Throughout this website, you will find some commonly used acronyms. All veterans know there are some acronyms that don’t need a definition. These acronyms may or may not be defined in each article in which they are used. However, we here at The Military Transition are fully aware that our audience may not be totally made of veterans and there are some veterans that hadn’t been in long enough to know many of these acronyms off the top of their head. This page is your one-stop-shop for translation.
This page will be continuously updated as new acronyms are used.
