The Navy recognizes that moving every few years creates career challenges for

military spouses, especially when stationed overseas or in remote areas. Our

Family Employment Readiness Program (FERP) offers family members a variety

of resources to tackle those challenges. Workshops have been created to help

you plan a career, launch a job search, write the resume, learn interview tech-

niques, find information on federal employment, conduct self-assessments, setgoals and even take vocational tests. FERP also offers computer tutorial pro-

grams to help you build technical skills.

The goal of FERP is to help you learn how to get a job and maintain a career you

enjoy, as a military family member. Let FERP help you today.

If you don't live near a Fleet and Family Support Center, many services, such as

coaching and resume reviews, can be done via the phone or email.

For more information, please call us at: 817-782-5287, to speak to any one of our

employment specialists

about the credit scoring sys-

tem much less their credit

buy a home, take out a loan

out or make a major pur-

of our service members and

their spouses be aware of

their score and where they

TAP

Transition Goals Plans Success,

known simply as Transition GPS, re-

places the 20-year-old Transition

Assistance Program, or TAP. In a

sweeping overhaul of the 20-year-old

TAP, as part of the VOW to Hire He-

roes Act passed in 2011, Transition

GPS takes military members through

a week-long class, compared to the

original TAPs mandatory two to four

hours of separation counseling.

The Transition Assistance Program

has been redesigned into a compre-

hensive, mandatory program that

includes pre-separation counseling, a

military to civilian skills review, a VA

benefits briefing and application sign-

up, financial planning support, job

search skills building, and individual

transition plan preparation

Those who are separating from the

military must prepare a year in ad-

vance, for retirees preparations for

Transition GPS must begin two years

in advance. In order to attend theservice members Command Career

Counselor must be contacted.

To Military Spouses - Thank You For All You Do

May is Military Spouse Appreciation Month. This month acknowledges the sig-

nificant contributions, support, and sacrifices of the spouses of our Military men

and women. Since 1984, we've take time to celebrate the men and women that

have supported their military spouses through deployments, drill weekends,

cross-country and across-the-world moves, recruiting events, training exercises,

and more, all while you kept the home fires burning. Your active duty spouse

volunteers to put their uniform on every morning to serve our country. In a very

real way, you volunteer to accept all that goes along with that.
