This will be my final update...
I signed my DA 199 on 1 Jun, Got the call from PEBLO I hit the list on the 18th of July, picked up orders on the 19th of Jul and started clearing. I have my final out scheduled for the 28th of July with 75 days of terminal leave giving me a out of the Army date of 10 OCT 17.
I know the process is extremely frustrating especially when your trying to plan the rest of your life and give your family some stability while doing it.
But in the end no matter what anyone tells you to do to expedite the process, everyone needs to understand the system being used is currently broke. But it has improved over the years and will continue to improve.
I'm leaving the service after dedicating 24yrs to the nation and feeling honored to have been able to do it as long as I did.
Try to plan what you can while you wait for the system to get to you and remember your almost done. If you've been waiting for six weeks your number is almost up.
Because I'm a CSM I had the behind the scene look at the system so please believe me when I say it's getting better.
and for those of you who read this and just said whatever he had special treatment because he's a CSM...... I started the process almost a year ago, and it's been an uphill battle the entire way.
Take care and good luck to all.
