About T&ETransition and Employment
Have you just returned from deployment? Do you have a service-related injury or healthcare issue? Do you need to find a new job? Perhaps you’re about to retire from service and you’re looking for someone to show you how to get back into the swing of civilian life. The Transition Assistance and Employment Support programs within TMD Family Support Services can help you navigate transition, employment, benefits, and financial changes due to change in military to civilian status.
TRANSITION ASSISTANCE ADVISORS (TAAS)

Each TAA also provides assistance in obtaining entitlements through the TRICARE Military Health System and access to community resources.
