You could start earlier. Personally I just had a lot to do between moving out of housing, inspection, clearing base and everything else. The goal for transitions is for someone to leave 26 days after they get their 199. I had to give housing a 30 day notice or pay rent for an extra month. I also didn’t take into account that the military only pays to ship one vehicle because I shipped my wife’s car to Alaska and drive mine up here and I can’t drive out of here in the winter. So that was a whole other problem. But yes, me and the transitions guy just both decided March 5 gave me enough time to do everything.
