First Command

"Stay away. They do a “financial assessment” in your first meeting and use that to set up a whole life insurance pitch. You don’t need life insurance, and even if you think you do, just go with term life insurance and invest the money you saved into a low fee mutual fund like Vanguard. Spend the time to learn about their commission structure and then you’ll understand why they pressure you into giving up three contacts (name, phone number) before you can leave."

"I want to share the life-changing experience I had with my First Command Financial Advisor, Katherine Holmes. She came to my rescue during a very difficult time in my life. My husband passed away suddenly in June of 2020. After his death, I felt overwhelmed with the responsibility of single-handedly supporting our family and I wasn't sure what steps to take next. I walked into Katherine’s office broken, exhausted and lost. She recognized my pain and guided me with compassion and kindness as we developed a financial plan for my family’s future. It felt as if my late husband was in the room as we worked together to continue the legacy that he had worked so hard for after 17 years of military service. Katherine was very knowledgeable and had all of my late husband’s accounts and financial goals on hand. She knew exactly how to allocate the funds from his First Command life insurance policy so that our future would be protected. My family and I are very grateful for Katherine and for the team at First Command for acting as our “financial first responders” during our time of need. – Katie Lyckman"

"Chris Tucker is very receptive to client needs and explores all viable options. I greatly appreciate his knowledge of alternatives such as iBonds! Mahalo for great advice!"

"I am more than satisfied with First Command. Mr. Panetta from First Command was very helpful through the process of applying for Whole Life Insurance. I strongly recommend for people to go and talk to him because of his positive attitude and determination in making sure you are receiving the best care and helping you in making the best financial decisions."

"Mr. Panetta invited me to come talk to him. Even when I first canceled he insisted in a very respectful manner to come in. I didn’t feel any pressure from the determination he had to get me to come talk to him. Once I finally came i realized his good intentions and how much knowledge he had when it comes to financial planning. I’m glad I came in and got started on my financial plan with First Command. It is good to know that even after finishing my active service I have a good and steady support system."
