Why (re) orient?
The lasting impact of your service identity can make it difficult to successfully integrate as a civilian.
Even after starting your first job out of the military, you might not feel at ease in your new environment.
You feel like you lost a community of people that “understood” what it was like.
The pace of life and work don’t match your expectations
You identify with group values, but your environment rewards individual achievement
The memories of the past have more weight than your present
You hide your military identity at work to fit in
You feel as if your time in service is under-appreciated
You're in the middle of figuring out a sense of purpose
You jumped into new work without testing it for values alignment
You’re performing & getting compensated well yet something still feels off
