When Navy Diver Brad Tachi transitioned out of the military, he didn’t expect silence.

After nearly nine years of high-stakes operations—repairing ships across the 7th Fleet, searching for IEDs in zero-visibility water, training foreign special operations teams—Brad assumed his next chapter would unfold with the same clarity and momentum.

It didn’t.

The resume got ignored. The job hunt felt directionless. And the civilian world didn’t understand what he brought to the table.

What followed were 16 months of unemployment, multiple moves, a growing family, and the brutal realization that his service—his leadership, discipline, and adaptability—wasn’t translating on paper.

But that frustration became fuel.

Brad didn’t want anyone else to face the same uncertainty alone. So, he built what he wished he had.

BestMilitaryResume.com was born—not out of funding or fanfare, but out of lived experience. A kitchen-table project turned full-scale mission, BMR now helps over 10,000 transitioning service members every year take control of their next steps.
