The Junior Officers’ Resettlement Guide

The Junior Officers’ Resettlement Guide was first written in July 2012 when Matt and I left the Royal Marines. We wanted to create some handover notes that would help Lieutenants/Captains leave the UK Military and transition into a successful second career. We have received some very positive feedback since then so thought it might be helpful to provide an update.

Please feel free to distribute this link (rather than the guide) to anyone you feel would benefit from our advice. Although the information in the guide is targeted at Junior Officers, the lessons are applicable across the ranks.
