Beyond the Military: A Leader’s Handbook for Warrior Reintegration
After years of dedicated service, leaving might be the hardest mission for any military leader. If you’re standing at the threshold of transition, fear and uncertainty are unspoken obstacles that can erode your confidence and excitement for what comes next. If you’ve already transitioned, you might still be struggling to find your place in society. No matter what you’re feeling or where you are in this process, Jason Roncoroni and Dr. Shauna Springer want to partner with you on the journey for what happens next.
Jason, an executive coach, and Doc Springer, a licensed psychologist, have combined their expertise and decades of experience to create the most comprehensive guide available for military leaders seeking happiness and fulfillment in life after the military.
Beyond the Military applies the military decision-making process to help you confidently navigate transition. This handbook introduces an Integrative Program of Transition to address the critical aspects of transition that nobody else is talking about: optimizing whole health and wellness, social reintegration, cultural assimilation, economic stability, long-term professional development, and close relationship and family adjustment. With Jason as your coach and Doc Springer as your relationship consultant, you’ll walk through over 30 exercises designed to help you unleash your full potential outside the uniform.

The content contained within this handbook unlocks the true meaning of sacrifice, the value of service, and importantly, describes in detail the path home. Bravo Zulu Jason and Shauna.

Despite having served two tours in the Balkans, two tours in Iraq, and two tours in Afghanistan, retiring from the Army was perhaps the most stressful period in my life. I would have given anything for a roadmap to help with advice and expectations. BEYOND THE MILITARY will make a profound difference in the lives of countless thousands of service members embarking on their next chapter in life. Well done and thank you Jason and Shauna!

Beyond the Military should be read by every transitioning service member and veteran. It is also required reading for the spouses, parents, and caregivers for veterans, as well as government, corporate, and social sector employers and employees who serve veterans.
