TIME-ON-STATION REQUIREMENT
Members who have met the time-on-station (TOS)
requirements are considered before all other members
including those who are volunteers but have not met
TOS requirements.
CONSERVATION OF FUNDS
Prime consideration in the rotation plans and
policies is the conservation of PCS funds. All cost
factors involved in the execution of PCS orders are
considered by ACAs with a view of minimizing
monetary expenditures while maximizing the use of
personnel skills and qualifications.
Assignments or reassignments involving PCS
moves are not authorized and made solely due to
passage of time, but are authorized only when required
for national security, Department of Defense (DOD)
specified tour length, or required by the Navy’s unique
sea/shore rotation policies.
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
Members are equitably distributed to all activities
by experience and skill in proportion to billets
authorized. Manning of an activity in excess of
authorized billets is not authorized unless Navywide
excesses exist in a specific distributable community.
EQUITABLE AND DIVERSIFIED
ASSIGNMENTS
Members are assigned to a variety of duty
assignments to gain the experience necessary to advance
and excel within their rating and to equitably share any
hardship duty that exists.
TRANSFERS NECESSITATED BY OR
RESTRICTED AS A RESULT OF CIVIL
INVOLVEMENT OR MILITARY
DISCIPLINARY ACTION
When a member commits, or is accused of
committing, a civil or military offense that calls for the
member’s continued presence in the area for civil or
military hearings, trials, and soon, the member must not
normally be reassigned from the area. In this case, the
following circumstances constitute reassignment:
Transfer to a new duty station.
Expiration of TAD orders from a parent activity
away from the area that would require the member’s
return to the parent activity’s locale. (In circumstances
involving military offenses only, return to parent activity
for disciplinary action may be appropriate.)
If member is attached to a mobile activity (ship,
squadron, and so on) departure of the activity from the
area.
CHNAVPERS strictly controls transfers of this
nature. Accordingly, requests for disposition
instructions in such cases must be sent via the chain of
command to CHNAVPERS (PERS 40). Requests on
nondesignated SN/FN/AN are addressed to EPMAC
with an information copy to CHNAVPERS. Requests
must include details of the circumstances surrounding
the case and recommended course of action. When a
unit’s departure is imminent, an unless otherwise
directed (UNODIR) message, including the previous
information,
should be used. Refer to the
EN LTRANSMAN, chapter 3, for additional
information.
TYPES AND LOCATIONS OF DUTY
STATIONS
Personnel are assigned to numerous locations
throughout the world. To counsel members on the types
and locations of duty stations, you need to become
familiar with various chapters in the ENLTRANSMAN
such as chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 25. Some of the
information contained in these chapters is discussed
here.
Rotation among sea, shore, and overseas activities
is directly influenced by the number of personnel
available for assignment, billets authorized, the
qualifications of the individual, TOS, and PCS funding.
Stability is enhanced by requiring members to obligate
service (OBLISERV) to complete the tours prescribed.
Using projected authorizations, personnel inventory
projections, and historical data, sea/shore tour lengths
have been developed for all distributable communities.
Overseas tour lengths have been established by the DOD
for all overseas areas where Navy personnel are
stationed and generally reflect the desirability of duty in
that area.
These tour lengths, when applied to the sea duty
commencement
date
(SDCD),
shore
duty
commencement date (SHDCD), or date of departure
from the continental United States (CONUS), determine
an individual’s PRD. The PRD is a planning date and
reassignment may occur at other than the PRD due to
participation in programs as described in the
2-12
