Currently forward, ETS date in Dec2020, planning to take 50 days of terminal leave. I am unable to finish sfltap forward since it was initiated in the rear. I am trying to find it in the literature, but some say the terminal leave is included in the 90 days while an e6 is being sent back 90 days prior to terminal leave. We are both planning to take around 50 days of terminal leave.

All SFLTAP is through the virtual center, you can finish sfl tap anywhere. Talk to your CoC about emailing your counselor to allow you to do the JKO classes.

You should be sent back 90 days prior to ETS. Not completing SFLTAP is on you because you’re allowed to start it at 18 months from ETS. If the command chooses to send you or someone else back early enough to take 90 days transition +terminal leave, that’s a commanders decision. The commander is not required to allow you to take all of that leave.
