TRS Transition Readiness Seminar

Capstone

—As an extension of the DoD mandate, the Marine Corps Transition Readiness Seminar (TRS) Capstone is a “face-to-face” meeting between unit Commanding Officers and their transitioning service members to review their Career Readiness Standards (CRSs) and overall readiness for transition.

—CRSs will be captured by the service member on DD Form 2958. Upon completion of the TRS and the CRSs (not all items will be completed during TRS), service members shall contact Henderson Hall’s CRMC to schedule an appointment for final review and signature. Once their appointment is complete with a transition counselor, they will need to schedule their Capstone meeting.

—During the Capstone meeting, the service member shall provide CRSs and supporting documentation to their CO/designee for the signed validation of a viable transition plan that also connects them with specific partner/external agencies that will assist in a successful transition from military to civilian life.
