Host Dave Lakin sits down with SMA Jack Tilley, host of Your Next Mission.
The pair discusses a wide-range of relevant military transition topics. One major point being the importance of finding your tribe and not waiting for the transition to simply happen. Planning 2-years out is not wrong by any means and is even becoming more common.
