It's a fact of life. One place to start (or continue) is right here on RallyPoint. <br /><br />I stayed in the same field and continued working for the Army when I retired from active duty, so many of my active duty contacts were helpful in the transition and remain good network contacts to this day.<br /><br />I think it would have been much more difficult if I had changed fields or not continued to work for the government.<br /><br />Maybe that helps some?
