Resignation
Resignation requests are routed and completed via NSIPS (training link is available at the bottom of the NSIPS homepage). The resigning officer should forward their request to Officer Personnel via NSIPS, with appropriate documentation attached to the request and following the guidelines found in MILPERSMAN 1920-190 and 1920-200.
Members may submit their request no more than 1-year prior to the requested resignation date. Members will also concurrently contact the USNA Command Career Counselor to enroll in the Transition Assistance Program.
One the request is submitted to BUPERS, the member will receive an email from Officer Personnel with various documents and requirements to be completed. The following items and directions are included in the resignation package:
- Arrange an appointment to review the Pre-separation Counseling Checklist (DD Form 2648) with the Command Career Counselor. This counseling is most effective if it is scheduled before the member has attended the TAP GPS at the Family Service Center.
- Schedule a separation physical through the Naval Medical Clinic 6-12 months before the detachment date.
- IMPORTANT: Your DD-214 will not become available for review and signature until 60-90 days after your entire separation package has been submitted to TSC Norfolk. The new process includes a reviewing of your DD-214 on NSIPS. After the review process is complete, you will finalize and sign your DD-214 in Bupers Online - Navy Personnel Command Document Services.
- Your last FITREP in the Navy will be marked "APPROVED" in Block 21. If you are separating outside of the standard reporting period and did not receive an "APPROVED" FITREP, you will receive a "Detachment of Individual" report with "APPROVED" annotated in Block 2
Note: Voluntarily separating personnel are NOT eligible for Permissive Temporary Duty for job/house hunting.
