Starting a New Pre-Separation Counseling eForm

Select Correspondence/Documentation, DoD Transition Assistance Program (DoDTAP)

You can start a new eForm only if you do not already have an in-progress eForm. You can work on only one eForm at a time. If you already have a Capstone Review or Commander’s Verification eForm and you cannot edit the outdated information on it, contact a counselor to unlock it back to the Pre-Separation Counseling phase.

To start a new form:

1. On the My Dashboard tab, click Initialize Pre-Separation Counseling. The system displays the Privacy Act Statement.
2. Click OK. The system displays the eForm on the Transition Documents tab.
   • Some fields are filled in automatically with information from your records with the DoD.
   • The form contains multiple sections, indicated by a section number and name.
   • Clicking a section's name expands it to show its fields.
3. To save the form at any time, click Save at the top or bottom right corner.
   • You must answer all required editable questions before you can sign the form.
   • Certain fields are disabled and only editable by a Transition Assistance Counselor.

What you can do

• You can edit, save, and print the in-progress eForm.
• You can close the eForm and then reopen it to add more information.

Consult your counselor if you need help filling in a field or answering a question.
