How far out from my ETS can I deploy?

Unit is set to deploy sometime in the next few months, my ETS is October 1 of next year. Am I still deployable? I start SFL-TAP December 15th, and have 30 days of leave saved up for terminal leave, but by the time ETS comes along I should have about 55 days saved.

For what is good, you could be stop loss depending on whatever guidances DA has at the moment.

Did you ask anyone in your unit? You could deploy and get sent back to clear...or you get stop lossed. I don't know how much of stop loss they're doing these days.

If it was me, I'd be asking S1 and go from there.

Your ETS must be at least 90 days after your units scheduled return from deployment. If you want to go you'll have to extend to at least 90 days after the deployment. You can still be deployed but you must be returned at least 90 prior to ETS to transition.

Your leave is not a factor. You're required to returned 90 days prior to ETS not transition leave. Your command is not required to approve your transition leave and you may have to sell some of it

Dad got hit with a Stop-Loss during the Cuban Missile Crisis - not only that but he didn't have the security clearance to read his own orders! The PAC Warrant officer let him read them in his presence.
