I am currently going through the transition from military life to civilian life after spending over 20 years in the service. Despite all the training and preparation I received during my career, nothing truly prepared me for how difficult this change would be. The challenges I’ve faced inspired me to create Terminal Leave Radio, a podcast dedicated to supporting other veterans as they navigate this same journey.

Each year, around 200,000 service members leave the military, and many of them struggle with the same feelings of uncertainty and isolation that I have experienced. My goal with Terminal Leave Radio is to reach these veterans, share relatable stories, and provide proven techniques to help make their transition smoother. The funds raised will go directly toward covering the hosting fees and RSS feed costs needed to get the podcast off the ground and keep it running.

I wish I could do it all on my own, but this mission is bigger than myself. I need the military community and its supporters to come together and help me launch this podcast. Together, we can make a real difference for service members by offering them support, understanding, and practical advice as they move into civilian life. Your help will ensure that no one has to face this transition alone.
