Which statement about unused leave when extending is true?

When you extend your service, unused leave is not paid out right away. Leave is paid only when you actually separate or retire from the Air Force. Extending simply adds more time to your service and carries the unused leave forward toward your new end date. So the statement that the Air Force does not pay members for unused leave when they extend is correct. The idea of a payout during extension or forfeiture of unused leave during extension doesn’t apply, since payout happens at separation/retirement, not during an extension.
