Why I built the Military Transition Timeline Navigator System©

During my time in TAP I kept seeing the same problems. Key steps were unclear, deadlines were missed, and good opportunities slipped by. People often left workshops asking, “What do I do next?” I built the Military Transition Timeline Navigator System to answer that question every time. It is a free companion to TAP that provides a clear timeline and plain‑language guidance so Service Members and spouses can move forward with confidence.

What the system includes

  • A timeline from 24 months before retirement & separation through the first 365 days after.

  • 50+ cheat sheets with step-by-step instructions, links to necessary forms, top-vetted resources, and 'Insider Tips' to fast-track progress.

  • A 24/7 AI transition assistant that explains tasks in plain language, translates military experience to civilian careers, helps draft résumé and LinkedIn bullets, suggests interview wording, and directs you to the right cheat sheet for step-by-step guidance.

  • Timeline‑based email reminders to keep momentum after workshops end.

Who it serves

  • Transitioning Service Members from all branches

  • Spouses planning alongside their Service Member

  • Mentors and employers who want a simple, ready‑to‑share companion to TAP

How it stays free

The system is free for Service Members and spouses. Sponsorships and licensing help sustain the work and expand reach. If you are interested, please visit our Sponsor & Partner page to learn more.
