What is the earliest that I can depart for my HOR?

For a voluntary separation, does the AF give you travel days to get to your HOR like a PCS?

My local FSS told me that I can't leave AK for my HOR until my DOS since I'm selling back my leave. I was under the impression that they have to get you back to your HOR prior to DOS. My HOR allows for 10 days of travel based on the JFTR which makes me think that I should be able to leave on 13 May for a 23 May DOS. Am I wrong?

I believe that I read somewhere that voluntary separations from overseas don't qualify for PTDY. Am I missing something there...
First Palace Chase means you have a Guard or Reserve job. I gather you have one and that's why you're selling back your leave, so you can start right away, rather than take terminal and leave AK ASAP. A TFI unit has to sign off on your Palace Chase to incur the remaining commitment. If not then your talking Palace Front. But why sell back your leave? You'll lose $$. Not sure the details about the other stuff. Good luck!
