The Shift - John Gervais

For officers with 15-25 years of service, leaving the military isn't a job search problem, it's an identity crisis. When the rank comes off, the chain of command disappears, and the institutional structure that defined you for two decades is gone, most transition guides leave you with checklists. This one gives you a strategy. The Campaign of Your Life applies the campaign planning methodology you already know to the five pillars of civilian transition: military requirements, financial reality, employment strategy, corporate culture, and personal reinvention. The result is a Personal Transition Campaign Plan built for the officer mindset - honest, structured, and designed to get you from institutional certainty to civilian success. The mission isn't over. It's just changing.
