Fellow Veterans: I am looking for a title to my article discussing the barriers Veterans face leaving the military.

2015-06-18T14:21:13-04:00

Can you help me with narrowing down a title for this article? It will cover why Vets face these barriers and the roles that both the military and civilian sectors play in these barriers. Titles so far:

1. Bridging The Gap
2. Blurred Lines
3. The Miseducation of Corporate America and Military
4. Collaborative Efforts: Effective Ways to Bridge the Gap

Thoughts?

# 3; Gets the attention of Civilians & Military. The other 3 do not.....could be addressing anything. Just my two cents. Good luck!

I would recommend "Breaching the Barriers" since I think that would be a primary intent of your article. Hopefully you article goes beyond identifying the "roles the military and civilian sectors play in these barriers" and presents approaches to eliminating or at least reducing the barriers.

I like all four titles but I think the word "Military" has to be in the title or it won't be picked up by the major search engines. Thank You for this effort and, for your service.

The Difficult Transition from Military to Civilian Life

Military service is difficult, demanding and dangerous. But returning to civilian life also poses challenges for the men and women who have served in the armed forces.

A lot would depend on the content and tone of your article. I believe the transition is a lot like navigating an obstacle course. There are financial hurdles, language barriers, educational challenges, work/life balance issues...

If the focus of the article is on misconceptions held by corporate America and service members I would go with number 3. If the focus is on tools to build bridges, I would go with number 1.

How about something like "Misconceptions of Civilians to Military Personnel"?
