Welcome to Reference point

Most people don’t realize the most difficult part of serving your country is what happens when you come home. Often once separated from their respective military branch a veteran feels disconnected. To go from having a network of brothers that you count on every day to not knowing who to talk to about life’s many issues can be daunting. Somewhere along the way we lose our reference point for life.

Reference point is changing that.

Reference Point and its founders have been there for me in some of the most trying times of my marriage and my life. From late night calls and campfires, to camping trips, or just a morning coffee; I know that I don’t have to navigate the struggles of serving alone. Reference Point even allowed me the opportunity to attend a NASCAR Race with Will Connell, something I never would have done on my own. You would be hard pressed to find a better organization.

I was linked in with Reference Point by Will Connell in March, 2018. This professional organization has helped me network with IT organizations in the Chattanooga area so I can get back on my feet. Off the bat, I was linked in with three high-ranking IT professionals who helped me advance my start into the IT field.

I can’t say enough about this group! They are always there for you when u need them, no matter time or day. William and Daniel are doing a great thing for our Veterans here n Chattanooga area and other areas. They arrange a Range Day twice a year, that is always a good time to go. You get to blow up things and being around other veterans and have a good time. I’m so glad I found this group bc it is exactly what I needed as a Veteran.

I’ve been out almost 10 year’s and literally stumbled across Reference Point. It was good to find a group of Vets that are local. I got a chance to meet some local Vet’s. I look forward to meeting more.

I’m new to the group. First event was at the Veteran’s Range Day. Great event and great people. If you’re a veteran and looking for a community of fellow veterans? Check out Reference Point. If you need advice, looking for work or just need to talk to other veterans you will find a great community with a vast array of service experiences. Come out follow Reference Point on Facebook and attend some of our events.
