Its imperative that all of our service members and their spouses be aware of their score and where they stand.

TAP
Transition Goals Plans Success, known simply as Transition GPS, replaces the 20-year-old Transition Assistance Program, or TAP. In a sweeping overhaul of the 20-year-old TAP, as part of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act passed in 2011, Transition GPS takes military members through a week-long class, compared to the original TAPs mandatory two to four hours of separation counseling. The Transition Assistance Program has been redesigned into a comprehensive, mandatory program that includes pre-separation counseling, a military to civilian skills review, a VA benefits briefing and application signup, financial planning support, job search skills building, and individual transition plan preparation Those who are separating from the military must prepare a year in advance, for retirees preparations for Transition GPS must begin two years in advance. In order to attend the service members Command Career Counselor must be contacted.
