Is there a regulation that the Army can send you home early if you secure a civilian job?

I am getting out medically. I have secured a civilian job, however I have cleared everything except for company and battalion and I have been waiting 3 months. I thought there was some regulation out there, that if you were to secure a job outside the military they could expedite your process and not hold you in service past a certain amount of days.

No there is not, and the one that was in place would be not applicable because you're going through a med board which trumps everything. The MEB time line is dictated by law and DOD guidelines. Nothing can expedite, or slow down, the process when it's a med board

SPC (Join to see) well, that sucks. Either way, the policy you're referring to was rescinded years ago, and it only allowed you to ETS a few months earlier

Now, I REALLY recommend you talk with your S1. Because, if you are getting out under a medical discharge, that is completely different than getting out because of a job. If you cleared everything but the unit, do you have orders in hand? I ask because I was always with the understanding that a SM cannot start clearing until ETS orders are in hand.

No I do not have orders. Litterally here just waiting on I have no clue what, and I reached out to my s1, they don’t know anything about that. I’m currently in South Korea

I’m not sure that’s allowed but a good place to start to research would be AR 600-200
