Description: A program-of-instruction theme for an orientation series for civilian professionals who work with service members. The front page is the syllabus: sixteen lessons in the order they were published, grouped into six phases (the military system, working with service members, the consultation, challenges and resources, life situations, the civilian military attorney), with the lessons a reader has opened ticked, kept only in their browser. A lesson opens with its phase and number, sets its Executive Summary as a briefing card (Key Takeaway, Core Elements, Critical Rules, Additional Benefits, Next Steps), its questions as question-and-answer pairs and its own disclaimer as a notice, and ends with the lessons before and after it. Olive drab on field white; Oswald with PT Sans. Categories, tags and author archives are never shown or linked.
