Your ability to communicate through the written word and through art are amazing and any organization could not only benefit from your gifts, but many of them NEED your gifts! My hope and prayer is that you continue your blog sharing your story. Semper Fi!
You are a gifted communicator and, whether you realize it or not, your transition is the Marine Corps' loss. Before you pull the trigger I would encourage you to seek out others in the Marine Corps who can see the value your gift brings, even if it is outside the box. In the event you do transition, there are many companies who would be more than happy to take advantage of your skills.
I’ve been doing this stuff for scores of years in various assignments, and i still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. One of the things I’ve learned, though, is to be on the lookout for young people like you with fresh approaches to communications and technology. Your content and style have helped me streamline presentations, making the ideas more accessible for busy decision makers. Thank you. Best wishes for continued success in your endeavors.
I spent almost 30 years between our beloved Corps, the Army, and the Army Reserve. I will be 70 this year and I will still say the best years of my life were spent in the Corps and serving with Marines when I was in the Army. You will do well, no matter what the new mission in life. Amazing what a little leave in DC will to for the spirit and the mind. I have never met you personally but I know you be extraordinary when you leave the Corps. Keep us updated and keep your cover on when you wield the next sword. Semper Fi and God bless you and your husband.
I’m trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up right now too. A bit different. I think I’ll be transitioning out of the Canadian Forces after 32 years this year, kind of different, but only in degree. The desire to get outside of the box really resonates with me right now too. I hope you’ll have time and desire to share your journey here. I think it will be comforting for a lot of us going through similar journeys.
The GI Bill is your friend! Perhaps it is time to go back to college and earn a Master's Degree (or PHd) in something relevant to your skill set? "Advice is a dangerous gift to those who give it and those who receive it." Good Luck and Semper Fidelis!
