First Command, Rita Carter

About Us

I joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in March 2026, following a 10-year career with the Federal Government as a Budget Analyst and a 6-year career in the United States Air National Guard, where I attained the rank of Staff Sergeant. I understand the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military and am committed to helping service members and their families get their financial lives squared away.

I have a Master's Degree in Human Resources from Troy University, and hold Series 6, 63, and 65 securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in Alabama.

I am committed to coaching clients to pursue their financial goals and lifetime dreams by bringing sound financial knowledge and trustworthy advice to a lasting relationship with each individual and family I serve.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, riding with my husband on the Harley and spending time with family.

First Command Financial Services was founded in 1958 by a retired Air Force officer for the specific purpose of improving the financial well-being of military professionals and their families. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad, many of whom also served, are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”
