Avoid future problem of going AWOL. File your letter of resignation.

Which is likely required by your new employer.

If you went AWOL, now that won't look good with your new employer or any employer for that matter. And your now in a dilemma as your new employer would require you to submit this 2316. This has been ask to me so many times. The problem arises when you pointed out in your interview that you were employed before and naturally you would also be asked how long you were with your previous employer.
