About

Crushing Transition turns the complex process of exiting the military into clear, impactful systems. It simplifies career and lifestyle design concepts for veterans into concise actionable steps, making them easier to understand, apply, and execute in everyday life.  

Founded in 2020 by Bernard Edwards, Crushing Transition emerged from his frustration with the inefficiency and noise in the traditional military transition programs and veteran service organizations. He set out to create a leaner, actionable approach for veterans to prepare for civilian life. What began as a personal experiment quickly evolved into a movement, resonating with veterans seeking clarity in an increasingly noisy world.  

At its core, Crushing Transition combines career and lifestyle design philosophies into practical systems. Its purpose is to empower veterans to take ownership of their next chapters in life.
