For some leavers, particularly those with specific trades and qualifications, the move from the forces to civilian life might be straightforward. For example, a military chef, clerk or mechanic may decide to go straight into a kitchen, office or garage. For others, they may consider the other skills they have acquired during the their time in the armed forces and apply them to another area of work.
