Although Thomas Rangle has already transitioned to his hometown, Modesto, California he was successful and strategic in how he used his time, instincts and hometown resources to plan for his exit from the military.
Thomas had a very supportive family and a few supportive ship mates, who encouraged him to think about what he was good at. When he thought about it, he recalled he was always good at working with his hands. He had a talent from envisioning how a pile of wood, metal and other materials could contribute to a project that solved a problem.
He felt that—at the right time–he could launch himself in his own business and in his hometown. He remembered that his best friend in high school, worked with his dad during summers as an apprentice HVAC (heating and Air conditioning contractor). The pay was good and work was plentiful.
