July 20 - August 10, 2015 11 Working World l WorkingWorld.com the only service member to ever have been susceptible to the fear of life without the military, and he recognized this, thus decided he was going to do something, and that he could change and positively impact his fellow service members, just as he did as a combat medic. David said, "I know how I felt, I was in a bad place, and no veteran should ever have to feel like that." In 2012, David took the life lessons he had learned, the motivation he had to impact the life of someone else, and founded Combat Veterans to Careers. Since he has been able to touch the lives of others and their families who are making the transition from the military life to the civilian life. Acculturation into the civilian world can be demanding, difficult, and sometimes disheartening, which can deplete the motivation to excel in a way unique to veterans, and discourage veterans, leading to them not being able to adapt, and even flourish, in their new civilian life, but Combat Veterans to Careers has committed themselves to providing extensive case management in educational and employment readiness services, working to address the problem of access to the essential foundations of modern living, and providing the 360 degrees of support necessary for the enhancement of the quality of life for the underprivileged and economically disadvantaged population of military combat veterans across the country.
