What the official page lists
- JBSA's page lists contacts for three locations: JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, JBSA-Lackland and JBSA-Randolph. [JBSA TAP page]
- The page says TAP is mandatory for service members separating or retiring, and that Individualized Initial Counseling and Pre-Separation Counseling must each start no later than 365 days before the transition date. Some TAP classes may be listed at tapevents.mil. [JBSA TAP page]
- For local SkillBridge options, the page says to visit the DoD SkillBridge site and search "San Antonio" in the keyword field. To take part, service members must expect to be honorably discharged or discharged under honorable conditions and released from active duty within 180 calendar days of starting the program.
