Early out for employment

Veteran

Was wondering if anyone had a sample packet of the early release for employment. My s1 can't seem to help me and no one knows about this. Thanks so much!

Awesome I have all of that done besides the transitions memo. Do I just get that from transitions themselves ?

You need a contract or direct job offer including a salary/ per hour offer. You will write a letter explaining what you want including what regulation allows you to do that, why you qualify. You need to go to a cap or financial counselor showing you will be able to make enough money to support your family with that new budget. A copy of your ERB. You send it up through s1. It's about normally a 3-4 week process.

Once you get a job acceptance letter you are ready to start building your packet. Once you have you packet put together you need to get your Commander to sign it.

Your packet is going to include:
- An updated ERB
- A 4187/4187-R
- Your Job Acceptance letter
- A Transition Memo

Once your commander signs it bring it straight to a copier and make at least 6 copies. Then, and only then, bring your paperwork to S1 and hand them a copy. S1 will check over it and make sure it's good to go. Before you leave you need to get your document # so that you can track it. Now, the fun part. Every other day walk into S1 and ask them about the status of your packet. Find a clerk you know or trust and give them your phone number so they can call you if it gets approved or declined.

Good luck.
