We plan our military transitions out loud, from SkillBridge timelines to the messy reality that no one has a perfect playbook. We trade real stories about money, medical documentation, and identity so you can build a plan that survives delays and uncertainty.
• sharing our transition dates and what we are aiming for next
• breaking down SkillBridge eligibility by rank and command approval
• using a transition checklist to reduce surprises
• building a cash buffer for pay delays and overpayment clawbacks
• planning for life insurance plus wills and beneficiary updates
• using GI Bill options and education benefits for family goals
• going to medical, documenting everything, and copying records
• timing VA disability and the BDD window
• naming the loss of community and purpose after separation
• relying on relationships over job applications
• applying the 3-2-1 focus framework for networking and progress
• supporting military spouses with fellowships and career planning
