About the Book

"How to Grow a Beard: A Military Transition Guide Back into Civilian Life" is primarily based on 10-year Marine Corps veteran Robert Graves' personal lessons learned during his transition, as he weaved his way back into the civilian life; but it is also the voice of every single veteran who has been let out into the wild to fend for themselves. Let out to learn the protocols of the civilian world and endure an-at times-intense battle of finding employment, a tribe, and identity. Released to reintegrate with the real world again all over again-without much guidance. This book covers topics such as reframing what sacrifice means to an individual; learning what we're worth in the civilian workplace; converting military service into civilian language for resumes and interviews; lessons on humility; integrating with friends and family again; and even lessons on swallowing your pride and allowing others to help out with our transition... because know this... transition will come faster than you may realize. As ready as you are to start your new life, you will-at some point-find yourself in many situations introduced inside this book. With veteran homelessness, unemployment, and suicide at an all-time high, it is no secret that transition can be hard and overwhelming. The intention with this book is to make your military transition as smooth as possible, by providing many of the tools collected through the lessons learned on his personal journey. Whether you are about to leave the service or have been out in the civilian trenches for a while, this book is the tool that has been created for you to transition successfully.
About the Author: Robert is a 10-year Marine Corps veteran who prides himself on living with the Marine Corps values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Growing up an athlete and an entertainer, Graves found himself with the ability to be a natural leader on the court, in the military, as well as around his peers and community. Resilience and determination are the foundations of who he is today. Believing that the greatest lessons learned are after a loss, he uses all aspects of life as tools for learning and teaching. He believes that there is a direct connection with the belief in oneself and the ability to succeed, and even though no outcome is guaranteed, he knows that the thrill is in the fight-and the fight is in the mind. The fight to succeed has become Robert's life story. With a firm belief that if there's a will-there's a way, he has accomplished many great achievements, such as authoring "How to Grow a Beard: A Military Transition Guide back into Civilian Life," which contains the cumulative lessons learned from the 6-year transition of trying to fit back into the world that he once knew, while trying to simultaneously figure out how to work in the civilian sector. The book's release caught attention of many other vets with similar stories of struggle, loss-of-identity, loss-of-hope, confusion, celebrations... and the more veterans Graves ran into with these incredible stories of their own transitions, #YearOfTheVet was born. The book, combined with the podcast that gives open floor to share their own lessons learned to the vets who've already gone down their own roads of struggle, caught the attention of the California Disabled American Veterans... and in the Summer of '17- Graves was awarded the Outstanding Veteran of the Year! "The fight isn't for my benefit anymore... I do this to pull the rest of my veteran family up with me!" Graves has earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from University of Maryland-Aldephi, Master's degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the California State University, Northridge, as well as received the Director's award and graduated with Honors from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in his studies to become a Certified Hypnotherapist. Currently he is studying for his Masters of Business for Veterans (MBV) at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business, and working to obtain his Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) certification.
