If you start ETS leave in September and haven’t even started SFLTAP then you might want to reconsider your current ETS plans
SFLTAP has all those answers

This entire process is discussed during SFLTAP as SFC Private RallyPoint Member has stated. either you haven't started the process or didn't pay attention during the classes. Either the case, you clearly don't have a plan and should really consider your future.

When you ship your HHG, you must ship them to your home of record, or they sit in storage not to exceed 90 days after separation. You also have the opportunity to ship them to a location you will be living at. Once the shipment is set up, you cant change it. (This will all be answered in SFL TAP)

You also have those mythical creatures known as NCO's that im sure would be able to assist in answering any questions you may have or finding the answers

Please contact your local processing center, all of your answers are in one simple document.

One thing, go see CIF. They have a line -by-line excell sheet that shows what you need to turn in. That'll be the biggest pain. The second biggest is the classes you have to attend through the TAPS program. everything else is seeing the right person and getting a signature.
