GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THIS MESSAGE ANNOUNCES THE FY03 SENIOR LEVEL
EXECUTIVE TRANSITION SEMINAR SCHEDULED ABOARD MCB QUANTICO FROM
25-29 AUGUST 2003. INCLUDED IS THE TIMELINE, LOGISTICAL
REQUIREMENTS, AND A SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM CONCEPT.
2. IN FY02, THE CMC DIRECTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSITION
SEMINAR FOR COLONELS RETIRING AFTER 30 YEARS OF COMMISSIONED
SERVICE. A PRESENTATION FACILITATED BY THE USAA EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION WAS USED TO MEET THE BASIC REQUIREMENT. THIS SEMINAR
PROVIDED SPECIFIC TRANSITION INFORMATION FOR RETIRING OFFICERS WITH
18-24 MONTHS OF REMAINING ACTIVE DUTY. A SECOND SEMINAR,
FACILITATED BY A CONTRACTED INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL (NETWORKING BY
IMAGES), WAS DELIVERED TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC TRANSITION INFORMATION
FOR OFFICERS WITH 9-12 MONTHS OF REMAINING ACTIVE DUTY. FEEDBACK
INDICATED THE PILOT CONCEPT WAS SUCCESSFUL, HOWEVER, USAA NO LONGER
PROVIDES THIS SEMINAR.
3. THE FY03 SEMINAR DESIGN INCLUDES: (1) A CONTRACTED SERVICE
TAILORED TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC TRANSITION INFORMATION FOR OFFICERS
WITH 9-12 MONTHS OF REMAINING ACTIVE DUTY; AND (2) A SELF-PACED
WORKBOOK MAILED TO COLONELS WITH 28 YEARS OF ACTIVE DUTY. THIS BOOK
WILL SERVE AS A TOOL TO ACTIVELY PREPARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS FOR THE
SENIOR LEVEL TRANSITION SEMINAR THEY WILL ATTEND THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
IT IS ALSO HIGHLY ENCOURAGED THAT THE COLONELS WITH 28 YEARS OF
ACTIVE DUTY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE TRANSITON CLASSES
OFFERED AT INSTALLATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DOD.
4. COLONELS RETIRING IN CY 2004 WITH 30 YEARS COMMISSIONED
SERVICE ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE 25-29 AUG 03 SEMINAR. SPOUSES ARE
ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND. THIS SEMINAR MEETS THE REQUIREMENT FOR TAP
COURSE ATTENDANCE PER REF A.

SPOUSES. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUESTED VIA EMAIL AT
