More than a Discharge Book
Claim This Podcastby Dan Milberg
Podcast Overview
<p>Narrated by Dan Milberg (warning: Aussie accent), More than a Discharge Book is for anybody who has served or is serving in uniform. If you've done basic training in any armed forces you have been indoctrinated to work and think differently to civilians. After years in this environment, it's normal to get Joining Instructions for new postings, do Readiness Training for deployments, and wear a patch on your arm that tells people your job. On the flipside, it's abnormal to walk into the civilian environment and do things like write a resume, get phone-screened by a recruiter, or confidently talk about yourself and how you can fill a vacant job. This audiobook is designed to help anticipate discharge and plan for what's ahead.</p>

21. "Be open-minded & vulnerable to change" — Chapter 5: Part 1
This is the last chapter of the book, but we could really carry-on forever talking about "what's different when we discharge?" That's because there really isn't any cardboard cutout for discharging, everybody's experience is different. But what we can acknowledge as being standard, though, is our need to change. We all leave a military workplace for a non-military workplace; we leave the known for the unknown. Which is kind of similar to how we felt when we enlisted, it was all unknown territory. We might have had some idea of what it was going to be like, but the stories we hear and the movies we watch only scratch the surface of what it's like to spend a career in uniform. If we think about it, the mental picture we all had about the military when we enlisted is the same idea that civilians have of veterans after we discharge. It can be hard for us to remember what that picture looks like, especially after serving for a minimum of 4 years.

20. "How to talk and engage with civilians at work" — Chapter 4: Part 6
It might sound basic to discuss a topic like "how to talk with civilians", but when I initially left the military, I was stuck with a very hierarchal mindset. I was still very status oriented and was cautious with who I spoke to at work. This mindset comes from our background of respecting rank, and only speaking when spoken to. Even when we are spoken to, we keep our replies succinct, especially when addressing higher ranks. My point is, I wasn't good at talking in a professional setting. It took me a while to shed my instinct of being quiet and reserved, which was out of respect for rank. Our proclivity to be succinct, and our customary "Yes, sir; No, sir" dialogue, doesn't set us up for success in the civilian workplace. In fact, it inhibits us from building relationships with key people in the workplace.

19. "How civilian companies are structured" — Chapter 4: Part 5
In the previous chapter we touched-on the build, sell, maintain model and how all jobs fall into these 3 work areas. With this same model in-mind, all companies separate their internal teams in this way. Let’s take the analogy of a Navy ship being like a civilian company, it has different branches, and jobs within those branches. The Supply branch will have jobs like Cooks, Stores, Medics, Dental Assistants, etc. Depending on the service, branches may be termed as something different, but we get the picture. Civilian companies do something similar, and we usually learn how each company is organized after working in it for a while.
