WORK-LIFE TRANSITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Coast Guard Active-Duty and Reserve members and their spouses transitioning back to civilian life and Retirees and/or caregivers are highly encouraged to check-out and take full advantage of the TRANSITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM at: https://tapevents.mil/ Every year, approximately 200,000 men and women leave U.S. military service and return to life as civilians, a process known as the military to civilian transition. The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) provides information, tools, and training to ensure Service members, their spouses and/or caregivers are prepared for the next step in civilian life. The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is the result of an interagency partnership between the Departments of Defense (DoD), Labor (DOL), Veterans Affairs (VA), Education (ED), Homeland Security (DHS), Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in conjunction with the Military Departments who execute TAP. The TAP curriculum is an outcome-based curriculum that transforms the way the military prepares Service members for transition back to civilian life. The curriculum is designed to provide service members with the resources, tools, services, and skill-building training needed to meet Career Readiness Standards (CRS). Shortly before departing the military, Service members demonstrate achievement of these standards to their command through a verification process called Capstone. This process includes an opportunity to connect Service members who may need additional assistance to agency partners who provide them with additional support. U.S. COAST GUARD RETIREE INFORMATION Military to civilian transition occurs within a complex and dynamic network of relationships, programs, services, and benefits, which includes transition planning and assistance efforts by individual Service branches, the interagency TAP partnership, and community resources delivered through local government, private industry, and nonprofit organizations. 92 SPRING 2024 THE LONG BLUE LINE
NEW USCG RETIREE MENTORING & TRANSITION ASSISTANCE NETWORK! RADM Jeff Hathaway, USCG (Ret.) CG National Retiree Council Co-Chair hathaway.cgnrc@aol.com Your USCG National Retiree Council is sponsoring this program to maintain a searchable database for our retiree community (and those soon to retire) to both request and offer personal mentoring and advice in a variety of areas. Thinking about relocating to a particular geographic area but would like insights from those that are living there? Find some help here. Wondering how to start a small business? You can find a mentor here. We are using a software service called Member Planet to host our registration process and database. It is both secure, easy to use and offers great flexibility. Once submitted, your registration is automatically forwarded to Mr. Bob Hinds, USCG Retiree Services Program Manager. He validates your eligibility then grants access to the database. We hope that the USCG retiree community finds this program useful. Prior pilot programs showed a demand for such a program but lacked an easily accessible database maintained in the public domain. VISIT http://www.uscgretireenetwork.org/ TO LEARN MORE AND ENROLL! A big thank you to our Capital Area Retiree Council for originally promoting a retiree mentoring program and sponsoring the first "proof of concept" pilot program!
