A podcast exploring the career transition experiences of ex-SAF personnel. Through their sharing, we hope to help other SAF servicemen and women make more successful and sustainable career transitions.
"Made a switch
From the army
Found a job
So happy
But I miss
My time in army
With my rifle and my buddy and me
Oh I know
I have to move on
Future's bright
For all to see
Purple light
It's no sunset for me
with my rifle and my buddy and me"
