Having recently transitioned back to the civilian life and currently in a position to assist others with their transition, I would like to hear from those that have also transitioned. If you could write a letter to yourself, knowing what you know now, what would say? What would you change about how you planned and executed your transition?

Finish school before you leave the military. It makes the transition 10x easier.

While very true, hard work and determination can go a long way. Online classes help a lot as well. Doing it all in school is close to impossible with some career fields.
I had the privilege of going to school and completing it before leaving. I was too young and dumb to take the opportunity. On my last year, I did full time school while working 12-16 hour shifts. Got As and Bs. It's very possible.

I would have told myself that it wasn't going to last forever and to put some money back. Civilian life comes with a lot of different responsibilities.
