When your military service is about to come to an end, it's important that you ask the right questions so that you are fully prepared for life outside of the Army. Transitioning to civilian life will be a lot easier when you have the necessary information about what to expect. Your Defense Military Pay Office (DMPO) should help you find the information you need. Here are some of the issues that you need to investigate.
Army Separation Tips -- Payments and TaxesAsk about you final pay. Figure out what your allotments are and see if there are any federal or state tax issues that deserve your attention. Make sure that your address information is correct on your W2 forms and find out exactly how and when you will receive your final LES.
Army Separation Tips -- Lodging and Travel AllowancesFind out information about the Temporary Lodging Expense. See if there are any issues with your travel allowances. If you need help submitting your final voucher -- DD Form 1351-2 -- make sure that you have all your questions answered before you retire from the service.
Army Separation Tips -- Personal Records and DocumentationCollect your medical and dental records from your medical facility. Make sure you have all the necessary documentation before you exit the military. Find out who you need to contact if you have any questions about filling out forms in the future.
