Retired Captain, United States Marine Corps (23 Years of Service)
"After retiring from the Marine Corps following 23 years of service, I faced the challenges of transitioning into a civilian career. During that process, Brian Scoggins became an invaluable mentor and resource. He connected me with opportunities at Northrop Grumman, provided guidance throughout the hiring process, and offered advice during compensation negotiations that made a meaningful difference for both my career and my family."
"What sets Brian and No Lone Wolves apart is their genuine commitment to helping others succeed. Brian leads with humility, integrity, and a servant's heart, always willing to invest his time, share opportunities, and support fellow veterans without expecting anything in return. Because of his mentorship, my family and I were able to remain in Southern California, making a lasting impact on our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and No Lone Wolves to any veteran seeking mentorship, support, and a community that truly stands beside those who have served."

"I first met Brian Scoggins while serving in the Marine Corps during a Black Belt project at MCAS Miramar. Over time, he became much more than a coworker—he became a trusted friend and mentor. When I transitioned out of the Marine Corps, I struggled to find stability and direction. Brian gave me an opportunity at Northrop Grumman, helping me regain my footing and continue building a meaningful career after military service."
"Since then, Brian has continued to mentor, support, and advocate for me, including trusting me to serve as Treasurer and a Board Member for No Lone Wolves while encouraging me to pursue higher levels of education and professional growth. Brian leads by example, genuinely invests in veterans and their families, and lives the mission of serving others. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and No Lone Wolves to any veteran seeking mentorship, support, and a community that truly understands the lifelong value of service."

"Although I didn't serve in the military, I spent nearly two decades working alongside our armed forces as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer with USAID and the Department of State in some of the world's most challenging environments. When I transitioned into the private sector, I found myself searching for purpose, direction, and a community that understood a life dedicated to public service. Brian Scoggins and No Lone Wolves welcomed me without hesitation, providing mentorship, career guidance, professional connections, and the encouragement I needed during one of the most significant transitions of my life."
"What makes No Lone Wolves truly exceptional is its commitment to people. Brian leads with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering belief that no one who has served others should face life's challenges alone. His support has strengthened both my confidence and my career, and I'm proud to recommend No Lone Wolves to veterans, first responders, and service-minded individuals seeking a genuine community built on trust, purpose, and connection."

U.S. Marine Corps Veteran (20 Years)
"After serving 20 years in the Marine Corps, I found myself in a comfortable civilian career, but I knew I wasn't reaching my full potential. Through my friendship with Brian Scoggins and the No Lone Wolves community, I found more than career advice—I found someone who genuinely believed in my abilities and encouraged me to pursue greater opportunities. Brian's mentorship, professional guidance, and referral to Northrop Grumman helped me transition into a role where I continue supporting the warfighter while growing both personally and professionally."
"What makes No Lone Wolves different is the authentic investment they make in people. Brian doesn't simply connect veterans with opportunities—he builds lasting relationships rooted in trust, accountability, and service. No Lone Wolves is a community that walks beside you through every stage of your transition, reminding you that success is built together. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and No Lone Wolves to any veteran looking for purpose, support, and a network that truly has their back."
