RP Members what are your thoughts on Transition Resources? How about these (7) are good resources or not?
There are a number of hidden-gem resources for separating service member provided by veteran service organizations.
In preparation for leaving active duty, I recently completed all of my pre-separation training — transition goals, plans, and success, or ‘TGPS’ Capstone — and am now in the process of meeting with different organizations to which I was referred.
Because I already had a plan and a strong support system outside the military, I thought that the course would be a waste of time. I’m glad I was wrong. Through TGPS, I learned about resources that would be useful to all my fellow sailors if not just myself.
TGPS, which used to be called the Transition Assistance Program, surprisingly exceeded my expectations. It provided a wealth of information about different avenues for accessing educational and employment benefits.
