<p>The NAAFI Break podcast highlights the transition from the military into second career success. The measure of success is subjective and different for everyone, although it is common to define it in many cases as achieving fulfilment by finding a new purpose. Within the Veterans Community there are many examples of ‘giving back’ and when someone leaves the Military and is successful a strong desire to ‘send the elevator down for the next person’ . Mark ‘Benny’ Hill is one of those people, driven to help, to continue to serve others and he has succeeded in negotiating his own transition, to be able to be in a position to continue serving with a purpose.<br/><br/>Another insightful and honest conversation with Mark that I am grateful to have had.<br/><br/>Are you looking for help with your transition ? Get in touch! Or share to others who may need help or to understand the Military to Veterans transition.</p>
