Riassunto

Camouflage to Pinstripes: Learning to Thrive in Civilian Culture explores the major life change of exiting the military and returning to civilian culture as a psychological process. This book, based on research and derived from real people's experiences, shepherds readers through the process of navigating changes in culture, identity, awareness, and self-renewal. It will help individuals make the most of this period of time and leverage the lessons learned from others. The title phrase “camouflage to pinstripes” denotes more than doffing a uniform and donning a suit; it is a metaphor for a gradual journey of surrendering a beloved lifestyle and profession and thriving in a new culture.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

You have probably selected this book because you, or someone you love, is still searching for a checklist, signposts, or a simple understanding of the steps needed to successfully assimilate into the civilian way of life. Because let's face it: the culture, the life, and the institution of the military are anything but mainstream. The title phrase “camouflage to pinstripes” denotes more than doffing a uniform and donning a suit; it is a metaphor for a gradual journey of surrendering a beloved lifestyle and profession and thriving in a new culture. This book is intended to heighten your awareness about the mental and emotional struggle you will face as a result of this change in culture and to provide insights for traversing the process of surrendering the old life situation and starting anew.
