Especially since now they’re saying because of COVID19, soldiers can save up to 120 days of leave.Can you take your Cr balance leave days back to back with transition/terminal leave days when you are ETSing? How does that all work?2020-04-16T23:10:31-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member5784448<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve seen like 10 different answers, just trying to get a clear explanation for how you can maximize your leave to figure out housing arrangements/other things while ETSing.

Transition leave is not a separate balance of leave. Where your LES says ETS leave, that simply means from today until the day you ETS accruing 2.5 leave days a month, that would be your total balance if Use/Lose does not come into play. Your ETS balance = Cr Balance + unearned leave to ETS.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 17 at 2020 1:29 PM2020-04-17T13:29:45-04:002020-04-17T13:29:45-04:002020-04-16T23:10:31-04:00
