The member will be required to reimburse the Navy for
such transportation.
The member may be given cash to purchase
transportation, meals, and necessary transportation
between terminals or installations. This will be paid on
a Travel Voucher, DD Form 1351. The appropriation
to be charged will be based on whether or not prior
orders were issued.
Prior Orders Issued
When prior orders have been issued, we are
normally referring to those personnel traveling between
permanent or temporary duty stations. The accounting
data to be charged will be based on whether the member
was previously issued transportation or the cash
equivalent.
N O P R E V I O U S L Y I S S U E D
TRANSPORTATION.— If the member was not
previous] y issued transportation or the cash equivalent,
these may be furnished and charged to the accounting
data shown on the member’s orders. In this case, no
checkage of the member’s pay is necessary.
P R E V I O U S L Y
I S S U E D
TRANSPORTATION.— On the other hand, when
transportation (or the cash equivalent) was previously
furnished and the traveler is now stranded without
funds, reimbursement must be made to the government.
The appropriation on the member’s orders will still be
charged for any transportation furnished but will be
collected by an offsetting checkage from the member’s
pay account made by a Pay Adjustment Authorization,
DD Form 139.
Similar procedures are required when a member has
lost his or her ticket or has been separated from his or
her transportation.
Again, transportation will be
furnished subject to checkage from the member’s pay
account using a DD Form 139. However, a member may
submit a claim for a refired of any portion of the
transportation for which the Navy receives a refund
from the carrier on the original transportation furnished.
No Prior Orders Involved
When no prior orders were involved, all
transportation or funds provided will be charged to the
appropriation to which the member’s regular pay and
allowances are charged. The member’s pay account
will be checked using a DD Form 139 to reimburse the
appropriation.
MEMBERS DISCHARGED UNDER OTHER
THAN HONORABLE CONDITIONS
Generally, a member who is discharged under other
than honorable conditions may be provided travel and
transportation only by transportation in kind by the least
expensive mode of common carrier transportation
available. When this mode of transportation is not
available, the member may be paid an amount equal to
the cost to the government of the least expensive
common carrier transportation that would have been
furnished. Travel entitlement in these cases may be
affected by whether or not the member was under
confinement.
No Confinement Involved
When no confinement is involved, the entitlement
can be from the place of separation either to the
member’s home of record or to the place from which
the member was called to active duty. When approved,
entitlement can be even to an alternate place of the
member’s choosing, provided the cost does not exceed
the cost to the member’s home of record or place from
which he or she was called to active duty.
Confinement Involved
When confinement is involved, travel entitlement
may depend on the status of the member and the facility
in which he or she is confined.
U.S. MILITARY FACILITY.— A member who
was discharged while in confinement in a U.S. military
confinement facility qualities for travel entitlement
upon parole or final release. The entitlement covers
travel from the confinement facility to either the
member’s home of record, the place from which the
member was called to active duty, or another place
(upon approval that this would be no more costly to the
government).
NON-U.S. MILITARY FACILITIES.— The
travel entitlement is different for former members
confined in other than U.S. military facilities.
Overseas.— If the confinement facility is overseas,
the travel entitlement is limited. Coverage begins at the
place of the member’s release or from the nearest U.S.
military facility. Coverage ends at the port of
debarkation in the country within which the member’s
home of record or the place from which the member was
called to active duty is located. A port of debarkation
located in a U.S. territory or possession is also included.
