LTC David Stender 652507 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So, since January, I have been preparing to transition from Active duty to a new civilian career. From now until I accomplish that task, I'll post some lessons learned along the way.<br /><br />Lesson 1: You need a plan! I have experience and education in emergency management, security management, law enforcement and IT. I need a plan to be able to move forward in one or more of these areas.<br /><br />Step 1: I'm actively working to translate what I've done in these areas into articulated statements distinguishing me from other civilian only candidates.<br /><br />Step 2: How are others distinguishing themselves in the area of training and education?..........if you did not know it.......certifications. 2015-05-08T11:35:59-04:00 LTC David Stender 652507
