How do I find my status?

Financial services can vary widely depending on what your current military status is. Active duty military members typically live on base and carry out day-to-day duties as a member of the armed forces.

If you are unsure of your current status, you can look at your LES (6th box) and see your Expiration Term of Service (ETS) or Expiration of Active Obligated Service (EAOS). If you are still unsure, you can ask your commanding officer to clarify. For more information, please see our page on checking current active duty status.

If you are reservist, veteran, or a military family member, you may instead qualify for other financial services not relating to active duty financial programs.
