About Us
Welcome and thank you again for visiting!
The BLUF Military Benefits (BMB) site was founded by Jeff, an Air Force Captain, with an itch to create a better way to learn about and share military benefit opportunities that often go unrealized.
To date, the 'founding team' refers to Jeff, Morgan (wife and fellow Air Force Captain), a core group of family and friend supporters, and a few invaluable military veteran freelance writers.
We would love to grow our core volunteer support team with more members across the globe!
If you are interested, I'm sure we could find a spot for you, just email us at info@blufmilitarybenefits.com

Long Term: Create a Non-Profit or Benefit Corporation (B-Corp) so that we are not only spreading the word on military benefits but have the resources to hire a full time team and create our own real world benefits to give back to military families.
