Which area of emphasis should I choose for my blog, enlisted vets transitioning to civilian or my experience joining the American Legion?

So what has been your experience with the Legion? I joined the VFW but found it to be a smokers bar run by the 1970-80s crowd. Not too good.

Transitioning. Perhaps something related to helping enlisted SMs transition to "white collar" jobs. When I left the Army the first time around it seemed like most articles of that nature were geared towards officers. I'd also be interested in seeing advice on how to find a career in the civilian sector that is completely unrelated to your military job. I definitely struggled when trying to enter a new sector when leaving the service.

Both. Just ensure they're categorized separately. That's especially easy with WordPress.

Whichever you are more interested in. Too many blogs die out - pick something you can keep going awhile.
