The PTDY dates were highlighted on the form nonetheless it was all on one leave form. I signed out once.

Had the choice of either stay on base till EoS and get paid for those days or take them and just dont come back. I signed my EoS packet and took leave with only having to check into the local reserve officer to do the passive reserve of 2 years that was required. So if the other branches are like the Corps back in p3 no you shhould not have to go back.

Before you decide that you do not need to go back, you better take this up with your chain of command.

Who exactly is telling you you need to come back, sign back in and final out? <br />This is not how this works. Hope your reading all these comments by these senior leaders. Great points!!<br />Your PTDY, amd Leave should be on one DA31. Period. <br />On your last day, you final out with finance, then final out at MPD for stamp , etc<br />At midnight go sign out, and say thank you Army for everything, and I did my best, head up high troop.<br />Please take a copy of your DA31 when you go sign out, just for your record, and no you don&#39;t have to cone back and sign in. Your Unit, Finance, etx know you have transitioned from the Army to Civilian life!!<br />Does this make sense!<br />Note: On my PTDY and Terminal Leave, I didnt even sign out. lol<br />I had a my own copy and signed myself out as a Retiree.

How is this possible? How does some Separation from the Army go on Transition Leave then come back to final out and then sign out. I am confused.
