John Gallagher – HR Manager

I just recently worked with Bryan to place one of his referrals at our business. Bryan is extremely knowledgeable of military and civilian culture and job placement. He takes the extra time necessary to understand your business and the needs of the position and likewise he spends a considerable amount of time with candidates to understand their backgrounds, skills, needs and desires. Matching up military skill sets with civilian jobs is tricky business and you need someone in your corner that understands both. Highly recommended.

Recently Transitioned Marine Corps Veteran – Maintenance Service Operator- Timken

Wonderful service! I was completely lost in my transition period from the military to civilian life. Mr. McGown helped me to feel more at ease with the process and even with all the things I didn’t think of. With his resume template and guidance, I was able to begin getting reasonable job offers from my home of record. I would recommend his service to any veteran who is transitioning to civilian life. He made it a much smoother process and took a lot of the stress and anxiety out of fear of the unknown. I believe I have made life long connections through his service and look forward to more interactions in the future!

Wingman Gunny McGown

“You don’t need to go through this transition alone. GunnyRet Consulting is there to inspire, coach, provide resources, and assist in developing a strategy to reach your goals. There will be challenges in this journey and to have a wingman like Bryan McGown can make it easier to achieve. Bryan is a true leader in pushing you to expand and evaluate what is working or explore areas to improve on to get the results you desire. He offers a real conversation to build a rapport, listens, understands the frustration, and motivates you to go the extra mile. To get the most out of his services you need to be flexible, take the initiative to follow his advice, and determination to follow-through. I am thankful for fellow servicemen like Bryan and he had my back when I needed it. I highly recommend his services as we all need a wingman!”

This quote reminds me of Bryan:

“The wingman is absolutely indispensable. I look after the wingman. The wingman looks after me. It’s another set of eyes protecting you. That the defensive part. Offensively, it gives you a lot more firepower. We work together. We fight together. The wingman knows what his responsibilities are, and knows what mine are. Wars are not won by individuals. They’re won by teams.”
