CIVVY is written by veterans, for veterans, and some of the best stories come from people who’ve actually lived them. A second career nobody saw coming. A business you built from nothing. A sport, a skill, a project, a complete change of direction – the kind of thing other people who’ve made the jump would want to read about.
We’re not after your service record or a list of postings. We want what came after, or the part of the story most people never get to hear.
If that sounds like you, or someone you served with, get in touch at contact@civvymagazine.co.uk. Tell us roughly what the story is and we’ll take it from there.
