Transition Out: The Veteran's Workbook

Who Are You When the Uniform Comes Off

You know how to be a soldier. This is where you figure out the rest.

This is for:

For the separating service member — at any rank, from any branch — who has the resume, the DD-214, and the plan but is still not sure who they are outside the uniform.

You'll produce:your Your Veteran's Transition Agreement

The Name It First Experience

The military builds identity more completely than almost any other institution. TAP translates that into civilian language but not into a civilian self. Your Veteran's Transition Agreement moves from service retrospective through moral inventory to civilian identity architecture. An identity audit for the person underneath the rank. The work is yours. This is where you write it down.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. Who are you when the uniform comes off — and what is it like to find out?
  2. What parts of your identity were built inside the military that you are now carrying into a world that doesn't recognize them?
  3. What does building a life and a sense of self after service look like?

Research basis
