5 Pointers For Seamlessly Transitioning To Civilian Life 1. Create a Routine: Establishing a routine is crucial for regaining a sense of normalcy post-military service. Transitioning from a highly structured military life to uncertainty can leave you feeling adrift. 2. Serve Others: Many veterans find fulfillment in serving others. Volunteering not only gives back to the community but also provides a sense of purpose and routine. Consider lending your skills and expertise to local organizations or causes that resonate with you. 3. Highlight Your Military Accomplishments: Translating military experience into civilian terms can be daunting. However, your military background equips you with valuable skills such as leadership, discipline, and resilience. 4. Take Advantage of Resources: Utilize resources available to veterans transitioning to civilian life. Seek career assistance, including resume writing and job search support, from local libraries or community centers. 5. Find a Support System: Building a support network is essential for a successful transition. Lean on family and friends for emotional support, or connect with fellow veterans through support groups or online communities. Remember, transitioning to civilian life is a process, and it's okay to seek help along the way. #All #ActiveDuty #TransitioningMilitary #MilitarySpouses #Reservists #Veterans #ACTNowEducation
