Down Range: A Transitioning Veteran's Career Guide to Life's Next Phase

by James D. Murphy, William M. Duke

Military veterans prepare for the next mission in their careers Written by veterans who have successfully made the transition, Down Range offers career planning guidance to U.S. military veterans coming off active duty. This is NOT simply a guide to transitioning from the military to the civilian world. This is NOT a guide to getting a job. This book IS a guide to developing a post-military career, not just for the first few days, weeks, or months after active duty, but for the rest of your employed life. This simple and effective planning process has been taught to more than 1 million business executives in companies all over the world. This book challenges veterans to change their mind-set and understand just how different the "wilderness" of civilian employment is from military experience. Down Range provides an appreciation for what's important to a business, helping you to become a valuable asset throughout your career.

A great resource with numerous tools to organize the experiences and accomplishments already earned into marketable commodities for future employment and career opportunities. I recently participated in a transition seminar in which the authors facilitated the first two days through their company, Afterburner. Using the framework and methodologies outlined in Down Range, they enthusiastically and methodically conveyed proven techniques to assist all participants in making the most of their backgrounds after transitioning from military service.
