Veterans Helping Military Members Transition into Civilian Life

A group of veterans is conducting an independent study to better understand the military to civilian transition process. The goal of this project is to help service members who are completing their military commitments transition more effectively into private life.
The approach by Military-Transition.org should be very familiar to military members: gather actionable intelligence about the developing situation and prepare for the mission of transitioning.

Veterans Helping Military Members Transition into Civilian Life
“Our objectives are to help soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguard members understand and prepare for the transition process ahead, which should reduce the time needed, ease the uncertainty, and help them find the best fit for their skills and aspirations,” said Brian Niswander, chief architect of the study and Founder/President of Military-Transition.org.  Niswander, a transitioned veteran himself, continued, “We’ve based our approach upon 19 years of experience and qualitative research with transitioning veterans in both private and public sector organizations.”

According to research by Military-Transition.org , regardless of service branch or rank, most veterans wonder about the same kinds of things pertaining to follow-on employment. The most common questions include:

1. What does someone with my experience, education, and training do in the civilian workforce and what kind of pay is typical?
2. Will I like it outside the military?
3. What challenges or obstacles are ahead in my upcoming transitioning?
4. What lessons can I learn and apply from my fellow veterans who have already transitioned?
5. How will my quality of life as a civilian compare to the military lifestyle that surrounded me in the military?
