Life After Military Service: The Dark Side Of Coming Back Home. Which home?

The source is an excerpt from a mixed-methods research brief titled "Life After the Military: Transition Risks, Emotional Injury, and Civilian Integration," dated November 10, 2025, which focuses on the challenges veterans face when separating from military service. The study examines problems such as homelessness risk, emotional injury, underemployment, and gaps in education and credentialing caused by the transferability issues of military skills. Utilizing five theoretical frameworks, including Schlossberg Transition Theory and Social Identity Theory, the research employs a convergent mixed-methods design that integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to analyze outcomes in two cohorts of post-9/11 veterans. Key research questions address the predictors of emotional instability and the extent to which unit-level leadership actively promotes civilian education beyond official policy. Ultimately, the expected findings highlight that underemployment driven by translation gaps is a larger threat than unemployment, leading to practical recommendations for the Department of Defense, employers, and veterans themselves.
