Amazing pointers from Deon Albury with the Fort Gregg-Adams Transition Assistance Program (TAP). He has over 4 years and has helped over 3,000 Servicemen and women transition well out of the military. Key Points:

1) Start early, probably 2-3 years out is best

2) Set the right expectations when you get out for a job or business.

3) Get financially ready

4) Start networking now

Boots in Business is rebranding to make its core programing about helping out military transition better out of the military.

In a Government Accountability Office (GAO) Report dated October 18, 2023, the GAO is showing that our military is having a lot of issues keeping up with the mandate of sending our military through the Transition Assistance Program (TAP).

This TAP program gives the military member to start thinking about how to get a job, convert their military skills to civilian life, and how to start a business.

These are big issues to our military and their family members.

Because of this, Boots in Business is recommitting our time and efforts on how to better help the military as they transition out of the military and ease their stress by giving them more tools in their kitbag for the transition.

Boots in Business will also have our real Estate and Entrepreneurship courses to help our military entrepreneurs to get started the right way and to succeed in their business.
