Leaving the Army

Week of November 27, 2006

Thanks to the Army's Career and Alumni Program (ACAP), Soldiers have a wealth of resources from which to draw support, advice and instruction on how to prepare and conduct a successful job search as they leave the Army. Soldiers planning on retiring from military service are advised to start as early as two years in advance of the actual military retirement date, while those leaving the military before retirement should begin a year in advance. During Transition Assistance Program workshops and other ACAP classes, Soldiers learn how to sell themselves in a resume, write cover letters, prepare for job interviews, and ways to cash in on their military benefits. For more information, visit your local ACAP office.
