Transition to Civilian Life
Land the cliff on your feet.
What you get
Separation and retirement planning, employment and benefits resources, and a 365-day window of continued Military OneSource access after you separate.
How we make it better
We tackle the transition cliff directly: translate your service into a civilian (and federal) résumé that lands interviews, decode the benefits, and start before you separate — because the safety net expires 365 days out.
Transition Assistance (official, free) — Military OneSource access continues for 365 days after separation. Call 800-342-9647.
