USO Fort Hood Pathfinder Site

The Pathfinder Program is a one-stop shop of transition services information, working alongside SFL-TAP, as we are not a mandatory program but rather one designed to enhance support to service members throughout their transition. We provide support in 8 different areas; Employment, Education, Financial readiness, VA benefits, Housing, Legal, Family Support, and Volunteerism.

Here at USO Fort Hood, the Pathfinder Program has three case managers, “Scouts,” that sit down one on one with the transitioning service member to develop an individualized plan for their transition. We work with them on an individual basis 12 months prior to 12 months post their transition, serving ANY discharge type. We serve Military Spouses at any point in their sponsor’s Active Duty, Retired or Veteran Status. There is not a timeframe to serve Military Spouses as they are always in a period of transition. The Scouts follow the soldier throughout their transition, following up with them weekly, engaging them with upcoming events, job fairs, etc. They truly are their personalized transition services point of contact.
