Any idea idea if I could separate from AD and return from overseas after my DEROS/ADSC expire and NOT incur any type of commitment for the move back? I think you can, since you’d be separating and they owe you that last move, correct? To my knowledge that’s correct. They owe you one last move at the end when you separate/retire. And no, that doesn’t incur any duty.
June 16, 20196 yr Separate but related: If you joined the service in Texas, and subsequently live in Texas post-service, the Hazelwood Act provides for dependent tuition if said dependent attends a state university. Since both my wife and I are in the we can use the GI Bill for ourselves but not transfer the benefits to kids category, this was an amazing find. God bless Texas!

God bless Texas!Oh it gets better, if you're rated disabled by the VA (it may require 100%) you don't pay any property tax. Those who know will realize this is a game changer in TX. (Very high property tax, more than you make up for state income tax). For example, my mortgage of 200k was $7200 a year of property tax.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Is that a VA rating of 100% disabled or 100% permanently and totally disabled? I’ve been told that you must be 100% permanently and totally disabled to not pay property tax in TX.
June 19, 20196 yr I had to look that up because I'm moving to Texas soon... I called to inquire and it's off the appraised value, not a tax credit (so you're still gonna pay a ton, as I understand it.) What is the amount of the disabled veteran's exemption? The exemption amount that a qualified disabled veteran receives depends on the veteran's disability rating from the branch of the armed service. Disability Exemption Disability Rating Exemption Amount Up To 10% to 29% $5,000 from the property's value 30% to 49% $7,500 from the property's value 50% to 69% $10,000 from the property's value 70% to 100% $12,000 from the property's value A disabled veteran may also qualify for an exemption of $12,000 of the assessed value of the property if the veteran is age 65 or older with a disability rating of at least 10 percent; totally blind in one or both eyes; or has lost use of one or more limbs.
June 20, 20196 yr Yeah, I’m 100%, I should be running to TX but there’s nowhere there I really want to live.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk What do you have to be to be eligible for no property tax? After reading the disabled veteran’s exemption, mine would currently be $10k from the appraised value. I’m expecting more disability when I’m officially done with my military service but that still only shows $12k off. Does a 100% VA disability rating make you eligible to pay no property tax in TX?

See 2 posts above yours, I haven’t read anything above 12K, P&T might be 100%. And congrats, I might have saved you almost $1K a month. Edited June 20, 20196 yr by matmacwc
June 20, 20196 yr Yeah I called and it’s off appraised value... so if your place appraised for $300k for tax purposes, it will only be 288k after your discount.
June 21, 20196 yr I had a separation date set and deployed less than 6 months from that date. Returned approx 6 weeks later and started terminal within 5 days. 2014 timeframe from CVS so YMMV. No idea on the regs because no one tried to stop me, they just have me weird looks as I simultaneously ran pre-deployment and Air Force outprocessing checklists 🤷♂️Still valid. I returned from deployment in late May, I’m in TAP this week and starting terminal July 3.
January 19, 20205 yr I'm planning to sell/back my leave when I separate this fall. I understand you can only sell back 60 days and any use/lose you have beyond that can't be sold back. My question is, can you use that use/lose as terminal leave and still sell back the 60? E.G., if my date of sep is 23 September and I have 40 days of use/lose by then, can I final out on 13 August?
January 19, 20205 yr Yes. You can sell some/all/none up to 60 days. just realize you are taking a financial hit by selling it back. You lose bah, bas, etc. You also lose the 5 days of leave you would earn during those 60 days you’re selling.
January 20, 20205 yr I sold back 30 and took 60 days of terminal...I wish I’d taken 90 days of terminal. I’d take it all unless you have some really good reason to swear into the guard/reserve sooner.

Got back and min ran anything office related. Flew as much as I could to make up the hours I missed out on and now I am retired. Missing out on 6 months of IP time certainly has hurt my chances at flying for a major however I have a pretty good job lined up. Check of the month club is a good thing!

Scratching tick marks on the wall until then myself. Congratulations on getting to AD retirement!
February 20, 20205 yr Like many others, I’m trying to maximize my terminal leave, and my wife is due with our child in August. Can someone check my math on this and correct me if I’m wrong? Official separation date - 12 Dec 60 days of terminal - 12 Oct 21 days daddy leave - 21 September 25 days use/lose - approximately 27 August What am I missing? Edited February 20, 20205 yr by Skyryder
February 20, 20205 yr Accrued leave in the new FY can put your terminal leave to greater than 60 if you want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 20, 20205 yr Thanks for the reply. In my situation since 12 October is only 12 days after the new FY begins I would only accrue of 2.5 days of new leave. I’m trying to avoid taking 21 days baby leave + 25 days of use/lose PRIOR to the end of the Fiscal Year 2020, THEN having to come back to work for 12 days before taking 60 days of official terminal leave. Essentially I want to string all 106 days together (60 days terminal, 25 days use/lose, 21 days baby leave) ultimately leading up to my 09 December separation date. Because these 106 days span over the fiscal year change I’m not sure how that would work, and shockingly no one at MPF or Finance seems to know either. This is very significant because it could change my availability date for my civilian job by nearly 2 months. This scenario seems reasonable, and my original post appears to be the ONLY logical order of stringing these dates together, but I don’t know how to verify if it is valid or not.
February 20, 20205 yr I believe you will accrue leave while on terminal leave as well, so you’ll accrue 5 days in Oct/Nov. Also I believe you should be eligible for 20 days of job hunting PTDYSent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

You also accrue leave during those 21 days.
February 20, 20205 yr Anyone have the job hunting reference handy? I’m Palace Chasing and as far as I can tell I’m not entitled to that PTDY
