Terminal Leave
Prior to separation or retirement from the military, a member may take the remainder of the leave they have. For instance, if a member's separation or retirement date is June 30, and the member has 30 days of leave accrued, the member may go on "terminal leave" beginning June 1. All their outprocessing from the service would need to be accomplished prior to June 1. Once they entered "terminal leave" they would essentially be out of the military, but would still collect a paycheck and other entitlements, such as basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for subsistence and medical coverage until their official separation or retirement date on June 30.
