With a current leave balance of 38 days and an ETS balance of 84 days, how many days will I be allowed to take for terminal leave?

Just do not forget you have to request your ets orders unlike pcs orders. Its best to have your transition packet at transition 90 days before ets date or 90 days before transtion leave start date! Remember its your leave not some one elses leave so they might not have you best interest or follow thru and follow up with your paper work ...

Just know unlike pcs orders ' that with ets orders you have to create your packet. An to turn in transtion packet need approaved or working da 31. Approaved preferably. So you want you ets orders atleast 90 days before ets date or preferably 90 days before transtion leave start date. An if want in an ets award best to turn in coa 60 days before ets orders created. Its weird but its easier to turn in ets award of coa for you self and let unit upgrade it to sumthing better ! Than to put in for an msm an leave with a coa or nothing at all ....

I guess it all depends on the unit. From what I was told COs could authorize 30, BN COs 60, and BDE COs 90. Hope this helps

As many days as you commander approves up to the 84 days.

I'd ask your LPO (whomever you report to directly for work) or someone at your local personnel support detachment office. When I was separating I had about 2 months on the books and ended up selling back a bunch because I still had to report to work (although, I rarely had to stay past muster). You should work it out to use at least a month of the leave at the end to wrap up with your separation physical and dental. Don't ignore this because if you have anything that may qualify you for a disability rating the first place the VA is going to look is your service medical records. Make sure you address any single issue you have had and that the doctor/dentist tells you plainly that it is being documented. Otherwise, try not to use every last day - sell the excess back for some extra cash in your last pay period.

When does terminal start for you?
