Well, it all depends on what reasons you give your leadership for wanting to get out. I'm sure if you tell them you hate the AF for deploying you all the time and can't stay all the BS (which may be true), you may not get a very good reaction. However, if you come up with some constructive reasons as to why you want this, I can't see why they should hold it against you. My commander was very cool about it. He said that I had to do what was right for me and that my career progression, at least with him in command, would not be effected. I even had a sit down with the OG who questioned my reasons and he was cool about it too. Any leadership that purposely backstabs their people because they don't agree with why they want to separate may want to take a step back and realize that attitude may be the reason people want out to begin with. Yes, I was willing to "shoot myself in the foot".
