My packet has just gone to legal. Assuming this process would be a lot faster I applied for jobs. Is there any regulation or anything that would allow a solider to work while pending separation? If so how should I go about requesting that? Has anybody ever seen this done before?

Since you&#39;re pending separation I doubt any commander would approve that. No commander is going to support you working another job during duty hours. As long as you draw a paycheck your primary job is still the Army SFC Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 13 Nov 2020 11:17:35 -0500 2020-11-13T11:17:35-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-there-any-regulation-or-anything-that-would-allow-a-solider-to-work-while-pending-separation-if-so-how-do-i-request-that?n=6495665&urlhash=6495665 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I remember when I was back from my 2nd Tour (1970) I was leaning to leave the service and was allowed to spend 1/2 Day with the Sedgwick County Sherrif&#39;s Department as a Narcotics Detective, at that time, was available to appease the protesters.

The command takes on to much uncontrollable responsibility/possible liability for you should you be injured, do something illegal etc. anyway, you can ask, but there is nothing official I have ever heard of.
