Veterans and first responders, managing all aspects of your overall health will help reduce the anxiety of leaving the uniform behind

In Round 84 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, health and wellness are the backbone of a successful transition from service. For veterans and first responders, the shift into civilian life often removes the structure and rhythm they’ve relied on. Without intentional routines and personal systems in place, many stumble at the exact moment they need strength, clarity, and control the most.

This episode delivers actionable strategies tailored for where you are in your career, whether you're preparing now, later, or far down the road. Learn how to take ownership of your physical, mental, and emotional health before the transition clock starts ticking.

• Close Range Group (transitioning within 0–12 months): Build a routine that anchors you. A daily practice focused on body, breath, and mindset gives you portable stability in the middle of uncertainty.
• Medium Range Group (transitioning in ~5 years): Audit your health and wellness annually. This yearly checkup prepares you for life after service and reinforces your current leadership capacity.
• Long Range Group (transitioning in 10+ years): Build your bounce-back strategy. Developing resilience habits today helps you perform better now and withstand career setbacks down the line.

This is more than wellness. It is strategic readiness for military veterans, law enforcement professionals, firefighters, EMTs, and all who serve.

The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.
