Never Processed Your Resignation	comment	A military officer, or a police officer, or an intelligence agent, resigns their commission, leaves, goes deal with the thing that prompted them to resign. They resolve that situation, then they go to their former superior to ask to be allowed to return to duty. But that's unnecessary, because the superior just didn't get around to sending the resignation letter to the appropriate channels. Maybe the letter never even left the superior's desk. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It doesn't count for this trope if the officer or agent threatens to resign but takes no formal steps to resign, such as writing a resignation letter or surrendering a badge and service pistol. It does count if the superior becomes unable to process the resignation for whatever reason. This is different from Resignations Not Accepted, in which the officer or agent would not actually be allowed to retire under any circumstance.

Never Processed Your Resignation / int_45854dfc	comment	Starship Troopers: While still in boot camp, Johnny Rico resigns from the Mobile Infantry. As he's leaving the camp, the Arachnids drop an asteroid on Buenos Aires. Johnny tries to cancel his resignation, but the commanding officer says that Johhny has already signed the form and it wouldn't be legal. Johnny tells him that his entire family was in Buenos Aires when it was destroyed. Drill Sergeant Zim (with the commanding officer's implicit consent) says that Rico's signature on the resignation papers doesn't look like his and tears up the papers, allowing Johnny to stay in boot camp.

Stackpole, the New Republic refuses to authorize a military operation to capture the bacta-producing planet Thyferra from Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard, believing Warlord Zsinj a greater threat. Rogue Squadron resigns en masse to conduct their own private war against Isard, which takes up book four, The Bacta War (also by Stackpole). Upon returning to Coruscant in Wraith Squadron by Aaron Allston, the Rogues find out their resignations were "accidentally" misfiled and the New Republic has retroactively declared the whole endeavor an official operation.

Never Processed Your Resignation / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: In "Forever in a Day", Daniel resigns from the SGC after his wife Sha're's death. This is partly because finding her was his purpose in being there in the first place, and partly because he doesn't want to deal with Teal'c, who killed her to save Daniel. Later in the episode when he wants to come back, General Hammond claims to have forgotten to process his resignation anyway.

M later calmly tells Bond that his request is granted, which surprises him—he thought M would be angry. He then checks the paperwork and finds out that Moneypenny submitted a request for two weeks' leave instead, which was why M was so unconcerned.

Never Processed Your Resignation / int_cac20f89	comment	JAG Season 3: Mac leaves Navy JAG to practice law at a civilian law firm. But when she decides to return to JAG (in "People v. Rabb"), it turns out Admiral Chegwidden never processed her resignation. Mac can return to duty as if nothing really happened, she just used up her leave time. The trope is played with or subverted in Season 9, when Rabb is shocked to find that Chegwidden did process his resignation quite promptly and now Rabb must now go do something other than be a lawyer in the Navy.
