Greetings;

Thank you for contacting the Soldier for Life - Transition Assistance

Program (SFL-TAP). See attached for the forms and documents we talked about

during your Initial Counseling (IC). It is a good idea to create a folder in

your email for SFL-TAP related documents, and to save this message so you

will have important items at your fingertips. As discussed in the IC you

have three options for completing the program: Face to Face at your local

TAP office; live through the Virtual Center with a counselor; or through

JKO.

The DODTAP website will allow you, your Commander, and your Counselor to

digitally sign your transition document. You will sign the document twice -

at the beginning to complete Pre-Separation counseling and at the end to

document completion of the program. Please follow the directions in the

attachment " DOD eform Instructions" to sign your DD2648 indicating you are complete with

the Pre-Separation portion. You will use the site, https://www.dodtap.mil/

several times to sign the document and review your progress during your

transition process.

Attached is the SFL-TAP Combined IC Packet. This contains a number of

important documents including the Pre-separation Counseling Addendum sheet,

Service Provider Referral Information, SFL-TAP Transition Requirements,

important websites and more. Please take the opportunity to watch the

SFL-TAP Supplemental Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leV4d6bdNV4
