A lot of combat arms individuals--and I think Tricia can speak to this as well--do struggle initially because they don't see something that's the equivalent on the outside in the civilian world. I think where we come across as counsellors, our role is to help them understand what is out there in the civilian world in terms of options. We can certainly provide them with some psychometric assessments if they're really struggling with what it is they might like to do.
We're also seeing folks who, if after a little bit of counselling and coaching they do get a sense that there is something on the civilian side that they could do, then learn how to market themselves based on the skills they've amassed over the years within the military. Sometimes it's just a little bit of additional information and a lot of assistance around how to market yourself to the civilian world. It's not necessarily that they have to completely reinvent themselves.
For example, we've had folks who were in the artillery, and were able to--and I'm going to use the military word, remuster--reinvent themselves using those skills from the artillery. A lot of them have mathematical skills, the ability to talk about parabolas, etc. In a surveying type of role, that's really quite exceptional, so some of them have pursued those types of positions.
It's not a fait accompli that if you have a combat arms background there isn't an opportunity for you in the civilian world. It just takes a little additional work: your assessment piece or getting a better sense of what types of careers are out there in the civilian world.
Does that answer your question?
