Oath of Exit Act

This legislation amends Title 10, United States Code, to introduce a voluntary separation oath for members of the Armed Forces. Service members may choose to take this oath prior to their retirement or other forms of separation, with the exception of separations resulting from a court-martial sentence. The proposed oath encourages separating individuals to uphold their commitment to the Constitution, preserve the values instilled during their service, and maintain their physical and mental well-being. A key component of the oath is a pledge to give and seek help from fellow veterans and to avoid bringing harm to oneself or others, directly addressing the bill's stated concern about high veteran suicide rates. This initiative aims to reinforce a sense of continued duty and community among those transitioning out of military service.
