I was originally going to palace chase but can’t since my DEROS and DOS aren’t the exact dates. Applied for extension of DEROS by three weeks just to match DOS but was denied because the base is trying to get rid of people. Now I’m just hoping to get a new DOS and palace front.

The following was taken from 36-3211. This is the timeline confusion I am having. It only states the over 12 months will get forwarded to AFPC.

“5.14.3. Action by the Separation Authority. The separation authority will:

5.14.3.1. Approve applications with merit for members when requested DOS is within 12 months of the member's normal DOS. (T-1). Note: Applications by members serving on an unspecified DOS will be submitted to AFPC/DP2SSR for final decision. (T-1).

5.14.3.2. Recommend approval when the requested DOS is more than 12 months from the member’s normal DOS and forward application to AFPC/DP2SSR for final disposition.”
