There’s a universal truth we all learn in childhood: Sometimes it takes a few tries to get things right. It’s one of those lessons that greets us at every stage of life, from mastering tying our shoelaces to finding the right career. When making a major life transition like retiring from the military, it helps to maintain that persistence and patience until you settle into a path that feels right for you and your family. One of the best things you can do as a transitioning service member is find a guide who can help you evaluate your options and course-correct if things go awry.
