A Note on These Articles
Some of these articles will specifically address practical military career information because I personally found the military’s lack of career flexibility frustrating. Some of these will focus more on your transition into civilian life. Some of these articles are personal reflections on different experiences and cultural phenomena I observed during my eight years on active duty. Disclaimer: There have been multiple instances where the specifics of benefits or resources I’ve written about have changed. I’ve done my best to stay up-to-date, but it’s impossible for me to keep up with it all. Please verify everything on official websites in case I missed something!
Obviously, my experience has been limited. I have enough intellectual humility to know that my opinions are just that: opinions. I’ve experienced the world in a specific way and through a certain lens, and that may differ from your life experience and observations. I hope you can appreciate my honesty and genuine interest in uninhibited, respectful discussion even if we disagree. I’m planning to continue writing about the military until I’ve completely de-programmed and become so fully occupied by my new path that this chapter slowly fades away.
