The biggest thing that is missing a centralized Veterans post. A veterans campus of sorts as a central hub for help with benefits, employment and such.

I don't think I lacked anything... I think, at least for me, it was the typical fear of the unknown, and in a sense, feeling I was lacking many things that I actually wasn't... I just didn't discover that until after I had been out for a while... :)

Nothing really. To me it was freeing getting out.

I felt that I lacked direction and motivation. Here's my reasoning:

During my financial brief at ACAP, they flat out told us that we might want to consider unemployment while looking for a job. I mean there really wasn't a plan in motion. So i winged it, and because of my lack of experience; all I could get in my area were the minimum wage jobs. I wandered, had a lot of "ups and downs', until I took charge and am now attending college.

That bond of ultimate team cohesion like it was in all the Armor units I served in. We were a tightly knit family that got stuff done quickly without any slacking off. We had a mission and when it was done, we all enjoyed the down time together. Nobody was left out.
