Separations: The process updates and ends which item?

Explanation:
The item that is updated and ended is the Current Period of Service. When someone separates from service, their active time in the current period comes to an end, so this field is closed out and no longer progresses. The other data points aren’t ending due to separation: Retirement Points Total is a cumulative measure used for retirement calculations and remains part of the record, Highest Grade Held is a historical credential that stays on file, and Incapacitation Status may be updated for medical reasons but is not the specific item the separation action terminates.
