Over 1,000 Veterans — and Counting

Why Two Marines Moving Is One of the Most Veteran-Friendly Employers You'll Ever Find

From the Founder

Nicholas Edmond Baucom — Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Two Marines Moving

1,000+

Veterans Employed Since November 10, 2008

On November 10, 2026, we will reach eighteen years in business. That's not a hiring initiative. That's not a recruiting campaign. That's nearly two decades of action.

Not a slogan.

Not a marketing line.

Just a reality that has been quietly unfolding since the day the company was founded.

More Than 1,000 Veterans

One veteran hired

is noteworthy.

Ten veterans hired

suggests intention.

One hundred veterans hired

suggests a pattern.

More than one thousand veterans hired

over nearly eighteen years suggests something much deeper.

Veterans continue choosing to work here. Year after year. Generation after generation. Branch after branch. Rank after rank. That doesn't happen by accident.

Veteran-Friendly Is an Understatement

Two Marines Moving doesn't just support veterans. We employ them. Over the years, we've worked with veterans from every branch:

The Marine Corps

The Army

The Navy

The Air Force

The Coast Guard

And yes, a few Guardians too

Eighteen years gives you time to collect every branch. We've worked alongside:

E-1 through E-9

Junior & senior officers

Combat arms veterans

Logistics professionals

Motor transport operators

Intelligence personnel

Aviation veterans

Former law enforcement

Different branches.

Different ranks.

Different specialties.

Same expectation: Show up. Perform. Carry your weight.

This Wasn't Accidental

Two Marines Moving wasn't built to talk about veterans. It was built by one. The founder is:

A Marine Corps infantryman

MOS 0311 Rifleman

A Sergeant of Marines

An Infantry Squad Leader

A graduate of Infantry Squad Leader's Course

The company name is not branding fluff. It's biography. From the beginning, the vision was simple: build a civilian company where veterans could work, earn, lead, transition, and belong. Not by pretending it's the military. But by creating an environment where military values remain useful.

Every Rank Has Walked Through the Door

Brand-new junior enlisted veterans

Experienced NCOs and SNCOs

Commissioned officers

Retirees

Veterans in transition

Veterans using the GI Bill

Some stayed for months.

Some stayed for years.

Some moved on to successful careers elsewhere.

All were treated like adults.

All were expected to perform.

All contributed to the story.

A Real Job, Not a "Thank You for Your Service" Job

This is not charity.

This is not a sympathy hire.

This is not a participation trophy.

Two Marines Moving is a for-profit small business. Clients matter. Standards matter. Performance matters. Veterans tend to succeed here because many already understand:

Accountability

Structure

Teamwork

Ownership

Responsibility

We don't lower the standard.

We help people meet it.

A Place for Transition Without Stagnation

Over the years, Two Marines Moving has served as a landing zone for veterans who:

Recently separated from service

Were waiting for school to begin

Were using GI Bill benefits

Were changing careers

Wanted leadership experience in the civilian world

Needed stable income while planning their next move

This is more than a temporary stop. It's real work with:

Industry-leading pay

Weekly pay

Significant gratuity opportunities

Leadership development

Flexible scheduling

Real responsibility

Veterans can stay productive, earn well, and build momentum while figuring out what comes next.

The Great Joint-Service Experiment

At this point, the founder may need to petition the Secretary of Defense for a Joint Service Award for surviving a successful three-year tour at Two Marines Moving. Half joking. Half serious.

Marines working alongside Soldiers

Sailors working alongside Airmen

Coast Guardsmen working alongside Marines

Guardians working alongside everybody

If joint operations have been tested in the civilian world, they've been tested here. And somehow, against all odds, the mission keeps getting completed.

Pride Without Pretending

Veteran-friendly

Pro-service

Pro-accountability

Pro-law-and-order

Pro-earning-your-keep

There is pride here.

But it is earned. Not issued.

You don't need to explain your background.

You don't need to hide it either.

You simply need to perform.

The Bottom Line

Since November 10, 2008, Two Marines Moving has employed more than 1,000 veterans.

Marines.

Soldiers.

Sailors.

Airmen.

Coast Guardsmen.

Guardians.

Junior enlisted.

Senior enlisted.

Officers.

Retirees.

Veterans building a new chapter.

Some stayed for a season.

Some stayed for years.

All became part of the story.

Nearly eighteen years later, that story is still being written.

And we're still hiring.

Apply today and take the next step with a company that has been putting veterans to work, quietly and consistently, for nearly two decades.

Over 1,000 veterans hired. And counting.

Mission First. Team Always.

Semper Fidelis,

Nicholas Edmond Baucom
