This Soldier’s Transition Serves As A Roadmap For Other Vets

Great story of a combat vet who survived war and made something of himself and his community.

Instead of losing his sense of purpose and drive after the military, this vet channeled it into his civilian life.
A few key decisions made all the difference for Justin McCarty, a former soldier now living in San Francisco. He grabbed opportunities as they were presented, accelerating the successful transition to a rewarding post-military career. McCarty, 30, now works in operations for a fast-growing startup. There he applies everything he learned in the military, college, and at previous jobs.
