Q: Plea of NJP + ADSEP after my EAS.
I was placed on legal hold a week before my EAS for UA and Disobeying an order. I signed a plea saying that I agreed to be NJPd and AdSep without a board. When will they let me go? My EAS is July 15, Legal Officer said most likely in October. Is this possible? Could they keep me for longer? I have a job set up for Nov. 1st. I’ve not been presented with admin sep paperwork yet.

A:
It sounds like you are in a tough situation. Even though your EAS was on July 15, being placed on legal hold for UA and disobeying an order can delay your separation. The timeline given by the Legal Officer, suggesting you might be released in October, is possible since administrative separation processes can take time, especially if you agreed to NJP and AdSep without a board.
You mentioned not yet receiving the admin separation paperwork, which is necessary for the process to move forward. The delay in receiving these documents can extend your time on legal hold. It's important to stay in close contact with your Legal Officer to ensure you are updated on any progress or additional requirements.
If you have a job lined up for November 1st, make sure to inform your potential employer about the possible delay in your availability. While the process can be frustrating, maintaining clear communication with all parties involved will help you manage your expectations and plans. Stay proactive in following up on your case to ensure a timely resolution.
