Congratulations retired CMSAF JoAnne (Jo) Bass! Thank you, for your Service and Commitment to US. I appreciate your transparency during this transition. The uncertainty of “what next?” The mental and emotional changes we experience. Transitioning from the United States Air Force is a huge change. Many of us, even when highly successful in our military careers, struggle with mourning the loss of “what was” while discovering our “what next.” The truth is, our life as we know it will forever be changed. Our new normal may not be exactly as we envisioned, for some of us it’s even better than expected. I appreciate all the resources that contributed to my success along the way: DoD Transition Assistance Peogram, Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW, Joint Base Andrews Military and Family Readiness Center, ACT NOW Education, American Corporate Partners (ACP), Women Veterans Interactive Foundation, Veterati, IVMFBunkerLabs, Final Salute Inc., and Center for Women Veterans, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
