Just for SA here, regarding the bonus and its associated ADSC: The assigned mandatory retirement date definitely overrides the bonus ADSC. The thing to note is that they WILL take the bonus back FROM YOUR MIL PAY prior to your retirement (prorated), if it's mathematically possible. Which means: bank your last bonus, and expect to live off of it, 'cuz once you start outprocessing and Finance sees it, they will recoup it--the prepaid bonus is now A DEBT to the government. In my own example, my DOS and bonus time remaining were mismatched by four months; my next-to-the last AD (O-4) check was $700, and my final AD check was $0. So, heads up.
