Introduction

My name is Jason Alba, professionally unemployed – make that, entreprenuer. I have never served in the military but I have lived overseas (for 2 years I was in Mexico with no visits home, no family, and a job to do). I know that living overseas for a while puts you out of touch – or at least you feel out of touch (I was also lived on an Island south of Cuba for 4 years – but that was with my family!).

While I don’t think I’ll ever be able to serve in the military, I believe that I can serve my country by contributing to free enterprise. Developing the economy and business should strengthen our country and provide jobs for those that come back.

TransitioningHome.com is a dedicated to helping accumulate good information for deployed soldiers that are on their way home. Of course, it will be an interesting read to anyone that is overseas for a period and wondering what is waiting for them when they get back.

This blog will cover things like starting your own business, networking, cool sites that you should know about, military blogs to keep track of, and of course job opportunities that aren’t listed anywhere else (except JibberJobber.com).

You can visit this blog regularly, link back to it if you are a blogger, or subscribe to the e-mail feed to get posts right in your mailbox.
