My separation date was 30 May (feels good to be a civilian!). I took my orders by the MPF and told them I needed an IRR card that expired in three years, but he told me he could only give me the 2765 ID that you're talking about. I checked the back and it has "medical: yes" as well (expires this Nov). So does this mean my family can still be seen on base for free? How does this process work? We have already applied for civilian transition insurance (the insurance for my new job starts 1 Aug) but haven't paid for it yet. Any help is appreciated.

Also, can folks chime in on how long it took them to get their VSP payment after their date of sep? The VSP FAQ on the AFPC website says that it will be paid "upon date of separation," but mine wasn't. I called over to AFPC to see what was up and the guy told me it could take up to four weeks!!!! Also, when I looked at my final LES last week, it said that my normal pay was being held back. I went to finance and was told that my entire last month's pay is held back for an audit and to allow leave to be sold back and would be paid in full by 10 days after my sep date. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A BIG PROBLEM IF YOU HAVE A MORTGAGE OR OTHER MONTHLY PAYMENT AND NO PAYCHECK OR VSP CHECK TO COVER IT!!! Luckily we had some money we could use for our house payment. After all this, we still ended up getting paid half my normal paycheck on the first. What gives? What have other people been experiencing?
