Feedback Request:

Major topics on leaving the military are covered in
our Five Mistakes People Make While Leaving the
Military book on our web site at
www.veteransinmotion.com.

The first chapter to Five Mistakes addresses how
we perceive the world looks at us as a military person
and also how we have sacrificed as a military member.
The preface to the chapter explains how we develop
the “Sense of Entitlement” mindset.

I’ve been out of the military since December 2002.
You see, when I got out of the military, everything
was foreign to me and what I thought was important,
wasn’t. There were several things I hadn’t considered
as important at the time. The reason for this is, it’s
common to take many things for granted while serving our
country. Frustration sets in when we leave the military
and have to fend for ourselves.

The military provides a shield, which protects us from
a great deal of uncertainties. My vision is to provide
as much feedback to you so you can address what’s
going on inside of you while you make your move to
becoming a civilian.

Chapter 1 of the “Five Mistakes” recommends
starting a journal. Having a journal allows
for you to compare how your mindset changes
during your transition. It also allows for you
to see how you gradually approach life
differently.

The main theme of Chapter 1, of the “Five
Mistakes”, is the beginning of “Letting the Military Go”.
Next week we will focus on common traits
of people having a hard time letting the
military go. These are basic observations
based on interviews, working in the civilian
sector with veterans, and my personal
experiences.

I would personally like to thank the 45
subscribers to this newsletter. May the
newsletter provide you with tools to
address the adjustments with your
military transition.

Next week we will continue with the first chapter of
“Five Mistakes” located at www.veteransinmotion.com .
