What is the Transition Assistance Management Program (TAMP)?
The Transition Assistance Management Program (TAMP) provides career/employment assistance, vocational guidance, and transition information to separating Marines and their family members. The tools and information provided enable all separating Marines and their family members to make a successful transition from military to civilian life. Separating Marines are counseled and advised of the availability of these programs and their responsibility for attending prior to leaving the military.
Where can I find transition services?
Transition services and resources are provided in the Marine and Family Services Branch at each major installation.
Who is eligible?
