For me it was tough, I was invalided out of the Royal Navy and went through years of ... well lets just say I was a little down and leave it at that
I eventualy managed to get a job as Computer Science Lecturer teaching Graduate below and above software engineering, graphics, hardware design and apps progamming.
It was a brave new world in the mid eighties and I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.
Now I am retired and build models... But I still dream about being in the RN and wake up thinking WTF happend.
Your military sevice and mindset never leave yoo and yoo just have to to adapt.
Remember Civvys need a cuddle before they acquiesce to your commands erm decisions
At least that's what my wife tells me
