Pre-separation Counseling Briefing Every Tues, 1400
The Pre-separation Counseling briefing is the first step to separating or retiring from the military. This briefing is mandatory and a prerequisite to all other transition-related briefings such as TAP. During this briefing you will learn about all the benefits and services available to you when you leave the military. Documentation of this briefing is accomplished through the completion of the DD Form 2648. If you are a year from separation or two years from retirement, start the transition process now. The class is held every Tuesday at 2:00 pm at the Airman & Family Readiness Center, Bldg. T-65. Call the A&FRC at 567-3920 to sign up. For more information, call 567-3920 or email marketing@schriever.af.mil.

Medical Records Review for VA Disability Claim Brief
If you are 180 days from separation or retirement, now is the time to start your disability claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The initial medical records review will be provided by the Disabled American Veterans. If you are leaving the military and have service related medical issues, it would be in your best interest to start the process for a disability claim. Depending on the extent of your disability, you may be eligible for monthly monetary compensation, veteran’s preference into federal service, and many other benefits depending on the state you decide to settle in. The records reviews are by appointment only, so call early. Call the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 567-3920 to find out when the next scheduled brief will be held.
