RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN is the sixth in a series to announce new updates for 
Transition Goals, Plans, Success (GPS) and provides updated guidance to 
reserve component (RC) Sailors and the active and reserve commanders they 
support.  References (a) through (e) provide previous guidance.

2.  The Veterans Opportunity to Work Act of 2011 mandates Transition GPS 
attendance for all personnel released from title 10 active-duty periods of 
180 days or more.  Department of Defense policy requires eligible personnel, 
including qualifying RC personnel, to:
    a.  Receive pre-separation counseling and complete the Transition 
Assistance Program (TAP) Checklist for Deactivating/Demobilizing National 
Guard and Reserve Service Members (DD Form 2648-1).
    b.  Attend the Department of Labor Employment Workshop (DOLEW);
    c.  Attend Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits briefings;
    d.  Complete the Service Member*s Individual Transition Plan Checklist

Transition GPS requirements will be completed prior to the end date on RC 
Sailor mobilization/active-duty for special work (ADSW)/active-duty for 
training (ADT) orders of 180 days or more.  RC personnel will complete 
Transition GPS requirements utilizing the services available from their Navy 
Reserve Activity (NRA)/Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC), Navy 
Mobilization Processing Site (NMPS), and supported command as indicated

duty orders the RC Sailor is completing.  Orders are categorized as either 
mobilization, outside continental United States (OCONUS) ADSW, continental 
United States (CONUS) ADSW, or ADT.  ADSW orders to Hawaii or Alaska will 
follow CONUS ADSW guidance.  A standard operating procedure with detailed 
guidance and instructions to ensure Transition GPS compliance can be found at
