For many veterans, leaving the military is not just a career change.
It can feel like losing an identity.
In this powerful clip from The MisFitNation, Chris Norris, MSW — General Manager & Lead Facilitator, Cognitive Fitness Coach talks about the transition from military service to civilian life and the question that hits many veterans hard:
“Who am I without the uniform?”
Chris describes the silence after service as “deafening” and explains why veterans can struggle when the structure, mission, team, rank, recognition, and daily sense of purpose suddenly disappear. His advice starts with something deeper than finding the next job: reconnect with your values, understand what military service gave you, and identify how to rebuild those needs in a new chapter of life.
This conversation explores veteran transition, identity after military service, purpose, resilience, mental health, personal development, values, and rebuilding life after the military.
