Thank you for sharing your positive experience and for the time you spent at First Command. We are glad you found value in our leadership and our commitment to helping our Nation's military families pursue their financial goals. We understand your concern about transitioning to an independent contractor role after the initial nine months. This model is designed to empower our Financial Advisors with the flexibility and autonomy to build their own business while continuing to serve our clients with the full support of our Home Office resources. Many advisors find this structure rewarding because it allows them to control their schedule, grow their practice, and maximize earning potential, while staying connected to a mission-driven organization.
