 As a transitioning service member, planning ahead for civilian life can be stressful. But using resources provided by your local Fleet and Family Support Center can make your transition back to civilian life a lot easier. As part of the Transition GPS program, the Fleet and Family Support Center sponsors a two-day Boots to Business course offered by the Small Business Association. Boots to Business assists transitioning service members, retirees, and military spouses who are exploring self-employment opportunities. The course guides participants through the key steps for evaluating business concepts and the foundational knowledge required for developing a business plan. If you're interested in being your own boss, visit the Small Business Association website or contact your nearest Fleet and Family Support Center today.
