it depends on the base you are located. i was at Keesler AFB and I thought TAP was very informative - I also thought it was too long as well. More time was spent on VA benefits which is fine but again too long. More emphasis needs to be on resume writing, how to change military terms to civilian terms.

If the TAP program actually had businesses that would hire individuals immediately after separation that would be helpful. I went to all the job fairs the resume writing courses and classes. I finally decided that I was not going to get a job because I was not civilian smart.

Civilian smart is long term. I have been retired military active duty and I am still behind the civilian smart curve in many areas.
TAP in my opinion is a starting point in a SMs transition. In reality, veteran status is a life changer and getting short, ETS , I remember I had big dreams...things did not work out the way I envisioned or planned, because maybe i was blinded by my own dreams and the plan only got me so far.
This I remember...I have to eat or die trying. That was and is still my reality.

I think there should be a class for people that want to be there and learn and a seperate class for people that just need a signature in a box in their checkout sheet

As a VA Benefits Advisor, I couldn't agree with you more. Those few in the back of the room that are there to disrupt, should be separated out.
