AFBLUE Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 gr8snkbite and I have talked in person about life after the military a couple of months ago as I retired recently and now have a "real job"...whatever that is. Folks leaving the military often joke about having to get a "real job" or "figuring out what I want to be when I grow up" Transition from the the military to civilian world after 20-30 years can be quite disconcerting and stressful. It's a totally different world than what we have been used to. As he will soon discover, he is a highly valued commodity in the civilian world,. His biggest stress will not be "will I get a job" but rather "which job offer do I take". No disrepect was intended for giving 30 years of Service to this nation. Congratulations again and Thank you for the sacrifices you and your family have made for our freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing u must do is sleep in a few times!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Handler Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Congrats. Take some time off and catch your breath. Besides the politics of civilian employment, the rest is just gravy compared to military service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
