For years, veterans and military spouses have struggled to find meaningful employment. All while companies have struggled with retaining top talent and attracting the right fit. Military Talent have been misled, overlooked and misrepresented by staffing firms and agencies looking for easy ways to line their pockets. Companies have been taken advantage of while struggling with poor performing talent solutions. Veterans and Military Spouses have been rejected, passed over, and ignored by companies who didn’t understand their worth. Companies have settled for the wrong fit to hire at the right time. We have experienced both sides to these problems and knew we could do better. We wanted to do more for our military community, and our nation’s workforce. Military Talent Partners was created to solves these problems.

About Us
“ODYD began at Fort Bliss in late 2015, when founders Renee Chapman, Ronya Rendon, Yvonne Coombes, Liz McKenrick and Melissa Riely decided to organize a dress swap among their units’ spouses, as a way to defray the costs associated with purchasing formalwear for holiday balls.

It wasn’t long before the idea became an organization, run entirely by volunteers. With the support of Fort Bliss’ Garrison Command and the Fort Bliss Spouses’ Club, ODYD set up a location next to the thrift shop. Soon, other installations expressed interest, and within one year, ODYD opened at Fort Eustis, VA, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.
