Rewrite for clarity and accuracy to convey the meaning of the topic: The biggest transition from military to civilian employment is culture shock. At my first job out of the military, I was surprised at the open sexual and racial harassment that took place in the civilian workplace. After a short stint at that job, I looked for civil jobs owned by military veterans or affiliated with the Department of Defense (DoD) so I could work in a more structured environment that I was accustomed to.
