Camouflage to Pinstripes

This practical guide offers essential advice for veterans who face mental and emotional challenges as they transition back to civilian life.

Leaving the military can be a major life change. In Camouflage to Pinstripes, Dr. Sydney M. Savion examines the psychological process veterans face as they reassimilate to civilian culture. Combining academic research and voices of experience, this book shepherds readers through the process of navigating changes in culture, identity, awareness, and self-renewal.

Camouflage to Pinstripes will help individuals make the most of their transition to civilian life by leveraging lessons learned from others. It is about much more than doffing a uniform and donning a suit; it is a gradual journey of surrendering a beloved lifestyle and profession and thriving in a new culture.
