How did you financially plan for your transition from the military?

Though they weren’t bad, I did not find them better than RBFCU!

I didn't have a plan, I came to basic with only $20 in my pocket, that my father's retired ship mate gave to me. He said to take the $20 and spend it in a whore house, which I did in San Francisco 1972.
My father a retired Naval CPO told me before I left, the Army will provide everything I would need, and the Army did.

Getting out, I had $1200 the Army gave to me because, they had to pay my way home to Guam from North Carolina, and ship my POV. The company clerk's mistake, I should have been sent to Hawaii to ETS.

So, with all that said, I brought with me after getting out of the army, the skills to do a good complete job, and see things through as needed, and that's all I needed to enter civilian life.

Most will say you need money to survive, but in "Essence", it's was the 'Can Do Attitude" that the Army embedded into my skill sets to survive in my travels in life. Amen!

I made sure that I had enough bus fare to get off the base and to the airport. I couldn’t think any further than that at one time!!!
