Once I submit my Army retirement packet, what is the timeline for having my retirement orders cut? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/once-i-submit-my-army-retirement-packet-what-is-the-timeline-for-having-my-retirement-orders-cut <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello. I submitted my retirement packet. My retirement date will be 1 Jan 2022. It is at Retirement Service Office and will be submitted next week. Is there a timeline for HRC to &quot;cut&quot; retirement orders? Ex: Do I have to be within X amount of months before the retirement date of 1 Jan 2022. Or will HRC &quot;cut&quot; retirement orders as soon as its processed? meaning i could get retirement orders, potentially next month?

Also, retirement date is the last day of the month, not the first. Hopefully your packet doesn&#39;t get kicked back for the wrong date.
