As a 20-year retired Army veteran, I am showing my support for a veteran of the Armed Forces. Josh's effort to assist our fellow veterans with preparing for civilian life is commendable. His crafty expression of thoughts; connecting analogies and familiar movies scripts to his message of transitioning provided entertainment for the reader. He spoke in a language that is familiar to enlisted service members. However, a revision to eliminate the profanity may read better.
