Air Force Materiel Command’s Post

Happy Friday, Team! Many transitioning military members have asked me what strategies have worked for me outside the traditional norms. As a Cohort member of PreVeteran, we have found that the Military Transition 1.0 Model doesn’t set you up for post-military success. Most transition activities occur in the last 12 months of service, which is problematic because the service member's workload triples during this time. Military members tend to prioritize the 1X and 2X activities and delay the more complicated and unfamiliar 3X activities. Consequently, they enter SkillBridge internships and higher education institutions sub-optimally prepared. The bottom line is that the Military Transition 1.0 model doesn’t work for the military member, employer, or higher ed institution.

I came across a post on Instagram that perfectly captures my current situation! It says, "No one is more stressed than someone who is multitasking and multitalented, yet confused about their career 😂." It's a spot-on reflection of how well the armed forces have trained us, often making us overqualified for many corporate positions that are being offered. Thankfully, some companies have established platforms like military hiring and veteran internships that facilitate a smoother transition. These programs are specifically designed to help transitioning military leaders understand corporate offerings and align them with their skills and personal goals. #VeteranTransition #MilitaryToCorporate #VeteranCareers #Multitalented #CareerConfusion #VeteranSupport #CorporateLife #MilitarySkills #VeteranSuccess #TransitioningVeterans #VeteranLeadership #CareerGoals #MilitaryTraining #VeteranInternships #CorporateOpportunities

Got resources? We are in the "Veterans Are Supported Era" and this is a great place to be. However, it can get overwhelming. Here is how to navigate the sea of resources available to veterans: 1. Utilize what your military branch provides (checklists, TAP, etc.). 2. Do your research...what are your brothers and sisters in arms utilizing? What was their experience? 3. Tap into one other resource that provides a holistic approach to the #militarytransition (training, internships, career services, lifetime access to training material, and job placement) We'd love to be that resource for you.
