The Top 40 Under 40 Military

Each November in honor of Veterans Day, Military Transition News , the worldwide military base newspaper, will release its Top 40 Under 40 Military edition which will endeavor to recognize the top service members who are serving or have served in the U.S. armed forces.

                   

 

The criteria for consideration are as follows:

  • Serving or has served in the U.S. armed forces
  • Less than 40 years of age
  • Exemplary military performance as per their assignments and evaluations
  • Received or expect to receive an Honorable discharge

A distinguished committee selects the finalists and winners from the nominating pools (see bottom). Finalists are asked to submit additional biographical information to the committee for consideration.
