Each year nearly 250,000 servicemembers and their families leave the military. While a few (10 percent) go into full-time retirement, most expect to work for at least another 10, 20, or 30 years. So, what kind of employment decisions will they make? Where will they live? When and where will they retire? Faced with numerous forks in the road, most transitioning military want to make smart re-careering, relocation, and retirement decisions. They welcome useful advice. Like a good friend, Military-to-Civilian Success for Veterans and Their Families is designed to help anyone achieve transition success in the less structured and more chaotic civilian world. It forces readers to address one of the most important questions about their future: What do you want to do with the rest of your life? The answers hopefully involve more than just making money or acquiring more depreciating stuff. Successfully managing this process begins with changing one s mindset about meaning and purpose in life. Ideally, one should find work that confirms what so many other people in transition have discovered: If you pursue your passion, you ll be happy and healthy for the rest of your life When it comes time to re-career, don t just focus on jobs that look interesting or pay well.
