Transition Tweet #66: A Canadian Armed Forces Veteran is not about a 10% discount at lululemon. You put aside civilian opportunities (school, industry, family, business) to voluntarily join the military. Leverage skills learned in service: trust, adv training, resilience, comms, etc.

Transition Tweet#65: Why are some Canadian Armed Forces transitions difficult? One answer is that #Veterans hit a wall of competing cultures, which can sap energy/momentum. There are vast differences between the military and civilian worlds; talk to those around you, be self-aware.

Transition Tweet#64: Your Canadian Armed Forces transition plan does not need to be perfect. In fact, seeking perfection will undermine your efforts. Understand where you want to go and march on that bearing. Be open to change; it comes in many forms. Veterans Affairs CA The Royal Canadian Legion

This is great news. Congratulations Amanda Baskwill, PhD (she/her)

Take a few minutes and read Mike Bechthold 🇺🇦🌻's article on the Kabul Air Evacuation. Insightful and leaves me with many questions.

Great story about the potential of transitioning

Transition Tweet#63: As you transition from the Canadian Armed Forces, do not let your bias influence your efforts. Acknowledge it.

A confirmation bias about civilians, workplaces, and where you think you fit may lead you astray. Keep an open mind.

Transition Tweet#61: Diversifying skills and expanding your network is (a) key to success for transitioning Canadian Armed Forces service members. Being able to articulate your experience in a civilian environment will broaden your career options. Veterans Affairs CA The Royal Canadian Legion

Transition Tweet#61: Your Canadian Armed Forces transition will be discomforting but necessary. Your new workplace will require enhanced competencies, so be prepared and take the time to learn. Build on your successes. Skills+Behaviour+Knowledge+Abilities=Competencies Veterans Affairs CA

Transition Tweet#60: SrNCO/SrNCMs are a critical structural link in the Canadian Armed Forces. Often described as the backbone. No argument here...but when you transition, you must learn how to accurately describe your prior role. Do not undersell yourself. Use appropriate language.

Yesterday it was Coach Saban, today it is New England Patriots Coach Bill. Two of the greatest ever.

Coach Bill and I hung out just two weeks ago.

While not a Alabama Football fan, NCAA Football will be a little less exciting next year. My hat is off to #CoachSaban .

Transition Tweet#59: Over the next week, a significant # of Canadian Armed Forces members will return to work, and several will submit release memos. While there are must/should dos when transitioning, each move is independent. Truly analyze next steps. Success depends on you.

While we are disappointed, what a great day. #NewEngland #Patriots

Since 2011, a core group of #RoyalCanadians have been attending different NFL games in various stadiums/cities. This year we brought our families.
