Is there an AR that covers clearing?

I want to see if I can start clearing early so when my orders come I can just be ready to take off.

You can only start clearing when you physically receive your orders. I am assuming you are being separated, so you will receive your transition orders no earlier than 6 months to your report date. No earlier than 10 business days will you receive clearing papers. once you receive orders, you can go to transportation and HHG, but that's about it.

AR 635-200 focuses on Army enlisted discharges. Although clearing is usually post specific, the regulation does mention eligibility for types of discharges

Look, each Post has its own timeline and clearing process. Some give 30 days (if you have dependents/base housing) some do a 2 week schedule if you have made all your appts/physical. Our unit will not let ypu set on your ass tho waiting for orders.

PV2 Timothy Maciel did you read the Imstallation clearance record form? it has the Regulation that covers it , AR600-8-101 on top of the form....all Army forms list the regulation that covers its use on it. Para 3-1 to 3-5 are probably your focus area.

Para 3-2: . Soldiers will be given a minimum of 5 working days to out-process unless it is locally determined that Soldiers can out-process quicker.

Para 3-5: (3) Soldiers who PCS or transition will report to the PROC CS no later than 10 duty days prior to the scheduled depar- ture date to receive a briefing on installation- or community-level clearance procedures.

Installations add to this their local policies, which is in AR635-200
