#PeopleofPrecise: Meet Joseph Jackel

For Army veteran Joseph Jackel, leadership has always started with serving others.

This Military Appreciation Month, we’re honored to spotlight Joseph as part of our #PeopleOfPrecise series and recognize the impact he continues to make both professionally and personally.

After serving 24 years in the United States Army, Joseph joined Precise through the DoD SkillBridge program and now serves as a Program Management Analyst (Senior) supporting DEOMI. In his role, he teaches, coaches, mentors, and evaluates instructors — continuing a career centered around leadership and development.

Joseph’s journey into military service began shortly after the events of September 11, 2001.

“9/11 happened on a Tuesday, and I was in the recruiter’s office that Saturday.”

That decision led to more than two decades of service, sacrifice, and leadership. Reflecting on his Army career, Joseph says the moments that meant the most were the opportunities to lead others in combat.

“Every time I led men in combat.”

Like many veterans, transitioning into civilian life came with uncertainty. Through the DoD SkillBridge program with Precise, Joseph found support, confidence, and a smooth path into his next chapter.

“Serving 24 years in the Army, there is a lot of doubt transitioning out,” Joseph shared. “SkillBridge with Precise made my transition the easiest that it could have been.”

Today, Joseph continues to make an impact through mentorship, training, and leadership — helping others grow while carrying forward the values that shaped his military career.

For Joseph, Military Appreciation Month is a time to reflect on the collective sacrifice of the military community.

“It is not about me. It’s appreciation to all still serving, those that did serve, and those that made the ultimate sacrifice that are no longer with us.”

Thank you, Joseph, for your service, leadership, and continued dedication to supporting others. We’re proud to have you on the Precise Team.
