Career Tracks Accessing Higher Education Career Technical Training Entrepreneurship What is the drop-out rate for Higher Ed? The completion rate for veterans of 51.7% is lower than the four-year graduation rate for younger, non-veteran peers, which was 59% in 2011 Why? No one’s on your back. All your structure goes away. Maybe I should get a year of education before I get out. DANTES. I didn’t plan for money. E-5 BAH based on zip code. Where are you going to live for $800? What about utilities and insurance ….

Individual Transition Plan (ITP) Identifies important transition-related issues and activities Helps Sailors break the transition challenge into manageable tasks and track their progress It’s a living document. Go through ITP highlighting the gray box on page 35. Explain that it is their job to explain this box. This is for the TSM, not them. They need to understand the importance of it. Talk about CRC standards on pg. 36 Break down ITP into manageable chunks. They should go through each section and fill in EACH block. No NA. Turn to pg. 63 – go over Milestones including when to apply for VA benefits. Explain warm handover using pg. 67 So before we get into the law, let’s see what you all know by looking at TSM categories and the time lines associated with them.
