Vocational identity may play a critical role in veterans' successful resocialization into civilian life, yet suggestions regarding career counseling for veterans (e.g., Clemens & Milsom, 2008; Rausch, 2014; Simpson & Armstrong, 2009) contain limited discussion of vocational identity. Understanding how vocational identity is influenced and/or its possible role in veterans' work transitions may facilitate developing supportive services. This qualitative study used narrative inquiry and consensual qualitative research to explore the vocational identity of Post 9/11 veterans. Exploration of vocational identity among veterans in the civilian workforce offers insight into military influences through the voices of veterans interviewed (N = 12). Based on participants' retrospective reflective narrative of past and present experiences, this study's research questions were: (a) How is vocational identity among veterans, different or similar pre and post military? (b) How does the military influence vocational identity among veterans? (c) What factors influence the current vocational identity of a select number of veterans working in civilian occupations? Findings indicated that there are many similarities among participants' vocational identity pre-military. In addition, participants actively compared their civilian and military work and indicated that the military influenced their current vocational identity. Results indicated that military's influence on beliefs/values extended post-military and that there is a connection between self-perception and work. Results regarding beliefs/values suggest participants currently desired work that is meaningful, values coworker relationships, and has similar structure/expectations for self and others, as in the military. Lack of alignment between beliefs/values and work appeared to negatively affect respondents' sense of vocational identity. This study was completed prior to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
