March is Red Cross Month. The American Red Cross is part of the
world's
largest humanitarian network - 97 million volunteers helping in
186
countries. In the United States, the Red Cross helps change
lives seven
days a week, 24 hours a day.
200 times a day, American Red Cross volunteers help a
family who has lost everything in a house fire or
otherdisaster.
475 times a day, the American Red Cross connects de-
ployed service members with their families.
21,000 times a day, a patient receives blood through the
American Red Cross blood program.
43,000 times a day, someone receives life-saving Ameri-
can Red Cross health, safety and preparedness training.
Long separations caused by military service create special needs
for mili-
tary families. The Red Cross provides support to active-duty,
National
Guard and Reserve, veterans and their families. They pro-vide
emer-
gency communication services, support for the sick and wounded
at mili-
tary and veterans hospitals, and assistance in obtaining
emergency fi-
nancial support. The American Red Cross is where people mobilize
to
help their neighbors - across the street, across the country and
across
the world.

TAP
Transition Goals Plans Success,
known simply as Transition GPS, re-
places the 20-year-old Transition
Assistance Program, or TAP. In a
sweeping overhaul of the 20-year-old
TAP, as part of the VOW to Hire He-
roes Act passed in 2011, Transition
GPS takes military members through
a week-long class, compared to the
original TAPs mandatory two to four
hours of separation counseling.
The Transition Assistance Program
has been redesigned into a compre-
hensive, mandatory program that
includes pre-separation counseling, a
military to civilian skills review, a VA
benefits briefing and application sign-
up, financial planning support, job
search skills building, and individual
transition plan preparation
Those who are separating from the
military must prepare a year in ad-
vance, for retirees preparations for
Transition GPS must begin two years
in advance. In order to attend theservice members Command
Career
Counselor must be contacted.
