Thank you for sharing your experience. At First Command, one of our most valuable offerings is the Fast Start program, which provides intense professional development to new, independent Advisors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training period and offering a full array of employee benefits. Through the program, our Advisors learn how to build and grow their own businesses, serve new clients, and provide face-to-face financial coaching. Upon graduation, our Advisors can earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. Regarding your comment on insurance, our company does not focus on selling any specific type of financial product. Our Advisors offer products and services in the context of financial coaching through a comprehensive financial plan. Financial coaching is our Mission, and financial planning and advice are our primary offerings. We waive financial planning fees for our active-duty clients and ensure the financial plan's cost does not impede military families from getting started as early as possible on their path to pursuing financial security. First Command seeks Advisors who believe in this approach and always put our clients first. In this way, we maintain a culture that reflects the financial services industry's high ethical standards and best practices.
