If you're getting ready to retire from the military or recently retired from the military, it is important to understand the Strickland Decision and IRR 78-161.

The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pity.When god wants to give a message, he makes sure it gets delivered.

Privileges in Camouflage: Lessons Beyond the Uniform Scott Kinder’s recent post, “The Unspoken Privileges of the Uniform,” deeply resonated with me. Having served nearly 15 years in the military, I’ve experienced firsthand the unique privileges and culture that come with wearing the uniform—things I know I’ll miss after transitioning into civilian life. In the military, resilience is a way of life. Phrases like “embrace the suck” or “pain is weakness leaving the body” are part of the culture, shaping us to push through adversity. But as Scott aptly points out, these sayings and approaches don’t translate to the civilian world. Civilians value empathy, efficiency, and outcomes over toughness or hierarchy. What stood out to me the most is how authority and job security function differently. In uniform, rank commands respect, promotions often come with time served, and mistakes are met with corrective actions rather than dismissal. Outside, however, civilians focus on skills, measurable impact, and adaptability. Job security isn’t guaranteed, and respect must be earned. Scott’s message is clear: transitioning veterans must let go of some military mindsets and embrace a new set of rules. It’s a different game, and adapting quickly is the key to success. For those of us preparing for this shift, this post is both a warning and a guide. We should reflect on what we’re leaving behind and recognize the opportunity to grow beyond the bubble of the uniform. How are you preparing for your transition? What lessons have you learned about adapting to civilian life? Let’s share and support each other.

Making the leap from military service to a career in civilian life can seem like a wide distance to clear. However, according to the retired US Navy admiral who organized the raid against Osama bin Laden, the first steps are always the same. Retired Admiral Bill McRaven, one of America's most decorated veterans, said there's about 200,000 active service members who become veterans — and there's nothing better than "giving a vet a job."

To understand the rank of Fleet Admiral, one needs to consider the context of World War II. The United States was working alongside Allies who had higher ranks like Field Marshals and Fleet Admirals, which were superior to American ranks. To ensure American senior officers were not outranked, the United States established the ranks of Fleet Admiral and General of the Army, both five-star ranks. In total, nine men held these ranks. For the Navy, they were Nimitz, Halsey, King, and Leahy. In the Army, the five-star generals were Arnold, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, and Bradley.

"We are the product of our experiences". 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑑 𝐺𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒 Since I joined the military machine back in 1989, we had standards drilled into us - in all that we did. The standards of the Parachute Regiment and the standards of the Royal Military Police. The same adoption of highest standards have been a core aspect in all that I do, no matter what the subject, nature or requirement. It is built into my inner self. When I look at that adoption through a critical and objective eye within the commercial world, I find difficulty in identifying any discrepancy or adverse effect. On the contrary, it has built an approach to the delivery of service where other priorities of profiting from business or personal gain to come a second place. The byproduct of this approach has though ironically benefited both. The question I have though is why don't all industries adopt the same? Because in the long run, it has a way of working out in the best possible way for everyone. #closeprotection #standards #commercialworld
