The Intel Brief.
AI, veteran transition, and the real stuff I'm going through while figuring it out. No schedule. No fluff. Just raw field reports from someone still in it.
Because here's the other thing nobody's talking about: AI didn't just hit veterans. It hit everyone. The same broken systems that failed us in transition are failing civilians in workforce, in healthcare, in education. If you've ever felt like the rules were written by people who never had to live by them, you're in the right place.
