Free ChatGPT for transitioning U.S. servicemembers and veterans

Every year, hundreds of thousands of U.S. servicemembers transition from military to civilian life. It’s a big change with lots of promise, but there’s also a lot to figure out: job hunting, evaluating education options, navigating earned benefits, housing, finances, and getting used to a new routine. Nearly half of post-9/11 veterans say their adjustment to civilian life was difficult. 

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that AI tools benefit all of humanity, and that includes making the transition a little easier for those who have served.

Today we’re announcing that U.S. servicemembers and veterans can receive a free year of ChatGPT Plus if they’re within 12 months of retirement or separation. This initiative originated with veterans working at OpenAI who use these tools every day. They know firsthand how ChatGPT can help with the next chapter, from building resumes to exploring new careers.

With free ChatGPT Plus access, transitioning servicemembers will be able to:

• Write and adapt a resume so your military experience shows clearly in civilian terms

• Practice interviews with realistic questions and feedback

• Get straightforward explanations of benefits, forms and paperwork

• Make concrete plans for housing, education, relocation and finances

• Use the support anytime—no waiting, no appointment needed
