Transitioning from the Military isn’t simple, but we make it more complicated when we think we are the only ones who do it. The Military has trained us to be flexible and responsive in our leadership and work ethic, why can’t we use those skills when we leave the Military? Preparing for your transition and being your own advocate is not only essential but common sense. Transitioning to an area where the Military or Federal Government is not prevalent is not a hindrance but an advantage if you make it that way.
