Riassunto

You’re Getting Out. NOW WHAT? is a practical guide for service members preparing to leave the military and build the next phase of life with more clarity, control, and confidence.

Military transition is bigger than finding a job. It touches your finances, healthcare, family, records, benefits, housing, identity, equipment turn-in, professional direction, and the first year after service. This book walks through that entire transition, from roughly 12 months before separation or retirement through the first 12 months of civilian life.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• build a realistic transition timeline

• translate military experience into civilian skills employers understand

• use evaluations, OERs, NCOERs, FITREPs, EVALs, awards, and personnel records to recover accomplishments for resumes and interviews

• compare private-sector, federal, contracting, education, and entrepreneurship paths

• prepare for interviews and convert military experience into strong civilian examples

• understand the difference between a civilian resume and a federal resume, including the current two-page federal resume standard

• evaluate SkillBridge, education, and credential opportunities

• organize service, medical, family, and transition records before access becomes harder

• compare military compensation with civilian salary and total benefits

• plan for healthcare coverage and continuity of care

• build a financial runway for delayed employment or unexpected transition costs

• prepare for CIF and equipment turn-in, resolve shortages responsibly, and close out military property

• manage final clearing, DD214 review, household moves, account access, and family records

• adjust to civilian workplace culture and your first months on the outside

• rebuild community, belonging, purpose, and a support network after service

• recognize when it is time to ask for career, financial, legal, family, medical, or other help

This is not a motivational send-off or a collection of generic transition advice. It is a working guide designed to help you make decisions, avoid preventable problems, and close the small gaps that often create the biggest headaches.

A substantial companion toolkit is included, with planning systems, decision tools, trackers, worksheets, interview preparation resources, compensation comparisons, healthcare planning, equipment-turn-in tracking, family transition tools, and first-year progress checks.

Whether you are separating after one enlistment, retiring after a full career, changing industries, going back to school, entering federal service, starting a business, or still figuring out what comes next, You’re Getting Out. NOW WHAT? helps you turn the transition into a plan.
