Section 7: Your Current Situation
Your new chapter grants freedoms that weren't available in the military.
You have the freedom to decide where you want to live, what company to work for, how long you work there, and the type of work you want to do.
With so many options and directions, it can feel a bit overwhelming. How do you choose the best path?
If you've ever completed a land navigation course, you know there are two important pieces of information. Your current location and the distance/direction to your next point.
Like land navigation, a key step in your transition process is pausing to determine your current location. Without knowing your starting point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to chart a path to your next checkpoint.
Your current situation can be broken down into the different areas of your life. These include how you view yourself, where you live, your career, finances, health, and your relationships.
Analyzing each area allows you to pinpoint what needs to change, what can be improved, what stays the same, and what needs to be removed.
