Secretary of the Army or his designee may accept resignations and orders will be issued by direction of the CG, HRC. An officer whose resignation has been accepted will be separated on the date specified in DA’s orders or as otherwise directed by the DA. An appropriate discharge certificate as specified by the CG, HRC, will be furnished by the appropriate commander at the time the officer is separated. The date of separation, as specified or directed, will not be changed without prior approval of HQDA nor can valid separation orders be revoked subsequent to the specified or directed date of separation. b. Except when resignation is under section VI of this chapter, USAR officers in an AGR status or on ADT, ADSW, TTAD and Soldiers on AD pursuant to 10 USC 12304 (Presidential Selected Reserve) will request resignations under the provisions of AR 135–175. Before such a request is submitted, they must be released from their AD status. c. Under normal circumstances, any RA officer or USAR Officer who has completed their 8–year MSO may submit a request for unqualified resignation, provided all Service Remaining Requirements (SRRs) have been met. Such application will be submitted not earlier than 12 months or less than 6 months prior to the requested separation date. The 6 month requirement may be waived by the Separation Approval Authority. Appropriate documentation must accompany the request. 3–2. Date changes/withdrawals of resignation a. An officer may request withdrawal of resignation at any time prior to commencing travel pursuant to orders issued for the purpose of separating the officer. The request, including reasons, will be forwarded through channels specified in paragraph 3–4. Each forwarding endorsement will include recommendation for approval or disapproval. Reasons for disapproval will be stated. b. A resignation may be withdrawn only with the approval of HQDA, with the exception of an unqualified resignation. An unqualified resignation may be withdrawn on the approval of an endorsing commander in the field and returned to the officer concerned, provided the resignation has not been forwarded by the commander to CG, HRC. c. All date change/withdrawal requests should follow the procedures outlined in figures 3-5 and 3-6, respectively. 3–3.
