The shortage of cybersecurity professionals is a significant risk to The United States of America's overall national security and economic prosperity. The U.S. branches of the military provide training and education in cybersecurity, and some transitioning military are well versed in risk management and may possess highly sought-after security clearances obtained while in the service. These trained, experienced, and often, able-to-be-cleared individuals should be viewed as highly desirable members of the civilian cybersecurity workforce. Yet, for some transitioning military it is challenging to determine how to translate military experience to civilian cybersecurity work roles and to find employers who have jobs that leverage their military experience. A workshop was held on March 21, 2017, attended by a small group of interested participants from the federal government, non-profit organizations, academia, and industry, as well as several members of the military, to share information and ideas about how the environment might be improved before, during, and after transition programs. Recommendations from the workshop discussion included concrete suggestions both for the military and for the private sector to do more to streamline a warfighter's experience from before entering the service all the way through to transitioning to a new civilian cybersecurity career.

The Transitioned Veteran: Success Beyond Service is a compilation of stories by Veterans sharing their journey of transitioning from the military to the corporate world. These are real stories from real Veterans revealing their own fears, successes, failures, resourcefulness, perseverance and just-do-it attitude while working to find that next job in a culture foreign to what many had expected.This book is an unedited gathering of stories written by Veterans like those found in our Military Transition books who wanted to share their job transition experience from the Service. While all were ultimately successful, some fought hard, were completely overwhelmed, confused, or felt disgruntled if they did not find the right job, or a job at all. The obstacles and successes shared can offer lessons learned and insight for all working to transition.Over the last 5 years and with over 5,000 books in circulation, we at GR8Transitions4U have helped many Service men and women transition. Here is what we know. The most significant feedback we received over the years from our books was that we shared real Veterans' stories who transitioned out of the Service and into a career within the context of our books. Readers wanted to read stories about their predecessors' journeys to successful employment. The Transitioned Veteran: Success Beyond Service is not Service specific; it contains Veterans' stories from officers to enlisted who have transitioned as professionals, blue collar workers, and entrepreneurs. Each story in this book is framed around 12 questions gathered from insight derived from gathering experiences while helping to serve those who have served. Each story is an inspiration in and of itself. It is with humility and respect that I present these stories from the men and women of our military who have not only bravely served our country, but have also bravely transitioned into successful careers beyond their Service. Even if only one transitioning Serviceman or Servicewoman reads a story that helps them with their own transition, then I have succeeded in my efforts to produce this book.
