The GoBe Podcast S1E3: Transitioning Military To Risky Business

December 12, 2023

What if the toughest battle you had to fight was not on a battlefield but in transitioning to civilian life after military service? We had a heart-to-heart with King Richie, a retired Marine who served for a whopping 24 years, as he shared his journey from being a combat engineer, and a recon Marine to his recent transition to the civilian world. He opened up about life in the military, the financial uncertainties of retirement, and how his family has handled his transition.


Brace yourself for an in-depth discussion on the critical need for preparing for life post-service. We talked about the necessity of organizing medical affairs, applying for disability benefits before retiring, and the challenges of finding new healthcare providers once military insurance ends. Also, we underscored the importance of not relying solely on military networks but building a civilian network, showcasing leadership skills to pique potential employers' interest.


As a cherry on top, King shared his experiences with GoBeRewarded, and we couldn't help but share a light-hearted moment about his marketing degree and appearance. The significance of hard work, effective self-marketing, and the challenges veterans face in selling their military background in the civilian world were also discussed. So, strap in and join us for this enlightening and engaging conversation, offering an intimate glimpse into the life of a retired Marine and the challenges of transitioning to civilian life.
