I can not get a straight answer on how much notice I need to give the Air Force (AF), in order to get out.

I have been told the AF requires at least six months notice from the point you would like to seperate. If you wait longer then this (drop papers four months prior) then a waiver is required.

I have heard so many didferent variations from the above, I wanted to see if someone had actually been through the process and could shed some light on the subject? In addition, if there is a waiver process who approves the waiver? (Wing CC, AFPC, etc).

Thanks in advance for the help.
