out of Ft. Hood, Texas<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Transitioning is hard for anyone, whether you\u2019re a SGM or a SPC. It\u2019s kind of scary to get out of actually.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cResumes are stupid. That\u2019s basically what my ERB is. Can\u2019t they just look at that?\u201d<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was an 11B. It should be obvious what my skills are.\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eventually all transitioning military members realize that the civilian world works differently (and no, the civilian world won\u2019t think your stories from deployment are funny). Figuring out how to translate your skills to civilian English is a lot simpler than you think.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Career Service Station has a team dedicated to helping transitioning military members. Life is hard enough when you\u2019re getting out. Let someone else handle the grunt work for you.<\/h3>\n
