Is there a retirement briefing for Soldiers who are getting ready to retire from the M-day side of the National Guard?

There should be. Get with your State retirement NCO. In TN they do 1 a quarter.

I had a pre-retirement briefing as an M-day because of my 20 year letter, but I eventually retired as AGR.

So according to this PAO release, there's no mention about being AGR and only AGR's get retirement briefings. http://www.il.ngb.army.mil/pao/newsrelease.aspx?id=630

Usually there's a Transition Specialist and/or Retirement Services Specialist at the Soldier Support Center.

I would hope so. In RI we have a very good program including a briefing and final out-processing. We even have a transition assistance team that keeps us in the loop on everything from VA and retirement benefit changes to reunions and obituaries.
