@mayinmidlife: Four years before separation is when you should stop thinking only about your military career and start thinking about your next career. Here's where I'd focus: • Translate your military experience into civilian language. • Earn certifications that employers actually recognize. • Create and maintain a LinkedIn profile. • Start attending networking events when possible. • Volunteer for leadership opportunities that strengthen your resume. • Continue documenting every medical condition and treatment. Remember, employers don't automatically understand military experience. It's your job to translate it. Don't wait until your last six months to figure that out. #MilitaryTransition #Veterans #MilitaryCareer #CareerPlanning #LifeAfterService
