"Most military transition programs are focused on education and not job placement, and there is limited evidence that federally-funded employment transition programs are actually effective. The baseline program--TAP--is fair but not great for servicemembers in its current form...The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found in 2023 that the requirement to attend TAP classes was waived for more 50 percent of all separating individuals, and nearly 25 percent of that cohort were considered at risk for transition problems."Nicholas Weising for The MOC

New in The MOC from Eli Glickman“Congress should take the lead on investigating the utility of a nuclear-armed TLAM. Each year’s National Defense Authorization Act typically includes Committee Reports—prepared by the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, respectively—in which members of Congress can include directive items of special interest which direct defense officials to take certain actions. In this year’s Committee Reports, members of Congress should include items of special interest directing the relevant Department of Defense and National Nuclear Security Administration authorities to determine whether a nuclear-armed TLAM is technically feasible in the near-term and capable of filling existing deterrence requirements.”https://lnkd.in/ev2R8hqi
