What shall I wear today?

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Making any transition sometimes boils down to what you choose to wear each day.

Back in 1995 I transitioned from military Active Duty into the civilian workforce. Even as a kid growing up with my Army Dad and Junior ROTC in high school, I was around uniforms all my life.

So, when I made my mil2civ transition in the Summer of 1995 what do you think I feared the most? Dependability, punctuality, initiative, a positive attitude toward the job, ability to get along well with others, flexibility, motivation, organization, or an ability to perform assigned duties? No, sir.

It was something totally unforeseen - it was figuring out what to wear every day. You see, in the military that was always determined for us. We had uniforms. No choices needed as to what matches or fear if it looks good.

Whether you make your transition from military to civilian, old job to new job, being single to being married, childhood to adulthood to old age hood...sometimes it boils down to what you choose to wear that day...clothes, attitude, confidence and or any other material items.
