What they say about Mvoss Creation CareerWise Personal Branding and CareerWise Facebook Page

• Veronica Trott (Navy Spouse):  I like the information you post about advancement exams and study materials. Information about ERB and PTS has also been helpful. I think any more information that you can post about CLEP and how to get started is helpful. Dates/deadlines are always good to know. I pretty much see all of your posts through my news feed. If it pertains to anything my husband should know I read through it. Often I am telling him information well before he's heard it from his command. Family resources are great to know as well. Thank you for all you do. Your work is appreciated. :) 
• James Brookman:  Daily and I appreciate the fact that you are able to post updates for people that are sometimes too busy to keep up with the info. Thank you 
• Eliza Corpuz:   As a veteran, I screen your posts and share transition- and veteran-related announcements with a fledgling Student Veteran group here at CSU Northridge. If you ever consider creating a web site to disseminate this info, I would definitely be a regular visitor to your "veterans" section.
• Justin Landers ‎:  Agreed with all the above statements I find out the latest info on here than anywhere else 
• Lyndzey Stovall:  I read every post to see if the information that's put out pertains to my situations  
• Keith E. Richter (Detailer):   As a detailer, I like to use my 'insider' knowledge to help out Sailors who may not fully understand certain processes involved in order negotiations, order writing and release, and in how to find information in the MILPERSMAN. I try to visit at least several times per week and post as often as I see a need. Many times 'Navy Career Wise' has already answered so I do not have to say anything!
• Denise Gutierrez (CAREER COUNSELOR):  Your site is great! I am constantly viewing and amazed at how quick you get information to us. I always find the answers I need and like Richter said if I just search you have previously addressed it. As a NC I work from home and with career wise you are keeping me up to date. Keep up the awesome job! I visit the page everyday and really like the PTS and NWAE info. I also like the special editions you did for NAVY CAREER COUNSELOR Master Chief's retirement. Wouldn't change a thing! 
• Greg Roberts (SEL / YNCS / CAREER COUNSELOR):   I am stationed in Japan and with the time zone difference, and inconsideration of our time zone by Millington, I am able to gain quick, executive brief information before I roll into work. All from my hand held daily visits except my Monday your Sunday. Adv results, sailor impacting NAVADMINs, career knowledge & advice. Thanks for all that you do...from an SEL/CAREER COUNSELOR/YNCS (May 16)
• Laura Lloyd Farlett (LPO):  I like this FB page because there is lots of good information for all types of Sailors. I visit 3 or more times a week and I share useful information, mostly pertaining to my Sailors, on my command FB page. I like how easy it is to share the information you put out and it's not some "auto-delete" email from work. Thanks for all that you do! (May 16)
• Sarah Hill:  Visit at least two times a week if not more...easy way to get good info! (May 16)
• Judith Ann Emge-Brennan (CAREER COUNSELOR):  I love love love the fact that you put info up on everything career related, not just what's popular at the time. I try to visit daily so I can get more info to my Sailors. -very grateful CAREER COUNSELOR (May 16)
• Nagga Haizlip (CAREER COUNSELOR / LPO):   I read your page just about every day. The information you provide is very helpful.

• Samantha DeJesus (Navy Spouse):  You guys should make a group page, so if people have a question, they can utilize the search box tool. Other than that, excellent resource!
• Brock Taylor (LPO):  I am still impressed with this page because it offers up-to-the-minute career news and advise, something Sailors didn't have aCareer Counseloress to just a couple of years ago. Right now, the Navy is undergoing the highest level of career-related changes... and the information changes almost daily. It's good to be able to wake up in the morning, or check facebook randomly and see a good hint, a recent change, or even a funny Broadside comic. You all are doing a great job. Keep it up! MC1 Taylor.
• Farrah Almazan (Sailor): I absolutely love your page...always informative and quick to respond. Thank you for all your efforts to help and keep everyone informed.

Sailors helping Sailors is what this is all about. Thank You!
• David Wilson (CAREER COUNSELOR): With all the changes it seems impossible to be a subject matter expert or even proficient so it’s good to have a easy reference place to go to. Keep up the good work.

