The
fact of the matter, is that transitioning from military to
civilian life after having deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan two,
three, maybe four times is that it can be a problem, as the
difference between military and civilian life is like night and day.
Going from being part of something larger than yourself, to having
to put up with some Mickey Mouse B.S. back in the so called “real
world” can be an adjustment to say the least. And going from the
front lines to the unemployment line only makes the matter worse,
especially considering that the unemployment rate for returning
Afghanistan vets is ridiculous.
But hey…you just came
from a place where you got to see with your own two eyes the number
of civilians working in Afghanistan (and Iraq). You already know the
job, and you know for a natural fact that you can hack the
environment, NO PROBLEM.
One
of the bennies of going back to Iraq or Afghanistan but this time as
a civilian working for Brown & Root, Fluor or any of those other
contractors you saw while you were over there, is that it can help
make the transition back to the civilian world a whole lot easier to
take. You've been there, done that. You may have already been
working with the civilian contractors over there driving the trucks,
delivering the supplies, working out on the flight line and asked
them about how you can come back after being released from active
duty. Once you get back over there, you may be working with the very
same people you were before you left.
It's kinda funny (not
ha-ha funny, but funny in a strange kinda way), that going back to a
war zone can have a calming effect.
Here's something
interesting…If you do some looking around on the internet about how
to write your resume when you're transitioning from military back to
a civilian, you'll see that every last one of the so-called
“professional” resume writing companies out there, go on and on
about how important it is to take all the military terminology out
of your resume, and replace it with something civilians can relate
to. Well guess what? In the world of LOGCAP, military terminology is
respected and spoken on a daily basis, and I (Bruce Diggs) not only
know how to speak your language, but I know how to put it in a
resume that will proudly reflect your time in the service. Roger
that.
I've been helping Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and
Marines to get back over there for a while now, so if you'd like to
give it a shot, let me know. I can't guarantee anything, except that
after I'm finished writing your resume you'll have an
outstanding chance of getting picked up
for a LOGCAP job…and the price won’t break the bank in the
process.
A lot of vets I help redeploy as civilians want to
get back in the mix so they can do something to provide support for
their unit and for the brothers and sisters they feel they left
behind. And who better to serve the military than former
military?
