The driving force behind Next Step is to help current military service members and soon to be veterans gain an edge when transitioning out of the military. The name, Next Step, is a simple yet appropriate name that addresses the transitional phase of many military service members as they do in fact face the next step in their life journey outside of the military. This service is designed to assist military service member’s deal and successfully accomplish the transitional cycle after the military by addressing core entities such as career, finances, family/social, and Veterans Affairs benefits counseling. By introducing this service to the Department of Defense, our government will be aiding and assisting the success of many of its own into meaningful and positive civilian lives.
