I’m Michael Lindsay. I served 13 years in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Reconnaissance Marine and team leader. I led Marines through high-pressure operations, trained them in tactics and readiness, and experienced firsthand the realities - good and bad - of military life.

I’ve seen how powerful the military can be for the right person. I’ve also seen how damaging it can be when someone joins for the wrong reasons, without the full picture.

After leaving the service, I kept hearing the same things:

“I didn’t really know what I was getting into.”
“I just trusted the recruiter.”
“I wish someone had talked me through it first.”

That’s why I started Point Zero Advisory - to be the voice I wish more people heard before they signed.

Today, I work with individuals and families who are considering military service and want honest, grounded guidance from someone who’s been there.

This isn’t about convincing you to join or not to join. It’s about helping you make the decision with your eyes wide open.
