TRAVEL TIME
PROCEED TIME
LEAVE
All
Time computed on distances is
determined from official
mileage tables; otherwise,
time computation is based on
shortest travel route shown in
commercial carrier or
automobiles guides. Time is
counted in whole days, 24
hours; that is, the whole 24
hours or nothing.
A period of time (not
chargeable as leave,
delay, or allowed
travel time) granted for
the purpose of making
necessary personal
arrangements inherent
in certain permanent
change of station
orders.
See MILPERSMAN, article
3020020 for complete
explanation of the various
types of leave: annual, earned
convalescent, advance, excess,
and so forth.
Naval Academy
Graduates*
Same as for officer
indoctrination school (OIS)
below. Orders to USNA
graduates usually specify a
definite date to report, thus
eliminating travel time.
Travel time allowable to first
duty station is computed on
the basis of the official
distance and the mode of
travel authorized.
Not entitled to proceed
time.
Graduates of USNA and
ROTC may be given up to 30
days graduation leave, which
must be taken after graduation
in connection with first orders
as an officer and must be
completed within 3 months of
date of graduation. Such leave
cannot be saved and used
later. Present Navy practice is
to allow some delay to count
as graduation leave. That
varies according to individual
circumstances.
Officer
indoctrination
school, aviation
officer candidate
(AOC) school,
and officer
candidate school
(OCS)
(Including
integrated
students)
Air (government or commer-
cial): One day for anywhere in
continental United States.
Time can be extended if delay
is necessary because of mode
of travel; personal conveni-
ence does not count. If travel
is part by air and part by other
means, time is computed by a
combination of methods.
Travel time is computed on
the following standards:
Commercial air—
1 day for travel anywhere in
48 states. Divide official
distance by 500. Dividend
equals hours travel time (18
hours = 1 day). If any
remainder, add 1 more day
travel.
OIS and AOC are not
entitled to proceed
time to first permanent
duty station.
Any leave earned in enlisted
status will be carried over to
commissioned status. Hence,
any leave granted for delay
en route will be charged as
annual leave.
An officer reporting earlier
than required will save the
leave for a later date. Present
practice is to authorize 10 days
delay charged as annual leave.
*Because of graduation leave, travel time of Annapolis graduates does not affect pay or leave accumulation; however, it does affect
the effective dates of orders, which can be of interest to those about to be married.
