1. Entries to join personnel who are returning from a desertion status will be reported based on the current status of the Marine as shown below.  In the case of personnel who entered into a desertion status while attached to another unit and are being returned to either the parent reporting unit or the attached unit, only the parent unit can report the join from desertion.  A join from desertion entry will automatically terminate a Marine's Temporary Additional Duty and/or FAP status.

a.  Deserters who are being joined while still UA and are IHFA or IHCA.

b.  All other deserters will be joined.

c.  Pay and allowances do not accrue to an enlisted member while subject to military control after the expiration of his/her enlistment unless the member is acquitted and is therefore considered to have been held for the convenience of the government.

2. Deserters who are IHFA/IHCA will be joined as of the date they commenced the period of IHFA/IHCA.  Although the Join statement will enable the reporting unit to report information on the Marine into MCTFS, MCTFS record will show the Marine in an IHFA/IHCA status.
