My ETS is November 1st 2022
I'm leaving the service because I don't want to do law school online and the max I get is 6 month off during a reenlistment. I currently have 120 ETS balance, and Credit of 73 days of leave with 25.5 use or lose. I only take leave in July and for Christmas. (15 days). By the looks of it I'll a lot of ETS leave balance.

Your use/lose gets lost at the beginning of every fiscal year and you reset back to 60 days max. If you don't take any leave between now and October you'll lose 25.5 days

Use it or lose it!!! As a SPC, they can find someone to take your place. They may not do as good job as you, but your unit can find a replacement until you return from leave [enjoy you vacation].

You can sell back up to 60 days. This is a good practice if you don’t have a job lined up when you get out. It gives you some walking around money until you get yourself squared away. Take at least a few weeks to maybe go back home and line up a job or a place to stay if you don’t already have that taken care of. Things will be stressful enough without having to worry about a job and living space.

I went through it in 2013, and that is the advice my leadership gave me. Best advice I ever got. Good luck, you are gonna miss the structure and your battle that would back you no matter what. Do yourself a favor and use that GI Bill.
