Army Vets Use AI to Make Home Management Easy
Preventive maintenance keeps the U.S. military mission-ready—and Army veterans Lindsey and Gabe Chrismon know it firsthand. They took that knowledge to the private sector with Oply, a company using AI to help homeowners protect their biggest investment through proactive upkeep.
Yes, You Know What You Were Signing Up For
Yes, you “signed up” the moment you said yes to marrying someone in the military. Maybe you expected the surprise goodbyes, the odd hours, the constant moves, the Tricare maze. Maybe you had an inkling that saying “I do” meant civilian life would never look the same again. But let’s be honest—knowing what’s coming doesn’t make it easier. It just means you’re bracing for it. You still have to live it.
3 Ways To Minimize Job Rejection
So, you didn’t land the job. Maybe you didn’t make it past the phone screen—or maybe you didn’t even get that far. No matter the stage, rejection stings. But moving forward starts with two key things: making sure employers clearly see the value you bring, and just as importantly, understanding what they need. You can’t offer the right solution if you don’t know what problem they’re trying to solve.

Army Vets Use AI to Make Home Management Easy

Preventive maintenance helps to keep America’s military on the move. By checking on equipment, taking it in for regularly scheduled service, and replacing parts before they break, military readiness is kept high and gear is ready when warfighters need it. Army veterans Lindsey and Gabe Chrismon know this well. Taking their knowledge to the private sector, the duo founded Oply, using artificial intelligence to help homeowners apply the same principles of preventative maintenance to their enormous investment.

Yes, You Know What You Were Signing Up For

Yes, you did “sign up” when you said yes to getting married. Sure, you probably knew that the job came with spontaneous goodbyes, weird hours, relocations, Tricare. And maybe there was the briefest awareness that once you said, “I do,” you’d never (ever) think about civilian life the same. Let’s be clear: knowing doesn’t make it easier. Knowing just means you’re bracing for impact. You still have to survive it.

3 Ways To Minimize Job Rejection

So, you didn't get the job. Or you didn't get the in-person interview after the phone screen. Or maybe you didn't even make it to the phone screen. They all share the same result: You got rejected...and it hurts. To learn how to deal with rejection, it's critical that the potential employer clearly understands your value. More importantly, it's imperative that you understand their needs, desires, and problems in order to give them what they want. You can't solve an employer's problem if you don't know what it is.
