James, a 30-year-old veteran, learned about the SDS from his transition officer, who suggested the assessment could help him target a civilian occupation where he would be apply the skills he developed in the Army. James took the SDS online and learned his Summary Code is EIR, suggesting his interests are in Enterprising, Investigative, and Realistic occupations. While his Summary Code is relatively uncommon, meaning that he has diverse personality characteristics and traits not typically associated with one another, James’ interactive VeteranSDS report provided additional occupations based on his daydream occupations and job history. James’ report also included a transition planning checklist and link that connected military careers to civilian occupations to give him a better idea of how his military training would translate to a civilian career.
