You've served your country with honor and now you're ready to conquer the private sector, there's only one problem, you know nothing about it. SET UP FOR SUCCESS is the ultimate guide for veterans looking to transition to the private sector. Former Army Ranger, Joel Carpenter and former Navy SEAL, Eric Muller offer their up close and personal experiences, both successes, and failures, as a resource for their fellow military veterans to help set them up for success.***“If you can read this book and walk away with at least one takeaway that helps you during your transition then we've accomplished our mission." ―SET UP FOR SUCCESS authors, Joel Carpenter & Eric Muller***ForewordVeterans! You are winners! You make things happen and in doing so, you make the world a better place. Throughout your military service, you could always rely on Tasks with Conditions and Standards. You learned and then operated off your S.O.P.’s. You were set up for success! Former Army Ranger, Joel Carpenter and former Navy SEAL, Eric Muller have constructed your pinnacle transition S.O.P. Like a Ranger or special warfare handbook for transition, Joel and Eric make it simple to understand the general phases of your transition from military service to the civilian world. Their transparency will make you feel like you've known them for years and as if they are snapped-in with you during your journey leading, mentoring and guiding you through your post-military changeover like an observer-controller. If you can take the time to read this book, retain its information and apply its disciplines, you will know once again what it feels like to be "Set up for Success!"―Mike Ferriter, Lieutenant General (Retired), U.S. Army Ranger, CEO, The Ferriter Group***Transitioning from the military can be very challenging. I know this from personal experience. I was medically retired as a Staff Sergeant and was forced to rethink my life. It was a shock. After all, I thought I was going to be the CSM of the Army and serve 30 years. What made the difference for me was getting the advice, counsel and mentoring from fellow veterans who had successfully transitioned themselves. They spoke my language and their example and leadership motivated me to recover, get an education and to plot a career. I would not be where I am today if it were not for them. I commend Joel and Eric for writing this indispensable book to provide you with that same type of “Shoot, Move and Communicate” advice and counsel. In ways that only a fellow veteran can, they have distilled vividly, in our beloved military dialect, the critical path items and the battle-drills, that will help you leverage your hard-earned military skills and orient you in the right direction so that you have the best possible chance of success in the private sector. This book is a must-read for all veterans regardless of whether you are just about to E.T.S. or if you have been out for several years and are looking for inspiration to make a career change. Joel and Eric give you advice that is relevant, actionable and, most importantly, repeatable. After reading this book twice, I have no doubt that if you follow their lead, if you drive on and complete the mission you will, without question, be SET UP FOR SUCCESS! ―Rich Jones, former U.S. Army Ranger, EVP, General Tax Counsel & Chief Veteran Officer, CBS Corporation Visit the "SET UP FOR SUCCESS website: https://www.setupforsuccess.info/
