Rucksack to Briefcase

Deploying back home can be every bit as challenging as a overseas deployment….if you don’t have the right training!” Rucksack to Briefcase: is a civilian-side job-hunting guide for service members and their families. I was faced with the challenge of transitioning back to the civilian workforce. Like many veterans, I learned it is difficult whether you’ve served six months, two years, or an entire career in the military. I created this book because there was not a single, simple guide that provided me the tools necessary to make a smooth transition to civilian employment. This newly updated edition addresses the unique challenges service members face when going from rucksack to briefcase. It includes a bonus chapter from a military spouse Dr Trenice West-Raymond.
