By the time you make your transition into civilian life, you will probably be pretty familiar with the military. You know what’s important, what people mean when they tell you to do things and how to succeed. But even if you are going into a field similar to the military (like becoming a state trooper), you’ll find that the structure, expectations and conventions are all new.

Good article about what should be common sense.
What vet's need to remember is that no one owes you anything. If you walk into an interview expecting or thinking that you deserve that job due to your veteran status, you won't get the job.
Good shit happens to good people (for the most part).

I think it's pretty easy to spot who is going to have a difficult transition out of the service into the civilian side, but that is just me assuming. I think I won't have a hard time letting all of it go, except for the comradery. That is the main thing I hear from those who have been out, or transitioned to the Guard/ Reserves.
