The Next Mission

Military veterans finding new purpose after service

INSIGHTS FROM THE FILM

<p>Experience the trials and triumphs of post-military transition through the stories of Helen, Sam, and Bernard—three transitioning service members who set off on a road trip across the country to discover their purpose in the civilian world. As they interview fellow veterans who’ve found fulfilling work beyond service, the team learns that the skills cultivated in the military aren’t limited to the battlefield; they can be applied to any number of exciting careers. Combat might be behind them, but a new mission emerges: the fight to build a life of purpose begins—for which their head and hearts will be their greatest weapons.</p>

Military personnel face untold challenges during service—but one of the most formidable missions is the transition back to civilian life.

Roadtrip Nation has joined forces with the USO to send three transitioning service members on a cross-country adventure to discover all that post-military life has to offer. Eager to redefine themselves in the civilian world, they’ll seek out fellow veterans who have transitioned into the workforce and gain the insights they need to forge forward. Follow the journey and see what it takes to tackle one of life’s most rewarding missions: the pursuit of a purposeful career.

Veterans have answered the call of duty—what’s their next calling? We’re sending them on the road to find it.

FUELED BY:

The USO has teamed up with Roadtrip Nation to enable veterans to share advice with each other about how to transition—and thrive—in the next chapter. With Roadtrip Nation’s “Share Your Road” tool, veterans who have found meaningful careers beyond service can share how they got to where they are today—and help other vets find their way.

Operation Roadtrip

No one can stay in the military forever. We all get out one day. It's just something that we don't think about though. When you go back to civilian life, it's different. &gt;&gt; It took me a while to overcome my depression and the realization of I'm out. &gt;&gt; When I got hurt, everything was stripped from me. It was taken away in an instant. I didn't know what I was gonna do. &gt;&gt; I feel like an alien, I feel like I'm not even from this world. &gt;&gt; What's my next step? Where's my next calling? &gt;&gt; What am I gonna do now? And be passionate about like I was passionate about the military. [MUSIC] So, we're gonna be going on a road trip. We're going from the west coast to the east coast. &gt;&gt; And we're gonna be interviewing veterans along the way. &gt;&gt; Gaining experience and knowledge about their transition to the civilian life. &gt;&gt; The hardest part about transitioning for me was becoming an individual. &gt;&gt; Instead of focusing on, you're never gonna do this again, look at all the things you can do. Your greatest weapons are right here and in here. &gt;&gt; We learned to face our fears and so use those things we learned in the military to not just live in the civilian world, but thrive. &gt;&gt; These people, they are really just down to earth, amazing people. &gt;&gt; This is for home defense, in case ISIS comes after us. &gt;&gt; [LAUGH] &gt;&gt; Setting out across the country, bonding with all the amazing veterans, it's therapeutic. &gt;&gt; I even hate categorizing it, military life, civilian life. Everyone has different roads and avenues, it's life. [MUSIC] &gt;&gt; This has been 30 days and it's been many things and I'm excited to see what the future has. I'm forever changed. [MUSIC]
