How to Fill Out the AF IMT 100 Form
Follow these steps to complete the form correctly. Have your personnel records, orders, and unit contact information ready before you start.
- Enter personal information. Fill in your full name, Social Security Number, grade, and date of birth. Include your current unit and base of assignment. Confirm your information matches your service record exactly to avoid processing delays.
- Select the type of separation. Check the box for your separation category: honorable discharge, entry-level separation, release from active duty, or retirement. If you are unsure which category applies, consult your unit's personnel office before submitting.
- Record the authority for separation. Enter the regulation or order number authorizing the action. Your unit personnel office can supply this reference. Typical authorities include AFI 36-3208 for officer separations and AFI 36-3207 for enlisted separations.
- Document post-separation entitlements. Enter the number of terminal leave days approved. Indicate whether permissive TDY is authorized. List your home of record address for travel allowance calculations. Keep a copy of your approved leave balance for your records.
- Enter your future mailing address. Provide a valid address where official mail will reach you after separation. This address is used for W-2 forms, VA correspondence, and benefit payments. Update this address with DFAS and the VA separately after separation is finalized.
- Sign and date the form. Both the service member and the authorizing officer must sign. Submit the completed document to your unit personnel office for processing. Retain a signed copy for your personal records.
