Why would they want to integrate into civilian life?? Once you are a Marine, the best you can hope for is to peacefully coexist with civilians. Why chuck all the pride, professionalism, esprit de corps, physical fitness, etc. to fit in with civilians? We love civilians. They are our country, our reason for existing. We willingly risk death or injury to protect them Many suffer lifelong disability protecting civilians. But why for the love of Chesty Puller and Dan Daly would you want to revert to civilian??

Nicholas Mcclurken The best thing that any one transitioning can do is to have a solid plan with achievable goals. Do as much research as you can before you interview, so that you are better prepared than the other candidates. utilize your educational benefits and save/invest your money wisely. Discipline and determination will take a person where they want to go. Staying very busy also helps with the transition because you are too busy for distractions.
