High School to Military Alumni Network

I heard that some high schools have a 'military alumni' network. Does anyone know how I can go about finding out if my school has this data? I think communicating with them would provide great insights as I consider the military route.

Absolutely, reaching out to military alumni can provide a wealth of experience-based insights into what life in the military may be like. Here are a few initial steps you could take to find and connect with them:

1. School Resources: Contact your high school's guidance counselor. They might be able to provide you with contact information or connect you with graduates who have gone on to serve in the military. Be sure to ask about any alumni networking events that may be happening, where you could meet these individuals in person.

2. Mentorship Programs: See if your school has a mentorship program that matches current students with alumni. This would be a fantastic opportunity to get matched with someone who has served in the military.

3. Social Media Groups: Check out your high school's alumni pages on social media platforms like LinkedIn or Facebook. Here you can often find alumni who have listed their military service on their profile. Remember to use a professional and respectful approach when reaching out via these platforms.

4. Veteran Organizations: Research local veteran organizations. While they may not solely consist of your school's alumni, they can offer you the chance to interact with individuals who have vast military experience.

Remember, when reaching out, introduce yourself as a current student at your school, explain your interest in potential military service, and your desire to learn more about their experiences. Most alumni are happy to share their experiences and career advice with fellow graduates from their alma mater.
