Da Form 2339 PDF Details

The DA Form 2339, otherwise known as the Application for Voluntary Retirement, plays a crucial role for service members contemplating leaving active duty under voluntary retirement conditions. Governed by AR 635-200, with the Military Personnel Center (MILPERCEN) acting as the proponent agency, this form initiates the administrative process required for members of the military to retire voluntarily. The form outlines a comprehensive range of information starting from personal identification details like name and social security number, to more specific data including desired retirement date, current and highest grades served, and unit assignment. Essential for determining a service member’s eligibility and processing their retirement, it also includes sections for recording military awards, total service time, and retirement preferences such as location and status in the retired reserve. Moreover, the form mandates applicants to acknowledge their understanding of certain retirement-related provisions, such as undergoing a medical examination before retirement and the Survivor Benefit Plan. Commanders also have a section to recommend approval or disapproval and to attest to the accuracy of the service shown. The DA Form 2339 thus encapsulates key elements of a service member’s military career and retirement intentions, serving as a vital document in transitioning from active duty to retired status.

I also understand that my retirement will take effect on the requested date and that I will not be held on active duty to complete this examination.

2.I have been briefed concerning the Survivor Benefit Plan. I understand that I will automatically be in the plan and will pay the full cost of coverage for my wife, and children if applicable, unless I submit an election form to the contrary prior to my retirement.