• Shawn T. Lewis:  I appreciate the work you all are doing. Lots of great information for our Sailors and Leaders to use and to pass on to our Sailors. These don't take the place of good old fashioned mentoring, but an additional tool in a Sailors toolbox.

• Joe Williams (LPO, SOY): Agreed this is some dynamite information!! Thank you CAREER WISE!!!
• Gresh Laing (LPO):  Funny story, I was hanging out with some friends in housing and we got to talking about the PTS system. One of the Sailors at the gathering is beginning the PTS submission process now. A gentleman in the group told him that he only needed to submit the last 2 evaluations to PTS (an answer that I knew was incorrect since OCT 2010). I advised him to have all available evals for his CAREER COUNSELOR to enter. The other gentleman? A NAVY CAREER COUNSELOR CAREER COUNSELOR! I told him to get on CAREER WISE so that his Sailors can benefit from the great info on this feed/site!
• Andre Bushart (CAREER COUNSELOR): Thanks for this information. Very useful!

As a sailor who does not have a very reliable NC I am very grateful to have found this page. Thank you very much for all your hard work towards spreading the word in every topic you get info one specially ERB. Your target audience seems to be every sailor (regardless of rank or service type i.e. Reservist, active, FTS, veterans etc) and there family. I especially like that every question is answered by more than one person. Shows others care. Keep up the hard work!
•  Jorge Delgado (NAVY CAREER COUNSELOR): Excellent, reliable, and consistent. Thank you.  Last thing It would be a great thing to legitimize this page if it were listed in the Navy's Official Social Media Directory: http://www.navy.mil/media/smd.asp
• Greg Roberts (LCPO):   Excellent source for current Career Counselor info; especially useful as many small commands do not rate an NC. This is how I start my morning, I really don't believe enough Sailors are aware of this very useful tool.
• Sharon Sillavan Chapel (PS1/LPO):  I love this page. You all do a fantastic job at putting out the most current information and changes going on in the Navy. I am an instructor at the Reserve Schoolhouse and I teach Reserve Career Information. I suggest this page to all my students and everyone I know in the Navy. Keep up the great work!
• Lauren Elise Hernandez: This page is a Godsend!!! Thank you so much for all of the information!!
• Navy Career Counselor Rosario:  You guys are awesome & your page is awesome! I'm on the NC Recruiter side of the house, but I do have a passion for getting our money's worth on education benefits, so I will ALWAYS help promote the same. Thanks for all that you do! I know from experience that this FB maintenance is VERY time consuming! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!!!
• Ryan Lester:  The fact that you're sincerely soliciting advice speaks volumes right there Not enough leaders do that. I think this is the best Navy info page out there. You've got a great team.
• Jennifer Radford:  I really appreciate that you answer questions from us wives who try to get info for the service member when they are unavailable or when they haven't been able to get the information. Great info about programs, etc. Everyone is so nice and quick to answer questions. This site is invaluable. You guys are Fantastic!! Thanks :)
• ICAREER COUNSELOR James Nies with SRF-JRMC in Yokosuka:   I wanted to personally thank you for all the information you put out on the Navy Career Wise facebook page.  As a non-NAVY CAREER COUNSELOR type filling the role of CAREER COUNSELOR your facebook page has made my life so much easier.  As chief's your facebook site should be a required daily read, especially with all the changes taking place that are directly impacting Sailors and their careers.  Again, thank you for taking your time to share the knowledge.  Cheers.
• Samantha:  I've gotten the right answers, when I've needed them. Proven to be a solid and reliable source of information. ~Navy wife.
• Kristina Perham: I like that you post information before my NC does. sorry NC1. :) I also like that you explain the Navy's polices rather than just putting the policy out.
• Nneka Nwagboso:  I feel a little more comfortable and supported by the branch I signed up with as opposed to feeling that the Navy does not care for me and my family's future.
• Jay Michael Yap Cugtas (Veteran Counselor):  Navy Wise provide precise based information that is open to everyone. It provides clear area of defined information that is not false info or scuttlebutt. I love the open forum and discussion.

