Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the NAVCOMPT 3065 form?

The NAVCOMPT 3065 form, also known as the Leave Request/Authorization form, is utilized to authorize military leave of absence. Its main purpose is to document the granting of leave to military personnel, track leave taken, and ensure that leave is properly deducted from the member's accrued balance.

Who needs to complete the NAVCOMPT 3065 form?

This form must be completed by any military service member requesting leave from their duties. It requires personal and service-related information to be filled out precisely to ensure the leave is authorized and recorded correctly.

How is the NAVCOMPT 3065 form filled out?

Filling out the NAVCOMPT 3065 form involves several steps:

  1. Use a ballpoint pen or typewriter to complete the form in triplicate, ensuring all copies are legible.
  2. Provide the appropriate data in blocks 1, and 3 through 21, leaving block 2 for administrative use.

  4. Include normal working hours for departure and return days in block 16.
  5. Refer to your latest Leave and Earnings Statement or your activity's Commanding Officer for information needed in blocks 17 and 18.

What happens after the NAVCOMPT 3065 form is filled out?

Once completed, the form must be submitted through official channels for approval. Upon authorization, the original leave authorization must be returned to the designated office at your command immediately after returning from leave.

Is completion of the NAVCOMPT 3065 form mandatory for leave?

Yes, accurately completing and submitting the NAVCOMPT 3065 form is mandatory for the authorization of any military leave. Leave will not be granted if this form is not properly filled out and approved.

What are some important reminders when on leave as per the NAVCOMPT 3065 form instructions?

The form underscores several crucial reminders for service members while on leave:

  • Maintain communication and inform your commanding officer of any permanent change of leave address.
  • Save enough money or secure a round-trip ticket to ensure return transportation.
  • Do not discuss classified information with the public or participate in media engagements without prior approval.
  • Cooperate with all military and civilian authorities.
  • If necessary, request an extension of leave through telegram and ensure you receive positive approval.

What should be done in case of illness or injury while on leave?

If you suffer a serious illness or injury requiring medical attention or hospitalization while on leave, you must immediately notify your commanding officer. If near a naval activity, advise them of your condition and status as well. Be aware that costs related to hospitalization or medical treatment received outside federal medical facilities may be covered by the Navy Department only in emergency cases.

How is leave calculated according to the NAVCOMPT 3065 form?

Leave is calculated based on the day of departure and return. The day of departure is considered a day of duty unless leave commences prior to the end of the normal workday. Conversely, the day of return is counted as a day of leave, unless the return is at or before the commencement of the normal workday, in which case it is considered a day of duty.

What is the privacy act statement mentioned in the NAVCOMPT 3065 form?

The privacy act statement is provided in compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, informing individuals that the information requested on the form is used primarily to authorize military leave of absence, deduct leave taken from the member’s accrued leave balance, and for the payment of leave rations to enlisted members. Disclosure of the information is voluntary, but mandatory for granting leave.

Common mistakes

One common mistake on the NAVCOMPT 3065 form is inaccurately reporting the dates and times in blocks 14 and 15 for the start and end of leave. The instructions clearly state that the starting hour must not precede the end of the normal workday if the leave starts on a workday. Similarly, the ending hour should not be beyond the beginning of the normal workday upon return. Ensuring these times are accurately reported can help avoid confusion and ensure leave is properly documented.

Another frequent error involves block 17, the leave balance, and block 18, the leave used this fiscal year. Individuals often input incorrect information due to a lack of understanding of their current leave status. Accurate entries in these blocks are crucial for the proper management of the leave balance. It is recommended to refer to the latest Leave and Earnings Statement or the Commanding Officer's Leave Listing for accurate information.

Ration status in block 21 often gets overlooked. For enlisted members, accurately indicating whether commuted rations (COMRATS) are warranted is essential. This detail affects entitlements and deductions and should not be disregarded. Taking the time to understand and correctly indicate one's ration status ensures proper processing of leave requests.

The mode of travel indicated in block 12 is another area prone to mistakes. Individuals sometimes fail to specify their mode of travel clearly or choose a method that may not be feasible for their journey. Being precise and realistic about travel plans can prevent misunderstandings and facilitate smoother transitions into and out of leave periods.

Lastly, the certification of sufficient funds in block 22 often sees errors due to a lack of awareness. Applicants must affirm they have enough money for round-trip travel. This assertion is more than a formality; it's a necessary confirmation to prevent financial issues during leave. Ensuring this section is completed truthfully and thoughtfully is crucial for a worry-free leave.

