This isn’t your average military transition book. It goes far beyond how to write a resume and find a job by providing you with all the guidance you need to successfully reenter the civilian world. Whether you’ve served three years or thirty, this is the book for you.
It walks you through the transition process and explains what life is like outside the perimeter fence so you can hit the ground running without your PT shoes. It’s packed with:
Job advice (including resume samples and writing tips, salary negotiation tactics, and where to look for the best government and civilian jobs)
Tips for using your GI Bill, as well as where and how to use this earned benefit
Tons of free resources you can use to hit the ground running as a civilian
Lists and explanations of government programs you can use as a veteran
Help for those with less-than-honorable discharges and involuntary separations
Guidance on retirement pay, VA disability benefits and government programs you may be able to use
Resources you can use when you’re struggling
Financial tips and tricks you can use to make ends meet
So much more, from immigration and divorce to what you need to know about workers’ unions, how to get temporary assistance from the government if you aren’t earning enough, and resources for your spouse and other dependents
