On my applications, I listed the earliest availability date that I could legally use, to include taking planned terminal leave. My commitment was May 08 and I have about 75 days of termina leave, so I listed something like 1 Mar 08 as my availability.
In the meantime, you alone can pick your separation date, as long as it is after your ADSC. As long as your separation date is at least 6 months from the day you try to establish it, you don't need any approval to do so. If you don't give the AF at least 6 months notice, then you need a Wing/CC waiver.
Also, if you plan on going to the Guard/Reserve, then you need to fill out an AF Form 780. That form needs to be signed by your Wing/CC, but they have no legal grounds of denying a separation as long as you give them 6 months notice and you have fulfilled your ADSC.
