"I built the first version of this for my own transition after more than 20 years in the Air Force. The tools I found didn't know what an OPR was, what BAH is worth to a civilian employer, or why a clearance changes the negotiation."

How it works

TAP gives you a week. Your transition takes two years.

T2T follows the whole thing, from 18 months before separation to 90 days into your first civilian job. Here's what you use at each stage.

  1. 1

    18 to 12 months out

    Plan

    A dated countdown built from your separation date: VA claim, TRICARE, TSP, terminal leave, and clearance milestones.

    Separation Timeline · VA claim · SF-86 prep

  2. 2

    12 to 6 months out

    Translate

    Turn OPRs and EPRs into civilian results once, then reuse them in every resume and interview.

    Achievements Library · Resume builder · LinkedIn · Federal resume

  3. 3

    6 months to separation

    Search

    Find roles that fit your clearance, location, and level, and know the company before you talk to them.

  4. 4

    The offer

    Negotiate

    Compare the offer to your real military package and get a counter email you can send the same day.
