You can submit or withdraw an application for early termination if you are regular, MPGS and NRPS Service personnel (SP). Non-regular SP should submit applications for early termination to their unit career manager or terminations officer.
What you need to do
To apply for an early termination you need to:
navigate to JPA Self Service -Employee, Armed Forces > Apply for Early Termination
select whether you wish to leave at less or more than the Statutory Notice period
Statutory notice is 12 months for RN and Army ORs, for RAF ORs statutory notice is dependent on trade and will normally be either 6 or 12 months (Army and RAF Officers, who are not subject to statutory notice periods, should select ‘Yes’).
if selecting ‘No’ enter the date of leaving
Do not apply for a leaving date that is either later or earlier than the Projected Termination Date.
if selecting ‘Yes’, the following question requires action; ‘*If the service is unable to authorise your requested date, do you wish to leave at Statutory Notice?’ Select whether you wish to leave at the Statutory Notice period if the requested date is not authorised (this step will be hidden if selecting ‘No’ when asked “Do you wish to leave at less or more than the statutory notice?”)
