One thing I know for sure is that while the military is excellent at creating soldiers, it’s NOT good at creating civilians. And how could it be? It has to prepare us to be willing to run INTO the face of danger without regard for our personal safety. Our attention is focused on the mission, our unit’s success, and the lives and well-being of others.
We volunteer to go where our nation needs us and do whatever it asks of us. For the most part, our personal preferences and likes/dislikes rarely factor into our lives as soldiers. So it’s no wonder that when we consider what life outside the military holds for us it can be mind boggling – it was for me. Several times.
I’m out to assist active-duty and veterans find their way through this new and unfamiliar terrain – the civilian world – with confidence, ease and a personalized “flight” plan.
