COVID-19 Military Domestic Travel Ban

[Chawmane]

Hello all, I am currently in the process of clearing my installation for my medical retirement (Which will most likely be pushed to the right due to the ban). I would like to start a thread to see if anyone else will be ETSing around this time and how you plan to prepare.

Pentagon halts all domestic travel for military amid coronavirus outbreak

Pentagon officials late Friday announced a halt on all domestic travel for troops, civilian personnel and their families for the next two months just hours after President Trump declared the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency.

"Individuals pending retirement or separation during this period are exempt."

"Individuals pending retirement or separation during this period are exempt."

Oh well that’s good news. Do you know if that covers terminal leave as well? Or just once your ETS date hits

 

[Jimothy84]

Not sure what your questions intends to ask. All separating personnel are exempt from all travel and leave restrictions.

I understand what you're asking, and I'm wondering the same thing, will those separating be allowed to take terminal leave outside of the local area, or will they only be allowed to leave the local area once their ETS date hits.

I've received my findings, the case is finalized and am just awaiting orders, does anyone know if orders will be delayed at this point, or will those likely be coming as expected?

Again, retirement and separations are not affected by any of this as of now.

Not terminal leave.

Not HHG.

Not orders cutting.

My PTDY, HHG date and terminal leave were all approved after this all started.
