Proceed time is only for going to/coming from Sea duty, I believe. At least, that's what the chuckleheads at Anacostia are telling me.
So Goober, if I check in before the workday is over, say 1400, that day still counts as a travel day? I'm about to PCS, and all the sudden, this thread is making me re-think my travel plan.
Let's pretend you're making a PCS from Unit A to Unit B on a Monday. If it's one day's travel away, say JAX to P'cola with one travel day allotted (I'm making it up - I really have no idea how many days they would allot, but we'll use it for the example), and you check in on Monday the SAME day you leave JAX, fine. If you check in on Tuesday, you would have used the one travel day allowed. If you check in Wednesday, you would have used the one travel day plus one day of leave which will be charged, and so on for additional days of delay in reporting. It doesn't matter what time you check in provided it's done on the DATE you were supposed to check in. Your orders have to specify the number of allowed travel days, and they are normally allotted based on the mode of travel (POV vs. gov't purchased airfare, etc.).
Personal example - my latest PCS was across town from Oceana to Norfolk. It was on orders for a Nov detach, Nov report with
no travel days allowed. My detach date was the day after Thanksgiving to arrive at the squadron two days after the change of command so as to not dork up the change of command fitrep numbers, and my old command had already done the detach endorsement for my orders for that Friday in advance. Fine. I'm working on the post-Thanksgiving food coma, entertaining the wife's relatives the next day, and all that when I start thinking "Is there something I was supposed to do today? Ehh, whatever." It dawns on me at 11:30 that night, "Oh shit, I was supposed to check in today." Throw on a bag, boots, and off I go. Orders stamped by squadron ASDO at something like 10 mins to midnight, a quick "see you all on Monday," and back to the house I go. Result=didn't burn an extra day of leave.
