Join us for a powerful and inspiring conversation with Tony Grinston, the 16th Sergeant Major of the Army and current CEO of Army Emergency Relief (AER). In this VET S.O.S. episode, Tony talks about his transition from military leadership to nonprofit CEO, shares valuable advice for separating service members, and details the many ways AER supports soldiers and families.
We dive deep into:
Tony’s personal transition story (and name confusion!)
Leadership lessons from 36 years in uniform
Financial assistance programs for soldiers and spouses
AER’s Career Skills Program grants
Why hiring veterans is a smart business move
Whether you’re active duty, a veteran, a family member, or someone looking to support the military community—this episode is packed with wisdom, empathy, and resources to help you or someone you care about.
