S. Baird Director, Navy Military Pay System q Navy Finance Center L7 New Federal Office Building Cleveland, Ohio 44199 Dear Captain Baird: Navy personnel officers are using different criteria to establish proceed and travel time entitlements when members transfer between activities in the same locality. Annually, an estimated 40,000 officers and enlisted personnel make such transfers. With the variety of local policies currently in effect they may or may not receive 4 days proceed time and I day travel time, even though transferring under identical conditions. This could have a twofold effect -- time given to some members who do not need it and denied to others who do, resulting in inequities and ineffective use of manpower. The Bureau of Naval Personnel has issued proceed and travel time instructions. However, these don't explain the purpose of proceed time or define metropolitan area -- the travel time boundary. Other factors also contribute to the confusion surrounding proceed time: (1) Bureau instructions for enlisted personnel don't cover all types of local transfers, (2) the Bureau has issued conflictin instructions to some activities, and (3) different entitle- ments are extended to officers and enlisted personnel. Our findings are suimmarized below: PROCEED TIME Proceed time is defined in the Joint Travel Regulations as a period during which military personnel are authorized to delay the execution of travel orders.' No further explanation is given. BEST DOCUMENT AVAILABLE ElL~Cj i( I--, 38i.7
