TAP program
After a small-group discussion on identifying and overcoming the stresses of military separation or retirement, Laura Johnston talks about their group’s topic during an April 23 Transition Assistance Program in Tinker’s Airman and Family Readiness Center. Ms. Johnston is a Navy chief petty officer stationed at Fort Meade, Md., and will move to Oklahoma with her retired Navy husband in September after she retires. The TAP helps military members smooth the rough edges off the transition back into civilian life by offering resources and advice on a host of topics from job hunting, resumé writing, finances and how to reduce stress transitioning into a new life.
