🎙️ This week on

We’re revisiting a conversation with Mary Bier, President & CEO of the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC), about supporting military-connected students and families.
As students head back to school, military families may be navigating more than new classrooms and routines. School transitions, moves, and the realities of military life can all shape a student’s educational experience.

Tune in as Mary shares:

➡️ Her own experience as a military spouse and parent using MCEC resources while stationed overseas
➡️ How MCEC supports the educational, social, and emotional needs of military-connected children
➡️ How Military Student Consultants provide personalized, concierge-style support to help military families navigate education
➡️ The role families, educators, and communities play in helping military-connected students thrive

Back-to-school season is a reminder that understanding the military-connected student experience can help create stronger support systems wherever military families call home.

Last week, we shared why PsychArmor joined Fall In. This week, we're sharing our pledge.

Our Fall In pledge is simple:

Train and certify professionals in military cultural competency. Help organizations make meaningful, measurable commitments to the military community.

Through Fall In, that commitment supports two key initiative pillars:

• Physical Health and Whole-Person Care
• Behavioral Health Access and Innovation

As the training partner for these pillars, PsychArmor helps organizations turn their commitment into measurable action through our Veteran Ready Organization (VRO) program. When 85% of your staff complete PsychArmor certification, your organization earns VRO status, demonstrating a meaningful investment in understanding and serving the military-connected community.

We have always believed that knowing how to show up for the military community is not optional for the providers they trust. Fall In gives that belief a public commitment and a formation to stand in.

If your organization is ready to make a measurable commitment, we are ready to help you get there.

Military kids change schools. A lot. And every move can mean gaps in learning that quietly add up.

This week on Behind the Mission, we talk with Stephanie Rundle—military spouse, educator, and founder of Bridge and Banner—about solving one of the most overlooked challenges facing military families: learning continuity.

From differences in curriculum timing to shifts in school culture and grading, Stephanie breaks down why transitions are so hard—and what parents can do about it.

Her work focuses on Pre-K through 5th grade, where the foundation is set, and where small gaps can have lasting impact.

Most important: she shares how parents can take an active role in supporting their child’s academic success—no matter how often they move.

Supporting the military community requires more than good intentions. It requires action.

That's why PsychArmor is joining Fall In, a new initiative launched through mcon.live that encourages organizations to make measurable commitments to military community wellbeing.

For years, we've believed that understanding military culture isn't optional for the people and organizations Veterans trust. Fall In gives that belief a public commitment and a community of partners working toward the same goal.

We're proud to stand alongside organizations committed to strengthening support for service members, Veterans, families, and caregivers.

We're in.

What if the skills built in military life could directly fuel innovation and entrepreneurship?

This week on Behind the Mission, host Duane France sits down with Deborah Bradbard, military spouse, psychologist, and inaugural director of the Boeing Center for Veteran Transition and Military Families.

Deborah’s journey started with personal experience—navigating military life, career disruption, and reinvention as a spouse. What began as figuring it out for herself became a mission to support others, combining her background in psychology with a deep understanding of military families and transition challenges.

The Boeing Center, a public-private partnership between Virginia Tech, Boeing, and the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, is based in Alexandria, Virginia and focused on helping transitioning service members, Veterans, and military spouses thrive in the civilian workforce and innovation economy.

Now, she’s leading a bold new effort focused on:
➡️ Helping transitioning service members find meaningful careers in Virginia
➡️ Advancing Veteran entrepreneurship—especially in tech and innovation
➡️ Using real labor market data to guide career pathways
➡️ Building programs that help early-stage founders validate ideas before seeking funding

Through partnerships and research, the Boeing Center is bridging the gap between military experience and civilian success—translating grit, adaptability, and operational thinking into real-world opportunity.

The takeaway: Veterans already have what it takes to innovate. They just need the right support to translate it.

🎙️ This week on Behind the Mission, host Duane France talks with Veteran family member Christopher Weedon, Founder and Executive Director of the Mentally Shredded Foundation, about preventing burnout and strengthening mental resilience through movement, reflection, conversation, and community.

Raised in a Veteran family and shaped by his experiences as a collegiate and semi-professional soccer player, Chris understands how identity, performance, and purpose can impact mental well-being. After facing his own struggles with anxiety, depression, and burnout, he created the Mentally Shredded Foundation to help others strengthen their mental wellness through movement, reflection, conversation, and community.

In this episode, he shares:

➡️ Why mental wellness should be practiced proactively, not only in times of crisis

➡️ How physical activity, meaningful conversation, and social connection work together to build resilience

➡️ The parallels between athletes and the military community when navigating identity, transition, and purpose

➡️ How the Mentally Shredded 3-in-1 Method creates safe spaces where people can move together, connect, and have honest conversations about mental health

The message is clear: whole-person wellness takes connection. The same trust and camaraderie that strengthen great teams can also build stronger, healthier communities.
