The honor of country
You’ve honorably served your country through the military. You’ve been on deployments, performed your military job with dedication and focus, and gained an abundance of skills and knowledge. Now, your service is up, and you’re looking to get back into the rhythm of civilian life and enter the job market. No problem, right? Sometimes. But not always.

Why the Return to Civilian Life Can be Tough
There are many reasons why the return to civilian life can be difficult. One big obstacle is that civilians often don’t understand what those in the military have experienced or what being in the military entails. This results in a big communication gap. Other reasons may include:
- Returning to family life: After a deployment or even just getting off active duty in the military, there is a transition when returning to the family as roles must be re-developed.
- Learning how to look for a job: Often, veterans never have held a job other than the military or never gained the skills needed to search for a job. This can be challenging and overwhelming.
- Reduction of day-to-day routine and structure: Food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities are usually provided in the military, as well as set schedules for things like meal times. Having to transition to providing these necessities for yourself as well as a reduction in a set schedule can be hard to adjust to.
- Competitive environment in the work force: In many civilian job environments, the culture can be quite competitive, and people are looking to help themselves get ahead rather than working as a team. This is different than the military, where teamwork is the foundation of many aspects.
