Important Note

This timeline provides general guidance based on common military separation milestones. Actual requirements and deadlines may vary by branch, installation, and individual circumstances. Always verify timelines with your unit transition office or installation Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine Readiness Center. This tool does not store or transmit any of your information beyond your browser.

How This Works

Enter your separation or ETS date and this tool calculates every key milestone counting backwards (and forwards) from that date.

Each item is color-coded so you can see at a glance what needs attention:

Green — plenty of time remaining
Yellow — coming up within 2 weeks
Red — past due, take action now
Gray — completed (checked off)

Check items off as you complete them. Your progress is saved in your browser automatically.
