On the Military.com site, they invite veterans to submit their personal stories about their transitions from military to civilian life. Real Military Transition Stories includes true, from-the-heart accounts to the changes its author/vets have encountered as they attempt to adjust to life in today’s America, with its shrinking job market, housing crisis and rising debts.
