WELCOME TO YOUR TRANSITION
The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is a multiple step process.
IAW with Public Law, Individualized Initial Counseling (IC) & Preseparation Counseling must be completed NLT 365 days prior to DOS.
Service members within 24 months of their anticipated retirement date or 14-18 months of their separation date are encouraged to schedule their one-on-one Initial Counseling appointment.
In the event of an unanticipated separation or retirement, or a member of the Reserve Component is demobilized with less than 365 days, TAP must begin as soon as possible within the remaining period of service.
