Whiskey Tango FM

We’ve been handed a story about the military-to-civilian transition... one that sounds clean, seamless, and inevitable. It rarely is. 

In this first Field Notes episode, we unpack the myth of the “perfect landing,” why so many capable veterans feel lost, and how expectation quietly turns into frustration. 

If your transition hasn’t gone according to plan, you’re not broken. You’re just operating inside a narrative that doesn’t match reality.

What is Whiskey Tango FM?

Whiskey Tango FM is a veteran-led show about the military-to-civilian transition. The tradeoffs, risks, and work of figuring out who you are again as you build a deliberate life after service.

It’s about what the transition really looks like behind the curtain. Career decisions, reinvention, leadership in civilian spaces, and the stuff nobody brings up in separation briefs.
