Establishes a separation oath for members of the Armed Forces before retirement or separation.

The Oath of Exit Act amends title 10, United States Code, to establish a separation oath for members of the Armed Forces before retirement or other separation, excluding separation due to court-martial. The oath emphasizes continuing to protect the United States and the Constitution, preserving learned values, maintaining physical and mental health, seeking and offering help to fellow veterans, and avoiding harm to oneself or others. The bill also makes clerical amendments to section 502 of title 10, United States Code, to reflect the new separation oath.
