" The military gives you a title and makes you into somebody. You go from being “some guy named Zach” to being “Staff Sergeant Renfro.” However, when you crossover from military to veteran, you lose your previous identity. When you get your DD-214, “Staff Sergeant Renfro” ceases to exist, and suddenly you are “some guy named Zach” again. "
