The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging for some veterans. While most say readjusting to civilian life was very or somewhat easy, roughly one-in-four say it was at least somewhat difficult.
Spanning over a decade of service to the country, to service members and to veterans, this book puts it all out on the table - tackling the little talked about, but ultimately critical, discoveries made on the path from military service to civilian life. The author's Discoveries:
-As veterans, we all share a common bond.
-You have to learn how to deal with other veterans.
-Being "strong," when being "smart" is an option, is a tough way to transition.
-"Ex-servicemen have recently severed some of the closest friendships they will ever know."
-As veterans, we need to be our own experts in our own transition.
-Veterans are owed nothing more than what they signed up for.
-In many ways, veterans are no different than anyone else.
-Trying to be different often brings unneeded difficulties.
-And much much more.
