Two veterans transition out of the military....

SAME branch.
SAME MOS.
SAME separation date.
SAME civilian career goals.

Four years later...

Veteran 1️⃣: Mid-level manager at a Fortune 500 company $150K/year 9-5 schedule, weekends off.

Veteran 2️⃣: Senior executive at a tech startup $400K/year 60+ hour weeks, always on call.

>>> So who made the better transition?

Spoiler Alert: Both of them.

Here's why: Success after service isn't about your title. It's not about your salary. It's not about matching another veteran's path.

It's about YOUR definition of victory after taking off the uniform.

Veteran 1️⃣?

• Coaches his kids' soccer teams
• Has time for VA appointments
• Still serves in the reserves
• Found the work-life balance he never had on active duty

Veteran 2️⃣?

• Building the next big thing
• Thrives on the startup intensity
• Replacing military adrenaline with entrepreneurial challenges
• Creating generational wealth for her future family

So...they're both crushing it.

And they would BOTH be miserable if they traded places.

Because post-military success is personal. Deeply, uniquely personal.

Maybe you want to climb the corporate ladder...
Maybe you want predictable hours and family time...
Maybe you want to build something from scratch...

Whatever YOUR mission is - it's the right one.

The best part?

The skills you learned in service work for ANY path.

• Grit
• Leadership
• Adaptability
• Resourcefulness

These make ANY civilian goal achievable.

What made you take your path?
