I'm trying to help vets transition via http://www.battlefieldresumes.com & http://www.veteranemploymenttraining.com

And would like your input as to what the biggest problem is or was during your transition.

Not getting a good brief about what programs the VA has to offer. Unless you talk to the right person you might never know what is available...

MAJ Bruce Benedict - Some stuff I didn't find out about until I was working on an a claim with the DAV. Somebody needs to invite the DAV rep or one of the other service organizations to TAP briefings to cover what the VA fails to do. I'm sure this is a bit off topic for you Sir, but I feel better knowing that some one else is helping out...

Well when I separated in June of this year, I think the biggest road block his establishing yourself within the civilian sector as a professional and as an individual, until I really had to budget more accurately and forget that the military provided allot that I took for granted, I think an emphasis on a certain number of Saving's would be a good thing and then how to market your skills both directly learned through your military career field and those you acquired via the years of training. The VA part is also something that needs improvement as far as the claim process etc and what to realistically expect. I've posted on this before, I've thought all branches should take a more individual approach for someone retiring or separating that is over 6 months of time from their release, the way I look at it is the Government spent money to train you and condition you to be military they should do the same to make you a civilian.
