I’m taking 20 days of ptdy (March 11-March 30) and Terminal leave from March 31-April 29th. I was told by my chain of command that I have to come back on the 30th to sign out for Terminal leave. Is this true? I was under the impression that I don’t have to come back.
P.S My final out date is April 29th

I just retired a few months ago and all my leave was on the same leave form. The PTDY dates were highlighted on the form nonetheless it was all on one leave form. I signed out once.

MSG is correct. I did the same thing, PTDY in conjunction with my Transition Leave. All on one leave form and only signed out once.

They should put it all on the same leave form and you wouldn't need to come back.
If you take it before final out it would be on another leave form and you would come back to final out.

It’s on two leave forms but I go on leave after my final out date. If I have my dd-214 it doesn’t make sense for me to come back to sign out. I think they did it so that they can give me my “ets award” on the 30th. It’s just a COA and it won’t even show up on my 214. LTC (Join to see)

If you have done final out, you should have a leave form that carries you through to ETS.
If you have done final out and have a DD214, thats it

I worked on terminal leave, and on the day of retirement popped in on a Sunday to pick up retirement orders from SDNCO. Signed the duty log book with "CWO3 McIntosh now ashore". Your command knows best would be my advice.

Did the same thing, but I had cleared post before I left so it was simply to sign out of my unit. Army paid both travel vouchers @ $3300.

SSG Marlin Dammarell - The PersO was a really good CWO3 and woman Marine. One of the best I ran across.
