Below are comments from military officers who have read PCS and successfully transitioned to the business world.

"Without a doubt, PCS to Corporate America is a must-read for any JMO considering leaving the military. Roger's book was the most valuble tool I used during my transition. This book blew away myths that officers, including myself, often have about a transition. PCS teaches you to make an impact during interviews and those who read it will clearly stand out from his or her peers."
--Edward W. Allison Jr., New Product Introduction Engineer, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"PCS is the foundation of the military-to-corporate career transition process and a comprehensive summary of 'must know' information. By following the guidance in PCS, I'm significantly ahead of my corporate contemporaries in professionalism, etiquette and presence. Read PCS first - it will provide an excellent starting point for any other studying you do about business."
--Joel Bunting, Corporate Procurement, ExxonMobil Corporation

"This easy-to-read manual provided me the detailed insight and direction I needed, which set the stage for my smooth and stress-free transition. The concepts, approaches, and thoughts, which I continue to implement into my professional career, are priceless. Simply put, if being focused, organized, and fully prepared are you goals, then it is imperative that you read PCS."
--Mickey Weaver, Commercial Sales Engineer, Carrier Corporation

"PCS is a from-the-gut, direct read. Roger's style of telling the way it is gave me the building blocks to walk into an interview with confidence, and an understanding of what Corporate America was looking for in a JMO. This was the number one resource book for me in my transition to Corporate America. If you don't read PCS, you won't be ready for Corporate America."
--Brett Thoms, Manufacturing Team Leader, General Mills, Inc.

"Of the many books available which assist in resume writing and interviewing skills, PCS stands alone in addressing the unique questions and concerns of the transitioning military officer. PCS not only assists in analyzing interview questions, but also provides valuable insight into the similarities and differences between the military and Corporate America. PCS provides the transitioning military officer a wealth of information which is unavailable from any other source. No other source helps a military officer channel his or her unique qualities and leadership abilities into a successful career in the business world."
--Drew Williams, National Accounts Manager, Carrier Corporation

"Without PCS, the opportunities I had leaving the service would never have been available to me. PCS showed me the path to present my military background in a light that is relevant to Corporate America. PCS continues to impact my career in business. Even now, I will re-read portions of PCS every few months to identify those areas that I need to keep focus on. Because of PCS, I have continued to seek out new opportunities at my company to strengthen my background and broaden my future opportunities. The concepts that Roger lays out line up precisely with the interviewing strategies we employ at my company to identify management development candidates. If you are truly interested in making a successful transition to a developmental position in Corporate America, utilize this book as your primary preparatory tool."
--John McLean, Supplier Development Manager, Guidant Corporation

"PCS helped me understand the similarities of military life and the life in Corporate America. I was then able to identify the strengths which made me successful in the Air Force, and select an appropriate career in Corporate America. I routinely review PCS before I interview and look for the same Do's and Don'ts in interviewing candidates that Roger covers in his book. PCS gives officers a solid framework of what to expect in the interview process, steps to follow for skill development, and assimilation into Corporate America."
--Troy Washington, Division Manager, Johnson & Johnson

"I found PCS to be a field guide for professionalism for both the military and the business world. It provided insight into the common practices between the military and the business world, as well as helping to identify the differences. It is an outstanding tool to use for making the decision to leave the military or stay. I have found that the information provided on interviewing and professional behavior are the best advice I have received from any source. GE is now teaching a four step response methodology for describing accomplishments on the internal resume system and performance evaluation system that is very similar to that described in PCS, but I was doing it years ahead of the rest because of this book. PCS gives the military officer the best possible tools for making the decision to leave or stay in the military. It helps to educate us in what our options are and what it will take to succeed in the business world."
--Keith White, Six Sigma Black Belt, GE Aircraft Engines
