NAVY SPONSOR PROGRAM
Upon receiving your orders, contact your
personnel office to ensure it has the necessary details
about your move and personal status while you are
en route to your new duty station.
Under the Navy Sponsor Program, your personnel
office should forward information on your mode of
travel, expected date of arrival, family status, and
other details to the personnel office at your new
command.
Your new command will communicate
with you.
If you desire, your new command will
assign you a sponsor. The sponsor will do everything
possible to make your transfer easier.
EXECUTING YOUR ORDERS
When executing your orders, you may encounter
circumstances that require your interpretation.
Because of the space required to cover all exceptions,
we will cover only the basic details of proceed, travel,
and leave time. If you do not understand any aspects
of your orders, check with your personnel office for
immediate clarification; otherwise, you may
unknowingly lead yourself astray.
PROCEED TIME
“Proceed time” is a period of time not chargeable
as leave, delay, or allowed travel time. Proceed time
is granted for the purpose of helping you make the
required personal arrangements inherent in certain
permanent change of station (PCS) orders.
The
amount of proceed time permitted depends upon the
urgency of the transfer, but will not exceed 4 days.
The word proceed is synonymous with the phrase
commence travel status and should not be construed
as entitlement to proceed time.
Proceed time is authorized only when members
are executing PCS orders to or from the specific types
of commands outlined in article 1810300 of the
MILPERSMAN.
Refer to table 2-1 for additional
information about proceed time.
TRAVEL TIME
If your orders require travel, they will specify the
number of days authorized for travel. Travel time is
allowed in addition to proceed or delay time. Travel
time is computed in whole days on the basis of travel
over a usually traveled route by a facility offering
through service. Travel time for travel within the 48
contiguous United States and the District of Columbia
is computed based on the figures presented in
table 2-1. Finding the correct distances may present a
problem. We suggest you check the official mileage
tables at your personnel office or transportation
office. You cannot accumulate either proceed time or
travel time for later use.
LEAVE
Any delay authorized in permanent change of
station orders in excess of allowed proceed time
and/or travel time is chargeable as leave.
Leave,
proceed time, and travel time are charged in that order
following your day of detachment. If you report to
your new duty station before your required reporting
date, you will only be charged leave for the number of
days between your detachment date and your
reporting date—less any authorized proceed and/or
travel time. This unused leave is credited to your
leave account. You earn leave at a rate of 2 1/2 days
per calendar month. You may use your leave at any
time, pending your commanding officer’s approval.
Assume you must report to your new command
not later than 18 August.
Your orders authorize
4 days’ proceed time, 3 days’ travel, and 10 days’
leave.
You detach from your old command on
1 August.
