FTU...Life after the military Podcast
This podcast is dedicated to assisting veteran’s with the transition out of the military. We will discuss the difficulty in looking for employment. The harsh realization that the comradery that is demonstrated to you while serving does not always transfer over to normal life. We’ll also discuss dealing with mental health issues while trying to integrate into normal daily life. Lastly, we’ll try to help veteran’s find support for their issues.
