I am 76. Vietnam vet. Three Purple Hearts. Did a total of 25 months in Nam out of a four year enlistment. Navy Corpsman. I contracted from 68 to 80. During that time I went to college and then law school. When I got out on 2/68 vets were not as popular as they are today. So we had to stand down to succeed in the civilian world. I call you new vets, “formers”. However, I think that will eventually have a limited run because there is a limited content… tactics, kit, politics. An old Chief once said to me that all the ribbons on my chest were good for a cup of coffee…. But that I’d better have the quarter to pay for it. That lesson stuck with me. Yes, a cup of coffee was a quarter back then. So looking back my advice to younger vets is: Stand down. Over your lifetime you will make more money and live more comfortably and provide better for your family wearing a suit to work rather than a tight T shirt and a plaid shirt. Very shortly it’s not about what a bad ass you still are but rather about paying the mortgage. Men have been coming home from war and putting down the sword and picking up the plow ever since there has been warfare. Use your military discipline and grit to get that done. Yes, I still workout, shoot long range and carry everyday. But when I look in the mirror I don’t see a a former sailor… I see a successful lawyer. I could have retired years ago… but I am still having fun at it. Good luck to all of you.

I've been a BRCC subscriber for just about 3 years, but was keeping track of them before that because of a friend I had who said hed briefly served with Matt. I have lots of Veterans in my family and other than help finding good jobs when they leave service, the biggest need is teaching Vets how to re-integrate into society. After years, sometimes decades in the Military, trying to "get the hang" of civilian society is a ROUGH time.

[@MrCoryRM]

I don’t think many people understand that part of it, they understand we volunteered to serve our country but, don’t understand how much of a difference it makes when we have to accommodate an example, customer service nightmares , cultural issues, entitlement based on so many things, it takes work and patience, that’s why so many can’t be bothered with doing it, I’ve lost too many brothers and sisters to this

[@chanceb6284]

Impressive. Well done. Good solid info.

[@thisisironclad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrNelsonnaruto1]

Do they not like David Goggin?

[@rjvanetten3123]

From what I gather part of their community doesn’t respect him very much.

[@Timothythebrewer]

Nicely done. Well articulated. Valid not just for vets, but civilian community career seekers as well.

[@thisisironclad]

Well said!

I did 10 years and some change. My transition from the Navy consisted of a call on the 1MC to be in the hanger bay in an hour. Packed my seabag and spent the next few days getting back stateside. I was at the end of my second 6 month deployment in 2 years. Spent the next week checking out of the Navy. No classes. No advanced travel pay to get back home because it hadn't been "preapproved". Thankfully, I had prepared on my own, had a place to stay, and money saved up.

The CEO of BRCC hosts two podcasts. This gentleman Evan Hafer knly hosts one.

[@silly_willi]

With regards to the transition process: You mean the military should prioritize/recognize that when a service member wants to get out they probably shouldn't assign them to any missions/assignments that require them to prioritize a military job they don't want to work anymore until their terminal leave window is supposed to start!? That's wild...😂
