Travel to OHARP

Huneph

PPC/MC
I'm just curious if your travel from OCS to your home is covered if you're given OHARP? I'm an SNA and just wondered if I need to have the cash to travel home or if it's partly covered by Travel expenses since I'll most likely be getting OHARP. Also what's the maximum amount of OHARP you can get?

There is an OHARP instruction. You should read it.

When I did OHARP in 2008 OHARP was no-cost TAD. That means no cost to the government. Odds are that it's the same, but you really should google the instruction and get it.

Google tips:
1. use "site:navy.mil" to limit your results to only Navy sites. There are lots of spoof sites that say they have Navy regs but they don't.
2. Don't use Bing. Bing preferentially gives you spoof site results.

Look at @Beans ' response and report back to everyone what the answer is. More than likely someone else with the same question.

OHARP is technically no cost, but you get partial BAH (~$700 a month) and it looks like the Navy is now coding pilot's orders down to Pensacola as a PCS move so your travel post OCS (i.e. Newport to OHARP location and then down to Pensacola) is covered, at least from my rudimentary understanding of the black magic accounting done at PSD.

Since OHARP is brought up, is there any way you can have OHARP moved somewhere else instead of your "home recruiting district" (Say LA to Boston)? I would figure it'd make more sense to stay on the east coast before having to go to Charleston for power school and most of my family is in the Boston area anyways.

You can go on no cost TAD/permissive TAD pretty much anywhere if your command approves it.

If you do a bit of legwork (basically call up the recruiting district and ask them if they would mind having you as a stash ensign... they'll more than likely accept the offer) then it makes it a lot easier for your command to approve it.

No cost means no cost to the Navy or the government. You can stay in "lodging with family or friends" or you can pay for the Waldorf Astoria out of your own pocket, it doesn't make a difference in the travel regulations for no cost TAD.

I've seen people go on permissive TAD to triathlons and those mud races, and other stuff with a tenuous connection to the military. Making something legal is a lot easier when it's free to the government.
