Kinds of retirement
Fifteen published retirement categories. Pick the kind, then a packet extra. Live combined totals run from $1,000 (Enlisted 20-year + standard) to $25,000 (PDRL + command-priority). Filing does not approve retirement until an administrator reviews it.
Add a packet extra
Standard is included. TAP, VA BDD notes, SBP, household counseling, and command-priority add a surcharge on the same ladder as leave duration.
Pay, then wait
Paying the filing fee reserves a retirement ID. It does not cut orders, start TAP, or file a VA claim.
Read your history
Every filing you submit stays on Retirement history with status, payment, and packet extra until the desk closes it.
