Discussion 2- Reflection
As you reflect on all you have learned about military culture in this course, you should have gained a clearer understanding of ways individuals in your profession interact with and support military personnel and their families. If you decide to follow a career path that involves working with military personnel, what might your job expectations be? What challenges and opportunities might you encounter in such a career? How might your career effect social change?
Post a summary of how your understanding of military culture expanded. Describe the career path or professional role you might choose in working with military personnel and their families. Explain how you can contribute to social change in that career path or role.
