Capstone & Commander's Verification

Service Members will be required to present their completed Career Readiness Standards (CRS) to a transition staff member before the Commander’s Verification phase. The CRS are deliverables demonstrating if the Service Member is prepared to pursue personal post-transition goals. A transition staff member will complete an in-depth review of the Service Members’ eForm, Individual Transition Plan (ITP), and all required CRS documents.

All transitioning Service Members must complete the following CRS in preparation for their Capstone Review:

• Financial Planning Snapshot
• Military Occupational Crosswalk (MOC) Gap Analysis Worksheet
• VA.gov registration
• Continuum of Military Service Opportunity via the Reserve Opportunities and Obligation Brief (ROOB) (not required for Retirees)

Depending on the Service Members’ transition pathway (identified during their Individual Counseling) will determine what CRS documents will be required. Additional CRS are as follows:

• 2-Day track CRS deliverables*
  • Employment:  Completed Resume or Verification of Employment
  • Vocational Training:  Comparison of Technical Schools
  • Education:  Comparison of Colleges/Universities
  • Entrepreneurship:  None

*A 2-Day track is only required for Tier 3 Service Members. Please refer to your eForm if you are unsure of your tier status.
