On June 29, 2021, I had the opportunity to interview (via Zoom) Erin Stone, who retired from the Navy JAG Corps in 2017.  Erin now serves as the Senior Director, Council and Chapter Affairs at Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).  In telling us the story of her own career progression from military to civilian service, Erin underlined the importance of looking inward when determining what to do next and the importance of being flexible and prepared to take (and enjoy) the indirect route to that new career.
