Military veterans prepare for the next mission in their careers
Written by veterans who have successfully made the transition, Down Range offers career planning guidance to U.S. military veterans coming off active duty.

This simple and effective planning process has been taught to more than 1 million business executives in companies all over the world.
Explains how to build an adaptable long–range career plan called a Career High Definition Destination (HDD), across a spectrum of seven key areas
Shows how business differs from military service, how to identify the resources needed to achieve the Career HDD, and how to develop strategic and tactical courses of action that drive you to executing towards your Career HDD on a consistent basis
Author James Murphy is founder of Afterburner Inc. and is currently working with the U.S. Army at the highest levels to develop a transition program for the estimated 1.5 million veterans who will transition from active duty service to civilian careers by the year 2020
This book challenges veterans to change their mind–set and understand just how different the "wilderness" of civilian employment is from military experience. Down Range provides an appreciation for what′s important to a business, helping you to become a valuable asset throughout your career.
