-- Reposted since it was buried in my other thread --
So I ran into a little hiccup with misrepresentation of information by the PEBLO. Not sure if it was my misunderstanding or not, but I was initially told my 60 days starts when my case manager finalizes my orders. Apparently this is far from the case.
When I went in to accept my ratings, I mentioned I would like to push up my separation date since my new job was contingent upon being able to work sooner than later. I was told that I didn't need to, because I was given 60 days (or the 30/30 OCONUS split) in order to outprocess and for PTDY. I was then told if I finish my outprocessing quickly, say 5-7 days, I would be able to take the rest of the time to get situated at my home of record.
Here is where things get sticky: I received my date and it is a month further out than anticipated, at 28 Dec 2015. Therefore, the earliest I could even start outprocessing is, technically, 28 October. Thus, I have been trying to find a means to push my date up, but am being told there "is no way to do that" by my PEBLO, and that I should be able to start my outprocessing as soon as I receive my paper orders (next week) and the rest is dead time.
The MPF is no help, and of course I haven't receive my paper orders so I don't have hard dates, but I would really like to gain an extra two weeks on this, since I've spent the past month vetting job offers with a start date of 1 Nov. If I had known they would have extended me out another month I would have easily opted for the date change in the first place.
Anyone know what I can do?
