Publisher's Synopsis
After serving 26+ years in the U.S. Army and retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer Five (CW5), I understand how overwhelming the transition from military to civilian life can be. I've walked the road of military retirement-navigating the financial, career, and personal shifts that come with it. Because of my own military transition experience, I created "my personal Countdown to Transition Notebook and Planner for Non-Retiring Service Members" as a supportive companion to help you plan with clarity, reduce stress, and feel fully prepared for your next chapter.
This comprehensive 24-month notebook and planner is created to serve as a proven resource and essential guide to help navigate the journey from military service to civilian life. Designed for service members who are separating without retiring, this flexible and practical resource provides step-by-step guidance tailored to your unique timeline. Whether you are 24 months (or less) away from separation-be it Voluntary (such as Expiration Term of Service [ETS] or Early Release Program [ERP]), Involuntary (Medical, Administrative, Disciplinary, etc.), or other circumstances-this book is designed to help you navigate the process with clarity, confidence, and success.
