Thank you so much for replying. I am going to start looking for a house and list mine on the market.

I also informed my CoC that I would like to stay working at the unit for as long as possible, as there is no need to go to the transition center early. My unit is absolutely wonderful and accommodating, so I will have no issues going to briefs, meetings and/or appointments.

I'm going over to the release administrator to start the process to open up the BGRS account and fill out the documents needed for and IPR.

This site provided me with answers 12 years ago prior to my joining and now I'm getting all the support on my way out. I'll keep this thread updated through the next year or so of my progress and what I've learned along the way for my final time in the forces.

Keep in mind that your unit can request you be posted to a Transition Center but the base surgeon makes a recommendation (that carries a lot of weight) and the Transition Center/group and career shop needs to ultimately support/accept your posting. It's not guaranteed simply because your unit asked. Good luck.

My unit wouldn't request it, I was requesting it. Now after all the advice through this channel and talking with my CoC I'll be there until probably the last month before release.

Nice. One of the great things about the Transition Center is that all of the services they provide are equally available to you as a member of your home unit.

If you haven't done so already I highly recommend going there, finding out which "Client Service representative" is responsible for members of your home unit, and booking an appointment with them. They're civilians (often former military) who can help guide you through schooling and other medical/release benefits you're entitled to. Some will even help you fill out the overly complicated pension package (if you're entitled to one)

The Client Service reps can also talk to you about little tips and tricks that will help benefit you that the military side can't speak to you about.

Done and Done. Thank you.
