Summary

Adds a voluntary "separation oath" to federal law that members of the Armed Forces may choose to take before retirement or other separations (except when separated under a court-martial sentence). It revises the statutory text of 10 U.S.C. § 502 to include the new oath wording, adjusts subsection labeling, and updates the section heading and table of sections to show that §502 covers both enlistment and separation oaths and who may administer them.

• Establishes an optional separation oath that service members may take before retirement or other separations.
• Does not apply to separations that result from a court-martial sentence.
• Amends 10 U.S.C. § 502 by inserting the new oath text and adjusting subsection lettering.
• Updates the section heading and title 10 table of sections to cover both enlistment and separation oaths and who may administer them.
• The oath is voluntary, so it does not change benefits, entitlements, or separation eligibility.
• No new funding or appropriations are specified; changes are administrative and ceremonial.
• Military departments will likely need minor procedural updates (forms, ceremony guidance, records).
• Potential administrative/legal considerations include documentation practices and protections against coercion, but the text establishes voluntary participation.
