In Round 93 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, transition isn’t about leaving something behind. It’s about discovering what’s next. In this episode, explore how military veterans and first responders can take ownership of their stories; shifting focus from pain to progress. It’s not about forgetting the hard moments, it’s about recognizing how much strength lives in between them.
• Close Range Group (0–1 year from transition): Do a Gratitude Inventory.
Reclaim mental balance by writing down daily moments of good and retraining your mind to see beyond the hard days.
• Medium Range Group (about 5 years from transition): Write a Success Story.
Translate your service into a personal narrative that highlights your resilience and helps guide future career choices.
• Long Range Group (10+ years from transition): Convert Struggle into Service.
Channel the lessons from your toughest moments into mentorship or advocacy that gives meaning and direction to others.
You are not being replaced by technology; you are the safeguard that keeps it from failing.
The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.
