Anyone know if there is an afi stating whether or not you can/can't have a day in between final out and the start of terminal leave? Please be specific if possible. Thank you!Anyone know the afi on terminal leave?2017-08-11T09:49:22-04:00SrA Private RallyPoint Member2821617<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm 16 days away from my terminal leave start day and my NCOIC suddenly decides I can't have my final out on Friday if my terminal leave can't start until Sunday.

Besides, your Final Out day is a duty day. Like, seriously, your outprocessing is your duty on that day, you don't report to your section. If that's a Friday, so be it. It's not like you're going to be slacking off that day, you're going to be running your ass off around base, between MDG, MPF, Finance, Travel, etc. Honestly, I'd go take it up with your OIC and/or Shirt.Response by SSgt Ryan Sylvester made Aug 11 at 2017 9:56 AM2017-08-11T09:56:09-04:002017-08-11T09:56:09-04:00SGM Erik Marquez2821736<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I do not know AFI's, but I do know military service... And unit reporting..You are going to be in one status or another<br />Present for duty (the day you final out) or not present for duty and on leave.<br />I doubt the system will allow you to be in "limbo" for a day in between.<br />You had an out processing appointment yes? If so, they should have walked though your last days, terminal leave< final out<out processing days<day to report to receive clearing papers (if the AF does that) Those are the subject matter experts, they do this every day, dozens of times a day.. go see your out processing specialistsResponse by SGM Erik Marquez made Aug 11 at 2017 10:23 AM2017-08-11T10:23:42-04:002017-08-11T10:23:42-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member2821760<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Normally, a losing unit would have you report on Saturday via phone or in person, depending on the situation, and then see you on your way.<br />Alternatively, the Commander might grant a day of permissive TDY to bridge the gap.<br />Were it me and you were in the area, I would take a few hours to check in with you, see you off, maybe move a box or two and share a pint, and tell the commander you were helping me move some supplies around.<br /><br />Good luck when you get out.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 11 at 2017 10:31 AM2017-08-11T10:31:54-04:002017-08-11T10:31:54-04:00LTC Jason Mackay2824275<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why, is someone coming in on Saturday to run the final out station for you? Your final out is an installation function. Your installation should publish a SOP or local policy IAW the AFI and service regulations.<br /><br />You can't depart the area until your leave starts, but if you are in a he area and your unit is not operating that Saturday, then not sure what the deal is.Response by LTC Jason Mackay made Aug 11 at 2017 11:55 PM2017-08-11T23:55:31-04:002017-08-11T23:55:31-04:002017-08-11T09:49:22-04:00
