Veterans, military members, and first responders, your online presence is part of your professional identity, and managing social media with intentionality is essential for protecting your reputation and preparing for a successful transition, whether that transition happens by choice or by force.

In Round 86 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, Today’s episode of the Transition Drill Podcast tackles a hidden obstacle in many military and first responder transitions, your online presence. Whether you're a soldier, marine, airman, sailor, police officer, firefighter, or EMS professional, your digital reputation speaks for you before your résumé ever does.

We break it down by transition group:

🔹 Close Range Group (transitioning within a year): Learn how to audit, clean, and control your digital footprint before a recruiter does it for you.

🔹 Medium Range Group (transitioning in about 5 years): Build your digital voice now. Your social media should be an extension of your leadership résumé, not a liability.

🔹 Long Range Group (transitioning in 10+ years): Use your social platforms with purpose. Today’s habits build tomorrow’s identity. Think like a brand, lead like a professional.

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.
