Transition Bulletin Board (TBB) Makes Job Hunting Easier
Searching through the employment section of the newspaper is not the only way to find
work. Internet Websites provide a quick and easy way to find the latest job openings and
up-to-the-minute information useful to your job search. DoD’s Transition Bulletin Board lists
of jobs, as well as registered Public and Community Service (PACS) organizations, and a list of
business opportunities. Search ads are listed by job type and/or location; jobs are located
both stateside and overseas. In addition, individuals retiring under the Temporary Early
Retirement Authority (TERA) can fulfill the mandatory requirement to register for Public and
Community Service (PACS) online at the TBB. Simply log onto the Operation Transition/TBB
website, and click “TERA Individual Registration for PACS.”
