We all know that military transition is very difficult. If you are a transitioning military member, we don't need to tell you that you are feeling it right now. With so many unknowns, you may feel like your mind is giving you a whole bunch of good ideas to follow. They all seem plausible as you begin devoting attention and time to these ideas; however, in the end you feel like you are just spinning your wheels and making very little meaningful gains.
At PreVeteran, we know you are experiencing this and have developed the framework, tools, and support to help you overcome those unknowns and begin moving out productively on your own unique military transition.
So, what is PreVeteran all about? It's about supporting you in helping you create and plan for your successful military transition.

In the late 1930s, more than 150,000 volunteers with a love for aviation argued for an organization to put their planes and flying skills to use in defense of their country. As a result, the Civil Air Patrol was born one week prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Civil Air Patrol enjoys a proud legacy of selfless sacrifice and service to country and community that spans decades.
