Create Your Own Individual Transition Plan
A carefully thought out Individual Transition Plan (ITP) is your game plan for a successful
transition to civilian life-it is not an official form, but something you create by yourself, for
yourself. Your Transition Assistance Office will give you a head start with your DD Form 2648 or
2648-1 Pre-Separation Counseling Checklist which can serve as an outline for your ITP. On this
checklist, you indicate the benefits and services for which you want counseling. You then are
referred to subject experts who will answer your questions. Your Transition Assistance Office will
furnish additional information and emphasize certain points for you to consider.

The ITP should identify likely actions and activities associated with your
transition. You can determine what these might be through consultation with your
Transition/ACAP or Command Career Counselor and using your Preseparation Counseling
Checklist.
Contact your Transition/ACAP Office or Command Career Counselor and make an appointment to
complete your preseparation counseling and the checklist.
If you are uncertain about your future plans, now is the time to obtain all the assistance
and information you need. Professional guidance and counseling are available at your
Transition Office, as are workshops, publications, information resources, automated resources, and
government programs. Take advantage of each one that pertains to your unique
situation. It is your Individual Transition Plan: It is your responsibility and your
life.
