Transition to civvie street

Hi All,

I'm Army_Pete, I served in the Army, discharged in 2012. Apart from doing a lot of general veteran focused work, I'm extremely passionate about helping Defence personnel transition as effectively as possible into civilian life when they're ready to make the jump. Having attended a number of transition seminars as an employer, speaking with dozens discharging and helping others with resumes etc, there is still a lot to be done in this space.

To that end, I'd like to share some resources with you.

You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/@veterantransitionsuccess

I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have. Despite having a rough transition myself, I've learned a hell of a lot and created a very fulfilling civilian life, and I'm really keen to help every veteran do the same.

Hi mate, welcome to the forums.

what a great thing to share your knowledge @Army_Pete - that’s really what these forums are about - helping each other out. For every time we are struggling and ask for some advice, there are other days when we offer our advice or experiences to others. Feel free to look back over the old threads and jump in.