• David Tullio:  Information is available to all hands here before it's available on "navy" websites (i.e. senior chief results list) which the navadmin has not even been released on NPC yet.
• Jennifer Radford:  Thank you for all of your help. I really wish that we would have had this kind of support before now. This board is such an asset to all military and their families.

• Gresh Laing (LPO):  NAVY CAREER COUNSELOR, Thank you for the quick response. I have recently shared this page with my friends and colleagues on FB. Sadly, with PTS moving so quickly it is difficult to find leadership who fully understand all aspects of the manning initiative. I see this resource as offering 2 types of information 1) Q&A (very useful for real-world situations) 2) FYI. I highly recommend this page to all my Shipmates. Thank you.
• Gabriel Thompson (CPO / CAREER COUNSELOR):  I'm an AOC at AIMD Sigonella, filling in CAREER COUNSELOR until our replacement gets here, been about 5 months.  I have been telling everyone over here about this page, in fact, I was turned on to it by one of my fellow brothers over here. Great page, keep up the great work!!

• Paula Lynn Beckner (CAREER COUNSELOR):  I like that you respond to questions in addition to the helpful information. Keep up the good job!
• Catrina Goodman (CAREER COUNSELOR): Having Navy Career Wise available back on the ship when it was only sent via email made life easier to get the word out. Especially the past few years where changes are rapid and scary for so many, having CAREER WISE on FB is awesome because I just have to share the link to share the news!
• Brandi Jasso (CAREER COUNSELOR): Navy Career Wise is always quick to spread the word about a career related matter, i.e PTS results are finally out! CAREER WISE also posts useful tips, resources, and guides related to major topics like CDBs, PTS, & HYT.  The information I get here has made my first tour as a CAREER COUNSELOR (as an FC) very doable.
• Jorge Esparza (CAREER COUNSELOR): I like the Navy Career page because not only does the page touch on topics that are affecting sailors now but also puts out information that's career enhancing ie: breakdown of how PTS-FR, college and AVSAB preps so on and so forth... especially helpful since I'm deployed right now and our computers are really slow so getting on NPC or BOL is really hard to do so i check the CAREER WISE page and I'm good to go! thanks for all the help! especially helpful since i'm deployed right now and our computers are really slow so getting on NPC or BOL is really hard to do so i check the CAREER WISE page and i'm good to go! thanks for all the help!
• Sean Vannoy (CAREER COUNSELOR): Great source of info for those who do not realize that there are NC's that care. Keep up the good work and spreading the word.
• Howell Jordan (CAREER COUNSELOR): It is like the military Google, yeah that sum it up. And I always like the other sideline folks that chime in to share their experience on topics mentioned. And honestly the timing couldn't be better with so many changes happening now in the military. I hope to see some more information on the DADT, because I guarantee you that if information on PTS was such a challenge getting out to the deckplate (much better now) DADT will be even more challenging. Keep on Keeping on CAREER WISE!
• Troy Anchick (CAREER COUNSELOR): I like the variety of information that is put out. Sometimes, in our commands, new things aren't put out,  so I find that this is a good source for new information. I also find the admins very helpful when I have questions.
• Scpoa Jbmdl: I'm new to the page, saw our Command NAVY CAREER COUNSELOR "like" this page. I enjoy beating her on the jump for the information :) It was wonderful that Navy Career Wise had the CPO Board Eligible results before anyone else. We have so many supporters from the upper COC on our page. It was nice to share that information first to support them for once. BZ CAREER WISE and Love ya FC1
• William Clark (CAREER COUNSELOR): Everything on the page and post has been very helpful. I think the news letter is very informative. Also the daily post about what's going on in the Navy, advancement info, career moves and PTS info. All is so very helpful!!! When I found this page I stayed on it for hours!!! Also the slide presentations page is much appreciated by me, and I'm sure by a lot of other people as well. Thanks!!!!
• Brian Preachers (CAREER COUNSELOR): First, I knew nothing about this page until I went to 9592 school. Since learning about it this page has been a wealth of knowledge for me enabling me to keep up to date on the newest information regarding the Navy and the overall pulse of new requirements as they come out.
• Randy Brewer (LPO): Thanks for the info on the slideshare.net, all kinds of good stuff.
