Military Transition - Veterans and Active Duty Military

We’re almost at a close to our series for our inner game to a military transition. Let me share some information with you.

1. We currently have thousands of military people serving in Iraq.
2. Many people serving in Iraq may not realized how much the
Civilian Sector has changed since they have been in the military.
3. Leaving the military is a significant life change.
4. Many people leaving the military are enrolling in college upon discharge to enhance their skills for the civilian sector. (I interview or meet them in the college setting daily).
5. We are unaware of our opportunities while leaving the military.
6. Some of us don’t understand why employers aren’t breaking down the door to hire us after the military.
7. No one ever explains that many of us have to build a resume after leaving the military to get to where we want to be with our ideal job.
8. We don’t understand why we have to thoroughly access ourselves after the military.
9. How can we as military people find the jobs that correlate with our military occupation?
10. Are we considering all of the opportunities available to us when leaving the military?

The above facts and questions are feedback I hear from our veterans. Our veterans are more vocal regarding their military transition than someone still serving in the military. This is because a military veteran has experienced pitfalls with their military transition and a person leaving the military has not encountered changing their environments. When we are still in the military, it’s very difficult to see how things may pan out for us.

Many of us will get a job right after the military. Some of us will struggle and eventually have a job to support our lifestyles. Few of us will have an extremely hard time adjusting to the civilian sector and may result in homelessness. Check any Veteran Center for your local veteran homeless statistics.

This is a true fact. Many people aren’t prepared to leave the military and face life changes that they aren’t prepared to deal with while military transitioning. There’s no true manual or technical order to state what a person should do step by step when they leave the military.

There are many books on the market that explains how to get a job, yet many fail at addressing what is going on in the military person’s mind while their leaving the military.

If there is one thing I’d like for you to consider, it’ this, there are coaching solutions to assist people leaving the military. Veterans In Motion is committed to addressing the inner battles and victories a person encounters while leaving the military.
