Military-connected students may be still serving or transitioning to civilian life, where entering academia can be a disorientating time. This is the point at which the disciplined, structured, and collective environment of the Canadian Armed Forces dissipates.  

With this newfound independence, military-connected learners may face challenges without the benefit of a tailored framework that addresses the actual and forecasted needs of this unique group.   

On operations, when soldiers, sailors, aviators, or operators transition through a release point, elements separate and conduct the pre-arranged plan. This is a dangerous period.  

Team members always support the release point on overwatch, and at Release Point Education, I believe the movement to education should be supported in the same manner.
