As a military veteran or first responder, you need to be planning and implementing strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. In this Flashback Friday episode of the Transition Drill Podcast, we recap Episode 56 with Jose Rodriguez. Jose grew up knowing he was going to be a cop. He graduated high school early and began working as a volunteer with the local fire department. At that time the police officers were also firefighters and Jose saw this as a way to get his foot in the door. After almost 2 years as a volunteer and eventually a reserve officer, he was hired as a full-time police officer in 1998 – he was 19 years old at the time. In 2011 he learned of a medical condition which forced his medical Retirement in 2012. With no plan for a transition he put together a resume and started sending it out. Today he is an HR Director. Most important, as much as he misses being a cop, he enjoys his life more today. Since being forced into a medical retirement he’s been able to spend more quality time with his family and his passion, working on cars.
