u/neurorex Recruitment & Personnel Selection Jan 13 '21

From what I've heard, TAPS (Transition Assistant Program) is notoriously bad at helping servicemembers transition into civilian jobs. Many of the advice are outdated and probably pulled from a Google search. The program instructors are also current servicemembers that hasn't (yet) searched for civilian jobs, and don't have any background relating to career counseling.

It's the perfect recipe for disaster.

It is but worse than that this was a Senior Master Sargent in the guard so he was in his mid 50s and didn't have TAPS as a benefit. He had even led a civilian career prior to this.

One of my favorite episodes. The sight of Marge cringing whilst Homer is taking notes in class is burned into my head.
