centralized board<br />

a. Commissioned officers <strong>and</strong> chief warrant officers on the AD list twice non-selected for promotion to the grade of<br />

<strong>and</strong>, if applicable,“acknowledgment of notification of nonselection” for ADL promotion to the comm<strong>and</strong>er of the<br />

nonselected officer.<br />

c. Commissioned officers <strong>and</strong> chief warrant officers (except as stated in d <strong>and</strong> e, below) will be separated on the 1st<br />

day of the 7th calendar month after approval of the promotion board’s report unless earlier release is voluntarily<br />

requested or retention on AD in a Reserve status is approved by the Secretary of the <strong>Army</strong> or their designee.<br />

d. An officer may request an earlier separation date or submit a resignation, for example, to accept an appointment<br />

as a warrant officer or for continuing on AD in an enlisted status (AR 601–280) (whichever applies <strong>and</strong> if eligible).<br />

e. An officer or <strong>and</strong> warrant officer who is within 2 years of qualifying for retirement under chapter 6 (20 years<br />

AFS) on scheduled release date <strong>and</strong> who can so qualify prior to attaining the maximum age will be retained on AD<br />

until the last day of the month following the month he or she qualifies for retirement. Maximum ages are specified in<br />

chapter 2, section XI (RC, age 60 or for warrant officer, age 62) or chapter 6, section VII (RA, age 62).<br />

f. An officer or warrant officer eligible for retirement under chapter 6 may apply for retirement to be effective not<br />

later than the first day of the seventh month beginning after the month in which the President or Secretary of the <strong>Army</strong><br />

(as applicable) approves the report of the board that considered the officer or warrant officer the second time.<br />

g. If otherwise eligible, an officer may submit a resignation to continue a military career in an enlisted status, or a<br />

commissioned officer may submit a resignation to be appointed as a USAR warrant officer. The resignation date will<br />

be not later than the m<strong>and</strong>atory discharge or release date. For a warrant officer (with only warrant officer status), the<br />

resignation will not be later than the m<strong>and</strong>atory discharge or release date.<br />

h. When an officer’s case is referred to a HQDA Special Selection Board for promotion reconsideration (AR<br />

600–8–29, chap 7), the officer will continue to be processed for separation as scheduled. However, when reconsideration<br />

is not completed by the scheduled separation date, HRC–Alex<strong>and</strong>ria (AHRC–OPD–A) will temporarily suspend<br />

the separation date, pending completion. When the board’s decision is unfavorable, the officer will be separated not<br />

later than 30 calendar days after their receipt of notification.<br />

i. An officer’s discharge under this paragraph will be under Honorable conditions <strong>and</strong> a DD Form 256A will be<br />
