After selling your leave in the Military, how long does it take you to get paid that money, and does that money come on a normal paydate? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/after-selling-your-leave-in-the-military-how-long-does-it-take-you-to-get-paid-that-money-and-does-that-money-come-on-a-normal-paydate <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I sold 30 days of leave, and on my LES it shows up as a LUMP SUM payment, but under the summary section it is taken away under -CR FWD. So my main question is if I should expect that on my next LES or if it comes in the form of a separate payment from DFAS?

So I figured I was going to get something for reenlisting for at least 9 years. It was processed and showed up on my LES but they direct deposited it after finance processed it. Shouldn't take very long if you chose it. You can only sell leave once in your career unless they changed the Reg.

You can use it to get out earlier than your ets date.

If I remember correctly I believe I had to submit my reenlistment contract to finance for them to release the money.
