How exactly do I sell chargeable leave? Is there any actions or forms I need to fill out, or does is automatically occur after I ETS?

Like SFC (Join to see) says, it’s handled at the finance brief. My 2 cents: don’t! Unless you have a compelling reason take your transition leave, be 1 or 60 days. This way you’ll draw not only your basic pay, but BAH any other additional special pay you might be entitled. If you sell your leave days the you only get basic bay.

Thanks! I am a bit confused too. So my ETS balance says 84 days currently. So if I were to take terminal/transition leave closer to my ETS this following year would that be deducted from my current CR balance? Does the ETS balance have anything to do with that?

SPC Justin Farrar ETS balance is a vague term because it just means you earn 2.5 days every month. But it doesn't take into account use/lose leave.

Your finance brief is the last piece you will do when you sign out. Whatever leave is left, not counting your transition leave you're taking, you can sell. You cannot sell over 60 days total over your career. The amount is 30=one month base pay - 22% taxes. Don't sell leave

I appreciate the info. I'll pay close attention to that stuff. I am in SFLTAP now but I'm waiting to schedule the starting classes soon after new years.

SPC Justin Farrar war game your transition leave. Your leadership ought to help you not lose any day, but the opposite. The goals is that when you sign out on your ETS day, you sign on leave with as many possible days; up to 60 days in your case.
