Dr. Adam Fullerton, AIUS Doctoral Program Chair for Research & Doctoral Studies and a Major in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, is the guest editor of this special issue of the AIUS Journal.

“As a veteran myself, it has been a privilege to witness the outstanding scholarship emerging from the American InterContinental University System,” said Dr. Fullerton. “This issue contains original research from within the AIU System, organized around the military lifecycle, examining experiences from entry into service, through active military careers, the transition to civilian life, and ultimately life after service.”

The articles in this issue include insights into the start of a servicemember’s experience, time in service, the transition to civilian life, and life after military service.
