CAREER TRANSITION OFFICE
Transition assistance services provide separating/retiring service members and their families with the skills, tools and self-confidence necessary to successfully re-enter into the civilian work force and/or seamless transition from the Active Component (AC/RC) that encourages a lifetime of Navy service.
The Career Transition Office (CTO) supports the rapid and seamless transition from the Active Component (AC/RC) that encourages a lifetime of Navy service. The CTO is the central access point for PTS/ECTP approved sailors for transitioning to the Navy Reserves.
In the past, an officer who desired to join the Navy Reserve affiliated through a Navy recruiter and was required to follow the same procedure as a non-prior service applicant.
Now, officers leaving Active Duty who have been approved for resignation and have indicated an interest in the Navy Reserve will be contacted by a Transition Assistant (TA) from the Career Transition Office (CTO) prior to separation. The TA will help facilitate an officer's affiliation with a Reserve Unit at a local Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC). In addition, the TA will prepare and coordinate all affiliation paperwork including billet assignment, Reserve officer appointment/oath, sponsors, bonus payments, and answer all questions concerning the Reserves. The CTO will make your "transition" as smooth as possible by eliminating unnecessary paperwork and streamling the affiliation process.
Officers currently serving on Active Duty who desire to affiliate with the Navy Reserve, or need more information about Navy Reserve programs and opportunities, should contact the CTO at (901) 874-4192 or cto.officer@navy.mil. You can also check us out on:
