 transitioning military help Aug 24, 2007
Bradley-Morris, Inc. (BMI) commends Mr. Henderson for endeavoring to assist transitioning military. As the largest military to civilian placement firm, we have found that the most successful military job seekers who utilize our free services are the ones who appear that they are ready to make the transition to the civilian work force in their appearance, speech and dress.
However, we would quibble with this advice: "Stick to the firms that advertise in Army, Navy and Air Force Times..." We believe this advice is out of date. We also believe that no one should pay a fee for job seeker services. There are too many good free services available to military job seekers.

 Got results for me! Apr 14, 2006
I found Colonel Henderson's book extremely helpful. He has done a great job of finding the methods, the resources, the skills, and the best practices that a person leaving the military needs to ensure his of her landing a great civilian "gig." I could have spent weeks trekking around from office to office - counselors, family service centers, base info sites, etc. - but this book has it all in one place. There were even lots of tips about writing a good, impressive resume - things I never would have thought of. I disagree quite strongly with Cpl. Loveland in his review, which said the opposite - that he could have done the legwork himself and saved a few bucks (the cost of this excellent book).

 What a waste of time Mar 04, 2006
As a military member about to retire I bought this looking for good advice and maybe to use as a reference. It's a waste of money. You can get the same info at your base family service center (or whatever each branch calls it) for free AND talk to a real person that will help you with questions. Do the leg work and save your cash.

Job Search Marketing your military experience Aug 21, 2000
Anyone thinking about leaving the service should read this book at least 18 months before separating, whether leaving after one hitch, or a 20+ year retirement. Mr. Henderson has laid out in a clear, logical manner all the things that must be considered before transitioning into the civilian work force. Most military people simply haven't thought about leaving the service until it is upon them. This book is a "primer". It will get you started in the creation of your own personal transition plan, one that meets your needs. Not a "one size fits all" book by any means, you build your own plan. The book lays out a foundation, the details are your personal choice. In fact, the amount of other sources of important information referenced in the book is one of it most valuable strengths.

Its the most helpful May 05, 2000
This book is in my view the best out there for anyone separating from the military. This is especially true in light of todays internet use for obtaining employment. In addition, the resume section is clearly excellent. As a retired commander from the Navy I recommend the book without reservation!
