EP11, about the unemployment. After you got your 214 did your unemployment office let you get paid unemployment while on terminal leave, or did they file the paperwork so that it automatically started on the first day after ETS? The unemployment office will definately be on my list of places to go my first week after I return to the states.
Clue,
From what I have seen you won't get your DD214 until your service is complete. For example, you take 60 days terminal leave and DD214 isn't even officiall until you are complete with your terminal leave. That is not to say that it isn't created/made before you last day but it will be post dated and it will not be mailed to you or available for pick up until your last day. FWIW, I could be misremembering/wrong as it has been a few years since I was the Admin O for a base and in charge of the personnel detachment.
