Why these perks matter after your military service: I’ve helped veterans move into their first job after leaving the military, one thing is clear... Choose a company that truly cares about your personal well-being and growth. These perks aren’t just extras; they show that the company is committed to supporting your transition, taking care of you, and helping you succeed in civilian life. When considering a job, these perks are important because they reflect the company’s values.

How the Merchant Navy Showed Me My Strength and Transformed My Perspective Joining the merchant navy was a turning point in my life. It changed the way I see the world and revealed just how strong I truly am. While it might seem like a life free from distractions—traveling, earning money, and experiencing freedom—the reality is far more challenging. Here are some key lessons I've learned: Resilience: Life at sea isn’t easy. Facing constant uncertainty and isolation showed me the depth of my inner strength and ability to endure. Adaptability: The unpredictability of life onboard taught me how to adapt quickly and remain flexible, even in the toughest conditions. Teamwork: Working with a diverse crew reminded me how essential teamwork is to achieve shared goals and overcome challenges. Discipline: The structured environment instilled discipline that guides me in all aspects of life—professionally and personally. Global Awareness: Sailing across the world opened my eyes to the vast diversity of cultures, making me more globally aware and appreciative. Mental Toughness: The reality of being away from family and familiar surroundings for long periods demands a high level of mental and emotional strength. This journey has tested me, and I’ve come out stronger on the other side. The merchant navy has been more than just a career—it’s been a test of my resilience and character. And through it all, I’ve learned that even in the hardest jobs, growth and self-discovery are always possible. #MerchantNavy #Resilience #Strength #LifeAtSea #PersonalGrowth
