Ideas flowed freely as they committed their thoughts to paper, outlining a vision that was not only ambitious but also achievable.
However, they understood that turning their vision into reality would require careful planning and adherence to a timeline.

MFREE 066 Trailer #1 with Jason Murray: Continuous Prep: Insights from Jason Murray

In this candid discussion, the speaker critiques the current military transition programs, suggesting they fall short of adequately preparing soldiers for civilian life.
Emphasizing the personal responsibility of soldiers to actively seek and prepare for their post-military careers, the speaker highlights the value of nonprofit programs, like the Special Operators Transition Foundation (SOTF), which he credits with significantly aiding his own transition 🌟.
These programs not only help veterans discover their post-service purpose but also equip them with the tools to pursue it.
Drawing on his experiences, he stresses the importance of continuous preparation for transition throughout one's military career, rather than deferring it until retirement is imminent 🕒.
This proactive approach ensures that veterans are well-prepared to manage their finances 💵, housing 🏠, and career paths in civilian life, rather than expecting an instantaneous adjustment.
