(a) Key Touch Points.

(1) Key touch points of the MLC TAP are reflected in the individual Military Service's plans and will include, at a minimum:

(i) First permanent duty station for AC personnel or first home station for RC personnel during initial drilling weekends;

(ii) Reenlistment;

(iii) Promotion;

(iv) Deployment and redeployment or mobilization or activation; demobilization or deactivation;

(v) Change of duty station;

(vi) Major life events (e.g., change in family status, change in Military Occupational Specialty, Navy Rating or Air Force Specialty Code); and

(vii) Retirement, separation or release from active duty.

(2) Transition GPS services may be made available to ineligible RC members during the MLC TAP as resources and capacity allow.

(b) MLC TAP Timeline.

(1) The MLC TAP begins at the first permanent duty station or home station, continues throughout the military career of an eligible Service member, and culminates at Capstone. It includes the development of the IDP. Throughout the MLC TAP, Service members will be trained, educated, and postured to become career-ready upon separation from military service by completing the Transition GPS curriculum to meet the CRS. On commencing the transition process, the IDP will migrate into the ITP. The MLC TAP will include a Capstone.

(2) Before participating in Pre-separation or Transition Counseling, eligible Service members will complete a standardized individual assessment tool, as determined by TVPO or the Military Departments, to identify personal interests and leanings that will enable informed decision-making regarding career selection.

(3) Before participating in the Transition GPS Core Curricula, eligible Service members will complete a standardized individual assessment tool, selected by the Military Departments or TVPO, to assess aptitudes, interests, strengths, or skills used to inform a Service member's decisions about selecting higher education and career technical training toward a desired future career field.

(4) Eligible RC component Service members, on completion of two or more mobilizations, must have a relevant standardized individual assessment.
