10 Lessons Learned during My Transition from the Military 1. Networking is vital in every aspect of life. The Honor Foundation is helping me build a strong foundation for success. (Visit Honor.org) 2. Set clear goals and continuously reassess them as new information becomes available. 3. Envision your ideal life 2-3 months after retirement. What does it look like? 4. Familiarize yourself with all aspects of the VA and medical documentation. 5. Obtain term life insurance before filing a VA claim. 6. Identify the training or schooling you need to qualify for your desired job. 7. The more people you connect with, the easier it becomes to pinpoint a position that aligns with your motivations. 8. Take this opportunity to experiment with internships and SkillBridge programs. 9. Take necessary steps to ensure financial continuity during the transition. 10. Retire gracefully by setting your team up for success and overcommunicating your intentions. I know I still have more to learn, and I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to help and guide me on this journey.

In addition to valuable career training, the network you will build will be invaluable as you navigate your career after the Military.

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation with a TSM (transitioning Service Member). I asked him if he was interested in DOD Skill Bridge or a Career skills program to prepare for his transition. He replied with " No thank you I am going to X state". I was confused because I did not understand how a state restricts a TSM from doing a CSP or SB while in service. I did not have time to follow up as I had other TSM that were prepared and knowledgeable of the opportunities for them so I breezed past the response and thanked him for his time. My takeaway? Some TSM do not understand what they have available as opportunities as a CSP or SB. So as a former NCO instead of complaining I am going to provide MY VIEW on these programs and hope that my network shares with other TSM so that they know what they have available to them. DOD Skillbridge: Its essentially a military internship with a specific company in hopes of receiving a job offer after the internship. Not all SB have job offers tied to them and some are just training. However, you can sign up for an SB by contacting the company directly or a better way would be to search on a DOD SkillBridge job board. I do not recommend the official DOD SB board as I found many contacts are out of date so instead I recommend looking up Hire Military and Vets2pm SB job board respectively as they both actively manage their SB programs. Hire Military Job Board: https://lnkd.in/giTdP2hp Vets2pm Skillbridge interest: https://lnkd.in/gbxiVGB3 Job Board: https://lnkd.in/ghVdsaSZ Many of the SB opportunities offer remote positions to facilitate employment as post covid we now understand you can do an office job from home. This means you can apply and attend a SB in another location while staying at your current duty station and move afterward. SB and CSP opportunities are not locked by a regional location and the goals of these programs are to help reduce veteran unemployment and support our TSM in their discharge process. For TSM pending a general discharge you are also still able to take advantage of state workforce innovation programs at your discharged duty station or at your home state through several grants. Contact your local workforce board to find out more.
