“It’s reassuring that there is life after 32 years with the military and that with hard work and endurance anything is possible. With all the support I have already received, and the support that I know is available to me, I feel confident about my future.”

“The possibility to transfer our military experience into entrepreneurship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“My impending retirement from Her Majesty’s Canadian Forces and a fresh life and career in the civilian world is now met with excitement and not the fear of the unknown.”
