Start doing an internship a year out, many Commands "neglect" to clarify that opportunity so they can keep you slaving. It's a right, not a "privilege".
If you’re referring to any type of Skillbridge program, I agree it’s a great opportunity - but it 100% is not a right (unfortunately).
Especially as retention and recruiting continues to suffer, commands are being very intentional about approving those requests. They do not “have” to approve anything. My request, for example, was denied due to the critical nature of my billet and our unit’s schedule.
A bit of luck is involved - these opportunities are not equitable, which angers me.
Take advantage of the programs offered to vets getting out. Use education benefits to get certifications paid for.
Between the GI bill and schools' yellow ribbon programs, and vocational rehab, the educational benefits can go a long way.
I had a plan about a year out from my separation. I was applying to colleges, and researching career paths.
I was one of the lucky ones. I know a lot of folks who didn’t plan that far ahead, and didn’t do so hot.
I was enlisted for prospective.
Just my own intuition. I had a career in mind and then just developed a college plan to get me there.

Honestly, pay more attention to the market, instead of having a mindset, “ iM a mILitArY oFfiCer, I’ll gEt hIreD iNsTantly.” Shit doesn’t really work that way especially depending on your skill set. Also, make sure you have a good network because the way the job market has shifted. It’s more of referrals than just applying for jobs. I don’t want any veteran to go through this shit I went through trying to find a solid job.
Are these responses going to end up on a LinkedIn post as insights for transitioning vets?
It was curiosity on my part. Do you think they should have shared on LinkedIn in the manner you referenced?
When you transitioned out of the military and went to your first job in the civilian world, how long did you stay at that job before you went to your next? And why did you leave that job?
