Life after the military can pose many challenges to veterans and family members. For some, returning to civilian life may feel like another battle that poses a variety of challenges that must not only be fought, but also understood and accepted in order to be successfully overcome. There are many factors involved in a veteran’s readjustment to civilian life, some of which include:

• Understanding and abiding by civilian legal standards that may be different from military standards.
• Coexisting with cultures, values, and norms different from those of the military.
• Dealing with authority figures.
• Re-establishing and even re-evaluating relationships with family and friends.
• Finding a new career path.
• Pursuing college/university education.
• Locating a new home.
