What is the process for approving resignations/retirements?
a. OPM-1 reviews Direct Access to determine if the member has any obligated service remaining and is eligible for what they are requesting. It is also checked for Command endorsement and the member is contacted if there are procedural mistakes. b. The applicable detailer and Chief of Officer Assignments review the request, determine service impact, and make necessary adjustments to the assignment shopping lists. c. The package is returned to the Chief of the Boards, Promotions, & Separations Branch and a separation date is assigned based on feedback from the Separations Section, the Assignments Branch, and Command Endorsements. d. The Separation Sections makes appropriate entries in Direct Access issuing orders.
