Are you preparing to separate or retire from the military? The Transition Assistance Program will assist you and your family throughout this milestone. Congress now mandates that anyone separating or retiring within 18-24 months begin the TAP process. At Military & Family we will guide you through the Initial and Pre-Separation Counseling, TAP classes, Track classes and Capstone process as well as refer you to installation and community resources necessary to complete a successful transition to civilian life. For more information or for further assistance, please call 208-828-2458.
