I am a E6 with 47 days left until I start terminal leave. Due to a lack of Manning (so they say) I am be forced to change my CIF turn in as well as my phase 2 appointments by my 1SG and PSG so that I can go out and conduct training with my unit. By the time we get back I will only have about 4 days until I start clearing post. Can they force me to change these appointments knowing full well it’s going to screw me over by only giving me a few days to finish everything or are they justified in doing so?

"Can my CoC force me to (insert anything at all legal here)?"
Yes.
Your commander is not even required to approve transition leave, and he can also revoke approved leave.
Have you talked to your CO about this?

I don't doubt it.
What I was always curious about--and maybe you'd know SGM (Join to see)-- was a case where our commo guy extend for 30 days just so the unit could get through a field exercise. Was it a strong request he extend or could the Army make that extension happen; i.e. ETS from Active Duty, but still a couple years left in the initial contract allowing for it?

the terminal leave is the sticky part there - they don't have to let you do much if any terminal leave.

Uncle Sugar guarantees you 10 days to clear. Your Command is required to enforce those policies. Anything beyond that is discretionary to Commander’s Intent and Mission. Sometimes it just sucks to suck and you get to ride the big green weenie for one last hoorah.
