About this listen

Leaving the military is not an easy processes, leaving what you have known as work for most of your adult life for a different career or options is no easy task. I will talk to those who have left the military at different times in their career from after the first enlistment to 30+ years of service. When I left I was laser focused on the job that I would transition into, little did I know at the time that was the smallest of my concerns! Throughout discussion we will talk about what life lessons were learned, what regrets if any, and establish a new community that may not understand you at all.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.
