Coles After the Uniform: Veterans Reentering Civilian Life at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The system designed to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life is a systemic failure. An investigation into the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) reveals a bureaucracy built not for veteran well-being, but to solve a political problem, measuring success by attendance rosters rather than long-term stability. Veterans are taught how to tie a Windsor knot while the profound sociological shock of leaving a 'total institution' is completely ignored. This book exposes the illusion of the official transition process, from flawed 'skills translators' that lead to underemployment to the perverse incentives of the VA disability system that can financially reward a veteran for remaining sick. It uncovers why the default diagnosis of PTSD often misidentifies a natural, predictable crisis of identity and grief for a tribe lost. Drawing on psychology, sociology, and the real-world stories of veterans who forged their own path, After the Uniform provides a new blueprint. It's a guide to navigating the 'Stockdale Paradox,' authoring a redemptive life story, and finding a new mission. This is the manual the military fails to provide.
