What are the repercussions for staying past your DEROS?

2017-03-29T08:54:53-04:00

I had a DEROS extension to September, but it was recently cancelled and moved up. I now have an assignment, but no orders. I sent the second DEROS extension request in but there is almost no way it will be approved in time, but my report date is still a bit out. Any insight into the repercussions that may fall on me would be much appreciated so that I may prepare/brace myself.

something you should really be asking/following up with the MPF! if you have a good supervisor or commander, they may be able to fast track the process...

There should be no repercussions against you as someone somewhere else dropped the ball. However, keep the pressure on MPF and your Shirt to help you get answers. Orders may come at the last minute, so be prepared as you may get very little notice.

Make friends with someone in MPF as they will be your greatest resource at this point.

Good luck.

Update: My DEROS has expired, so I have been placed on "forced leave" status to be able to out-process without being illegal. I'm not exactly sure if anything is coming my way, but there are definitely some strongly worded emails flying around. I'm just trying to get to my next base ASAP so that I don't burn all of my leave.
