39. From My Foxhole #2: Should I Stay In or Get Out?
Welcome to the newest TMV Pod format!
In this episode, Brendan, Alexis, and Blake come to you live from San Francisco to discuss a question nearly every veteran has to answer - Should I stay in or get out? All bases are covered in this episode as we have one person on their way to military retirement, one veteran, and one who transitioned from active duty to the reserve component.
The Mil Vet team covers:
- How they framed their decision and at what point(s) they considered it
- The costs and benefits of staying in and getting out
- What obstacles they've faced due to their decision
- Advice on resources to help inform your own decision
The "From my Foxhole" series is designed to discuss some of the most common decisions that transitioning servicemembers must consider as they make the leap to the civilian workplace. You'll get to hear the perspectives of other veterans as they discuss how they approached the topic, why they made a certain decision, and the pros and cons associated with it.
Thanks for listening!
