Hypothetically, but you'll have to have extenuating circumstances and the blessing from 8th Army and HRC to adjust your DEROS.

In theory you can but it cannot just be on whim or a want. There has to be a valid reason behind the request to do so. I have never heard of it happening but anything is possible.

Your orders will need to say Early Report Authorized. If they don’t it’s usually just a 4187 signed by your Battalion Commander sent to the branch manager

When it comes to DEROS date, you can leave 5 days before or 5 days after. Anything other than that you would have to do a 4187 with a good justification. Even if you have early report authorized, you cannot leave before your DEROS without a 4187.
