On episode nine I talk with Carly Croy about her and her husbands transitions out of the military. Her husband has been in six years and he is now ETSing. We talk logistics like terminal leave, moving to your new home location, using the GI bill, future healthcare, and classes that the military offers when service members get out.  

I ask her about future plans and fears that comes with entering the civilian world. We both agree the military is nice because you get a lot of benefits and a built-in community. Carly says the military world sometimes feels like your half adulting. She is nervous about going from that to having to figure everything out on their own. However, he is so optimistic about the future and not having to deal with all the unknowns the military brings. She is so excited to have her husband around all the time and be able to explore many possibilities. 

She gives the advice to family and friends of someone who is transitioning out of the military. Then she gives advice to any family ETSing: you have to take everything one step at a time, find the good in this season of life and hold onto that.
