Purpose, restored.
Hear from some student-veterans and community thought-leaders who have experienced the p2i impact.
“VET+MAP’s programs help service members and their families rediscover their purpose, mindset, and identity after separation. It treats purpose as the center of transition, not an afterthought. It asks the questions résumé workshops cannot answer: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I called to build? Purpose, identity, and belonging are not soft concepts—they are protective factors. When service members leave the force with a renewed sense of mission and families equipped to run with them into civilian life, the risks of despair decline dramatically.”

“VET+MAP definitely changed my life. It allowed me to find my new anchor after transitioning out.”
Sarah T. '21
Student Veteran
“When I first came to Texas A&M, I was in a pretty dark place with the pressure of school, marriage, and my growing family. VET+MAP mended the disconnect I was experiencing and helped me focus on my true strengths.”
Dakota Kridler '22
Student Veteran
“There's a terrible statistic that shows we lose 22 veteran lives every day, and I personally believe that number is influenced by people not knowing their purpose and losing community. It's my hope that every veteran will eventually have access to VET+MAP's p2i™ Journey.”
Jake Stehle '26
Student Veteran, U.S. Navy Reserves

— Army Veteran, D. Gonzalez
Purpose: Empowered by Grace, Unleashing His Strength, Reflecting His Love
“With no sense of direction and several failed attempts at college, VET+MAP helped me discover who I really am and where I can truly thrive.”
— Marine Corps Veteran, Edinson
Purpose: To guide others by exemplifying continuous self-improvement
“Because of p2i, I am now able to understand a bit more of myself and change things around me accordingly. The most significant change it [p2i] made for me was learning about my talents. Because I knew how in depth I would go on some work, but never understood why until I started the program.”
— Noe Contreras
Purpose: To walk alongside friends with deliberate care, equipping each other with the tools to stand strong — drawing from shared strength and wisdom.
“p2i provided me with insight and direction from within that I had very much ignored and did not have the tools to find. It felt like I was spinning wheels, p2i helped put me on the track again.”

“Completely helped me understand myself as an individual, digging deep into my ambitions and life and the fuel I need to achieve them. This program is outstanding and I honestly can't speak highly enough of it. The in person Sherpa sessions were critical and absolutely a needed fundamental baseline for the program. Daniela is an amazing asset and extremely intuitive towards others.”
