So my fiance came down on orders to Korea for a year with her kids on efmp and already being a single parent with little over a year to ets . She dropped her family care plan and a chapter 5-9 was initiated to remove her from the army. Shes going through phase 2 medical at this point and was wondering if she could take terminal leave to figure out the situation with her kids and a financial plan. Her commander is hesitant because he's new to the whole chapter process and being a commander in general. Is there a regulation stating that terminal leave is allowed upon a family care plan chapter? I've had soldiers that I've escorted myself and they both were allowed terminal leave prior to picking up their dd214 I just dont know the actual reg that entails that?

The thing with chapters is that once the chapter is approved, she will he given a new ETS dare. This is true for all chapters. Only voluntary separations will let you choose your own ETS date. Once she has that ETS date she can begin clearing and take whatever leave she can spend between her last day clearing and her ETS. For most people that is several days not several weeks. She will receive an honorable discharge, so she's eligible to take terminal leave from whenever her final out date is until her ETS. The Army is not authorized to extend her past her ETS in order to allow her to take all her leave as terminal leave.

Hello SFC, I have one simple question. My wife and I are dual military, she's an O and I'm an E, FCP sep seems like it's gonna happen since neither of our few relatives can help us with our child, in the event of this occuring would they probably seperate me as the enlisted men or her as the officer? Granted she's still due in a couple months. thank you in advance

SPC (Join to see) that's a choice for your commanders to make.
You can use neighbors and spouses of other service members for your FCP

Understood SFC, however my wife and I are in a unit that deploys frequently. I understand we have to do some soul searching of our own considering we don't know our neighbors, nor do we know any SMs spouses, much less trust the ones we do, especially since the child will only be a few months old that's just not a viable option for us. But I thank you very much for the rather quick response, as well as the help.
