Retired or discharged military members CO will send all original documents from members file to CGPC-adm-3 within ___ working days.

• A. 5 working days
• B. 2 working days
• C. 15 working days
• D. 30 working days

Answer: (A)

When a member retires or is discharged, the commanding officer must forward all original documents from the member’s file to CGPC-adm-3 within five working days. This timeframe keeps the records moving promptly so the personnel office can finalize the transition, ensure benefits and eligibility actions aren’t delayed, and maintain file integrity. Two working days is typically too short for collecting, verifying, and shipping the documents, while fifteen or thirty working days would unnecessarily slow the handoff and could impact timely benefits processing. Remember that “working days” count excludes weekends and holidays.
