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).

True...one former General took a director's position of a distribution center with a corporation after retirement. While still prestigious, it was lower in responsibility. It is similar to taking a brigade command as a Colonel although he previously had more people reporting to him.
