A Veteran's Guide to Higher Education: Surviving the Transition from Military Service to the Academic Environment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483461519)

If you think serving a few years or even many years in the military means you'll easily get into college or land a job-then think again. Most service members find the transition to civilian life challenging. Schedule changes and undisciplined civilians set nerves on edge, which makes focusing on education tough. Mike Cubbage, a former Army combat veteran, draws upon his personal experiences in re-entering civilian life as well as his work advocating for veterans in this guide to navigating the transition to civilian life. While he shares tips in many areas, he focuses on education. Learn how to: find a school that will provide you with valuable support and skills; take advantage of military benefits that help pay for education; cope with the stress that goes along with transitioning to civilian life; and apply skills you learned in the military to succeed as a student..
