Transition Assistance

 

Sooner or later all service members will transition from military life to civilian life; i.e., retire or separate. It is important for every service member separating or retiring from the military to take full advantage of the services offered through Transition Assistance. At least 90 days prior to retirement or separation every service member must attend a mandatory pre-separation counseling session. Without this briefing on the DD Form 2648, the separation or retirement process cannot be completed.
