TAP WORKSHOP & TRACKS

2023 Transition Workshop Schedule

2024 Transition Workshop Schedule

The 3-day TAP Workshop is the outcome-based, modular curriculum with standardized learning objectives. The TAP core curriculum helps service members meet the Career Readiness Standards (CRS) and is mandatory—no conflicting appointments are to be scheduled. Failure to meet attendance and CRS requirements may result in re-taking the 3-day TAP workshop.

Prior to TAP, use your CAC to register for an e-Benefits account at www.ebenefits.va.gov.  Take the additional step of registering for a DS Logon username and password to ensure post-transition access; you’ll use this DS Logon and Password for multiple systems both pre- and post-transition. Note: eBenefits registration is a CRS for all transitioning service members.

AIR FORCE: You’ll be scheduled for the TAP Workshop and appropriate 2-day track during your Initial Counseling with an MFSC Transition Counselor.

NAVY: You’ll be scheduled for the TAP Workshop and appropriate 2-day track during your Initial Counseling with your Command Career Counselor.   

Spouses are highly encouraged to attend TAP and all other workshops, and may attend with or without their service member.  Spouses can register when their service member registers during Initial Counseling or through an MFSC Transition Counselor by calling 474-1999 or emailing MFSCHawaii@navy.mil.

MFSC also offers a quarterly, one-day, Spouse Transition Seminar. During this workshop, transitioning spouses will become more prepared for their family’s future after the military. Attendees will receive information in one day that is similar to the information service members receive in their TAP workshop to assist the transitioning family with planning, communication and cohesion. Included will be information on resiliency, financial planning, employment, VA Benefits, healthcare/Tricare, education, and relocation. Community and national resources for transitioning spouses will also be shared.

Registration required: Spouses can self-register for 2-day tracks and the Spouse Transition Seminar on our MFSC Class Schedule
