In summary, if you report to your next command
within the maximum time allowed, you will save the
corresponding number of days of leave. Leave may
be accumulated and carried forward to the next fiscal
year up to a maximum of 60 days.
In special
circumstances 90 days’ special leave accrual may be
authorized for deployable units if deployed more than
120 consecutive days.
NROTC RESERVE AND RESERVE
OFFICERS REPORTING FROM
CIVILIAN LIFE
If you are an NROTC graduate who did not
immediately report to active duty upon graduation or
a Reserve officer appointed from civil life to your first
duty, your orders will tell you to report to a certain
command on a certain date. Since you are in a nonpay
status when you receive your orders, you will not be
authorized leave or proceed time. If you arrive a few
days late, you simply are not paid for those days.
(You may be disciplined if the delay is not excused.)
When you report, you are placed in a pay status and
are entitled to receive pay for travel from your home
of record to your duty station.
FIGURING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF
YOUR ORDERS
The effective date of your orders is important if
your dependents are moving with you to your first
duty station. The dependency must exist on or before
the effective date of your orders; otherwise, the
government will not pay dependent transportation
expenses. (The next section deals with the details of
reimbursement.)
The effective date of your orders is the date you
must begin travel by the mode of transportation
authorized and/or used to report to your new duty
station by the time stated on the orders from your last
permanent station or your last temporary duty station
(if any) named in your orders.
Assume you receive orders that require travel
within the continental United States. You must report
to your new duty station not later than 2 February.
You are authorized 16 days’ leave and the applicable
amount of travel time. The official highway distance
to your duty station is 530 miles. Therefore, you are
authorized 2 days’ travel time by privately owned
conveyance (POC) or 1 day’s travel by commercial
2-8
