Leaving Defence isn’t just about swapping uniforms—it’s about stepping away from a built-in, tight-knit community where trust and camaraderie are second nature. Pivoting to civilian life can feel like navigating uncharted waters, and let’s be honest, it can feel daunting. Yes, there might be moments where you feel out of place, but here’s the thing: nothing lasts forever—not the awkward encounters, not the reintegration struggles, and definitely not the sense of being stuck. The key? Just keep showing up. Find communities that align with your new goals, be open to learning, and give yourself the grace to adapt. The same resilience that carried you through your service will carry you now. #Veterans #CareerTransition #Resilience
