Transition Readiness (TR)
The Transition Readiness Program at MCB Quantico is making changes to the delivery of Transition
Readiness Program services to ensure completion of required timelines (Initial Counseling, Pre- Separation Counseling, Transition Readiness Seminar and Capstone Reviews), while increasing precautionary measures being set in place due to COVID-19. CONTACT YOUR UNIT TRANSITION COORDINATOR (UTC) FOR MORE INFORMATION.
TRANSITION READINESS PROCESS:
For Marines, the transition process begins with your Unit Transition Coordinator (UTC). Contact your
UTC to get instructions on how to begin the transition process. If you are a Marine on a Marine Corps installation outside of MCB Quantico, contact the UTC at your unit/installation. If you are a Marine Reservist or Marine on I&I Duty outside of MCB Quantico, contact the P&PD Manager at MARFORRES Cynthia.nothstein@usmc.cmil for Transition Readiness assistance. For other services, contact the UTC equivalent for your branch of service.
