The military is full of stereotypes. Contemporary perceptions of the average soldier or veteran often focus too much on one characteristic or miss the mark entirely. Whether it’s interbranch conflict, marriage woes, or political viewpoints, there are very few all-encompassing tropes that fit all members of the military.
Time served in the military teaches us many good habits worth emulating throughout the rest of our days. These serve in both in the civilian workforce and in our personal lives. When it comes time for you to transition out, consider taking these habits with you.
