Title: Military Veteran Transitional Challenges Abstract: Military service is one of the most challenging professions, involving many different dangers, especially during war. In most cases, the effort of peacekeeping and the fight against criminal acts result in endangering the lives of the perpetrators, which exposes military service members to great risks. Challenges military forces face include severe injuries, witnessing killings, killing others, and loss of loved ones, who are either family or friends. Such cases of exposure to, taking part in, or witnessing the normalization of death and injuries typically inflict life-altering trauma and stress upon military service members and veterans. Even though, after experiencing such traumatic and challenging occurrences, the desire of each military veteran is always to fit back into the community, this process often involves a significant cost of maintaining the emotional balance and understanding, as a way of coping with the situation (Goldfarb, 2015). In addition to sharing individual reflections illustrating the varied difficulty of fitting back into civilian society and pursuing careers outside of military service, this research explores some of the transitional challenges that military veterans often face during and after being reintegrated as civilians.
