1. Name:
During the army out-processing process, service members must provide their full names. This information is used to ensure that all paperwork and documents are filled out correctly and accurately reflect each individual’s identity.
2. Rank:
The rank of a service member is one of the primary criteria used to determine benefits and privileges. Therefore, it’s important to accurately and correctly include this information during the out-processing period.
3. MOS/AOC:
The Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) or Area of Concentration (AOC) is another important factor used to determine benefits and privileges during out-processing. This must be indicated on any documents that are filled out during the transition process in order for all entitlements to be properly awarded.
4. Required records, documents or other items:
In addition to providing personal information such as name, rank, and MOS/AOC, service members must also have certain records and documents ready for submission prior to out-processing. These may include discharge papers, DD Form 214, medical records, and any other required forms or documents.
5. Relevant contact information:
In order for the transition process to go smoothly, all relevant contact information must be provided including current address, phone number, and email address. This ensures that service members can be easily contacted if any additional information is needed during the out-processing period.
6. Final physical fitness and medical tests:
Prior to being discharged from active duty service members must complete a final physical fitness test (PFT) as well as any necessary medical tests in order to ensure their health and safety. These tests should be completed several weeks prior to out-processing in order to allow for proper review of results.
7. Out-processing briefings:
Out-processing briefings are required for all service members transitioning to civilian life. These briefings provide important information regarding benefits, entitlements, and other related topics that will be useful during the transition process.
8. Debriefing with supervisor:
Prior to leaving active duty, service members must have a debriefing session with their immediate supervisor in order to review any outstanding issues or matters requiring resolution before final discharge from the military.
9. Separatee counseling session:
The separatee counseling session is designed to help service members develop an action plan for navigating the transition from military to civilian life. This includes providing guidance on career planning, job searching and networking, as well as helpful advice about financial management and other related topics. This final step in the transition process helps ensure that service members are adequately prepared for the transition to civilian life and have a plan in place to help them succeed.
