Leave in Conjunction with PCS - S-1 Procedural Page

Role and responsibility

The losing unit S-1 processes the leave-in-conjunction-with-PCS authorization per MCO 1050.3JMCO 1050.3J Chapter 2 paragraph 10. The S-1 chief validates accrued leave and processes the travel order leave authorization. The S-1 officer signs by direction on the leave order when delegated. The gaining unit S-1 processes the receiving endorsement per Chapter 4 Section 6.

Source documents flow from the PCS order, the Marine's MCTFS accrued leave balance, the travel order, and the leave-in-conjunction request. PCS leave transactions land in MOL and MCTFS. Outputs include the leave order, the travel order leave authorization per Chapter 4 Section 3, the Delay En Route entry per Chapter 4 Section 4, and the receiving endorsement at the gaining unit per Chapter 4 Section 6.

Per MCO 1050.3JMCO 1050.3J Chapter 2 paragraph 10 (Leave In Conjunction With Permanent), Marines taking leave between PCS detach and PCS join are in chargeable status throughout the leave period. Per Chapter 4 Section 3 (Travel Order Leave Authorization), the travel order documents the leave authority. Per Chapter 4 Section 4 (Delay En Route), the rules apply to authorized travel pauses.

Systems of record and forms

Systems

• MCTFS. Holds chargeable leave state during PCS travel.
• MOL. Captures PCS leave order.
• UD-MIPS. Cuts the leave transaction.
• TFSMS. Holds the PCS gain and loss state.

Forms

• PCS Order. Source for the leave-in-conjunction request.
• Travel Order Leave Authorization. Per Chapter 4 Section 3.
• Delay En Route Authorization. Per Chapter 4 Section 4.
• Receiving Endorsement. Per Chapter 4 Section 6.
• NAVMC 10274 Application for Leave or Liberty. Standard leave request.

Common pitfalls

• Leave authorized exceeding accrued balance during PCS. Per MCO 1050.3JMCO 1050.3J Chapter 2 paragraph 10, leave runs against accrued balance. Validate before authorization.
• Travel Order Leave Authorization skipped. Per Chapter 4 Section 3, the travel order documents the leave authority. Process at PCS order receipt.
• Delay En Route not authorized formally. Per Chapter 4 Section 4, Delay En Route requires authorization. The S-1 chief processes.
• Receiving endorsement skipped at gaining unit. Per Chapter 4 Section 6, the endorsement closes the travel order. Process on arrival.
• Marine arrives at gaining unit past leave window. UA status risk emerges. The S-1 chief tracks via PCS leave roster.

Decision points

• Leave duration during PCS. The Marine requests leave longer than typical. The losing commander authorizes per accrued balance and per Chapter 2 paragraph 10.
• Delay En Route versus regular leave. Per Chapter 4 Section 4, Delay En Route is a specific authorized pause. The S-1 officer routes per the right category.
• Extension during PCS travel. The Marine requests extension. The losing or gaining commander authorizes per paragraph 10 timing.
