S5 #073 Navigating the Transition - Army to Civvy Street


Listen Later

CONTENT


The guest today is Loz Moore a former officer in the British Army. Loz was on podcast 62 when we discussed his operational tours with the infantry in Afghanistan, Iraq and NI. On this episode we discuss transitioning from military life to civilian careers and delve into the challenges of resettlement faced by veterans. We talk of our different experiences from my transition after 22 years of service and Loz’s abrupt transition due to medical retirement. The discussion emphasizes the importance of planning, self-awareness, and seeking help when needed. We also highlight the role of organizations in providing purpose and community post-service. The episode aims to offer valuable insights and practical advice for veterans navigating their own transition back to civilian life.


No Desert Island dits this episode as Loz has been on before but we do discuss "Storm of Steel" by Ernst Junger, "Devil's Guard" by George Robert Elford and "Memoirs of an Infantry Officer" by Siegfried Sassoon.