Documents used along the form

When military personnel fill out the Navcompt 3065 form for leave requests or authorizations, it's often part of a broader administrative process that can include several other forms and documents. These documents ensure that all aspects of a service member's leave, from financial readiness to travel arrangements, are thoroughly documented and approved according to military regulations.

  • Leave and Earnings Statement (LES): This document provides a detailed record of a service member's pay, entitlements, deductions, and leave balance. It's crucial for verifying the amount of leave accrued, which helps in planning leave periods and ensuring compliance with leave policies.
  • Emergency Contact Information Sheet: While not always a formal form, providing up-to-date emergency contact information is essential whenever a service member goes on leave. This information aids in quickly contacting the right individuals in case of an emergency.
  • Travel Itinerary: For those planning to travel during their leave, a detailed travel itinerary may need to be submitted. This helps the command understand a service member's whereabouts and can assist in recall situations or when emergency contact is necessary.
  • Request for Advance Pay Form: If a service member requires financial assistance for travel or other leave-related expenses, they may need to file this form requesting advance pay. It's designed to ensure service members have the necessary funds for their leave, reducing financial stress.

Each document plays a significant role in the leave request process, complementing the Navcompt 3065 form to ensure that service members and their commands have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the leave being taken. These documents work together to facilitate a smooth and structured approach to military leave, ensuring that all administrative and operational considerations are addressed.

Similar forms

The Department of Defense Form 214, commonly known as the DD Form 214, shares similarities with the Navcompt 3065 form in several respects. Both documents are pivotal within the realm of military administration, serving to officially record specific details related to an individual's service. The DD Form 214 is used to summarize a service member's military career, including the terms of discharge or separation, much like the Navcompt 3065 form is used for authorizing and documenting leave periods. This foundational document is crucial for veterans when seeking employment, applying for loans, and accessing veteran benefits, mirroring the Navcompt 3065's role in managing leave entitlements and ensuring service members comply with military leave policies.

The Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) shares a functional connection to the Navcompt 3065 form, as both documents handle aspects of a service member's leave. The LES provides a comprehensive monthly overview of a service member's pay, entitlements, deductions, allotments, and leave data. Similar to the Navcompt 3065, which tracks the leave requested and taken within a fiscal year, the LES informs service members of their leave balance, crucial for planning. This detailed record allows for a transparent tracking system of leave earned versus leave taken, ensuring service members can manage their leave responsibly.

The Request for Authorization of Military Training (DD Form 1556) parallels the Navcompt 3065 in its core purpose of requesting official approval, albeit in a different context. While the Navcompt 3065 form is utilized for leave authorization within the military, the DD Form 1556 seeks approval for attending military-sponsored training. Both forms require detailed information about the individual's status, intended schedule, and specific authorization signatures, underscoring the structured nature of administrative requests within military operations.

The Standard Form 180, or SF-180, similarly to the Navcompt 3065, is integral to service member administration by facilitating the request for and release of military records. Though the SF-180 is primarily used by veterans or their next of kin to obtain copies of military service records or prove military service, akin to how the Navcompt 3065 form documents leave, both forms are essential in maintaining accurate records of a service member's military history and administrative actions taken during their career.

The Application for VA Education Benefits (VA Form 22-1990) is related to the Navcompt 3065 in the way it serves service members' specific benefits. While the Navcompt 3065 facilitates leave periods, the VA Form 22-1990 allows service members and veterans to access educational benefits earned through military service. Each document requires the applicant to provide personal and service-related details to process the request effectively, highlighting the individualized nature of military benefits and entitlements administration.

The Travel Voucher or Subvoucher (DD Form 1351-2) shares a logistical connection with the Navcompt 3065. This form is used by service members to claim reimbursement for official travel expenses, bearing resemblance to how the Navcompt 3065 manages leave requests and authorizations, two processes integral to plan and account for movements within the military sphere. By documenting specific details of travel or leave and securing appropriate approvals, both forms ensure adherence to military protocols and budgetary considerations.

Emergency Data Form (DD Form 93) and the Navcompt 3065 form are linked by their critical role in managing service members' personal information. The DD Form 93 is used to record emergency contact information and beneficiaries for military personnel, similar to how the Navcompt 3065 includes details pertinent to an individual's leave status. Although serving different primary purposes, both forms collect and officially record information vital for administrative and personal readiness within the military framework.

The Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ), while not a form in the traditional sense, is a comprehensive file that houses various documents similar to the Navcompt 3065. The MPRJ contains personnel records, orders, qualifications, and other administrative documents pertinent to a service member's career. The inclusion of the Navcompt 3065 form within the MPRJ would provide a documented history of leave requests and authorizations, illustrating the form’s role in the broader context of military personnel management.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Navcompt 3065 form, known as the Leave Request/Authorization, there are specific steps and precautions one should take to ensure the process is smooth and the submission is correct. Here are ten key tips to guide you through both what you should and shouldn't do:

Do:

  1. Ensure all personal information is accurate, including your name, Social Security Number (SSN), and contact details, to prevent any delays or issues with your leave request.

  2. Fully understand the types of leave available and select the one that best suits your situation, whether it be for emergency, sick leave, or regular leave.

  3. Confirm your leave balance by consulting your latest Leave and Earnings Statement or checking with the commanding officer's leave listing to avoid requesting more leave than you have available.

  4. Be clear and precise when filling in your departure and return dates and times, adhering to the guidelines about working hours and non-workdays.

  5. Provide a contact address and phone number where you can be reached during your leave, as maintaining communication is essential.

Don't:

  1. Leave any fields blank if they are applicable to your situation. Incomplete forms may result in processing delays or a denial of your leave request.

  2. Forget to sign and date the form where required. A signature is necessary to validate the form, and unsigned forms will not be processed.

  3. Ignore the need to immediately inform your commanding officer of any changes to your leave status, including extensions or early returns.

  4. Fail to plan for your transportation needs, both for departing on leave and returning, as advised in the instructions. Ensure you have the means for round-trip travel.

  5. Disregard the privacy act statement. Understanding how your information is used and protected is an important aspect of filling out any official document.

Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure your leave request is correctly filled out, submitted without delays, and processed smoothly, allowing you to focus on the upcoming time off from your duties.

Misconceptions

When it comes to military documentation, forms like the Navcompt 3065 can often be misunderstood. Here are seven common misconceptions about this form:

  • The form is only for long-term leave. Actually, the Navcompt 3065 is used for any type of leave, regardless of its duration. Whether it’s a short weekend away or an extended period of leave, this form is required.
  • Approval is guaranteed once submitted. Submission of the Navcompt 3065 does not automatically mean your leave will be approved. It’s subject to approval based on various factors, including operational requirements.
  • It's complicated to fill out. While the form may seem daunting at first glance, detailed instructions are provided on page 2. Following these guidelines helps simplify the process.
  • You can’t make changes once it’s submitted. If your plans change or there’s a mistake on your form, it’s possible to submit amendments. Communication with your superior is key in these situations.
  • The form is only for enlisted personnel. Both enlisted members and officers use the Navcompt 3065 for leave requests. It applies to all ranks within the service.
  • Leave addresses are optional. The leave address is actually a critical part of the form, ensuring that you can be contacted if needed while away from your post.
  • Emergency leave requires a different form. While emergency situations may expedite the approval process, the same Navcompt 3065 form is used for all leave types, including emergencies.

Understanding how to correctly fill out and use the Navcompt 3065 form is crucial for service members planning to take leave. Dispelling these misconceptions ensures that the process runs smoothly for both the individual and their command.

Filling out the Navcompt 3065 form, also known as the Leave Request/Authorization form, is an essential step for service members planning to take leave. Understanding how to properly complete and utilize this form ensures a smooth leave process. Here are key takeaways to guide you:

  • Always use a ballpoint pen or a typewriter when filling out the form to ensure all copies are legible.
  • The form requires specific information, including your social security number, name, paygrade, and duty station, among other details.
  • Do not fill in the 'FOR ADMIN. USE ONLY' section; this part is reserved for administrative purposes.
  • It's mandatory to declare your mode of travel and whether your leave involves leaving the continental United States (CONUS) or not.
  • Be precise about the dates and hours of departure and return. This information directly affects your leave balance and should match your travel plans.
  • Understanding your leave balance is crucial. Ensure you have enough leave accrued to cover your request without going into a negative balance, unless authorized.
  • Your leave address and contact information during leave are essential for keeping in touch, especially in emergencies or for recall purposes.
  • Getting your leave approved requires a signature from your commanding officer, so request leave well in advance to allow for processing time.
  • Upon your return, you must immediately submit your leave authorization to the designated office in your command for processing and adjustment of your leave record.
  • The operation of vehicles during leave should be done responsibly, obeying all local laws and being mindful of the common causes of accidents as mentioned in the form, including excessive speed and driving while fatigued.

Remember, this form is your official leave authorization. Keep it safe and easily accessible throughout your leave period. Furthermore, if you encounter any unexpected issues while on leave, such as medical emergencies or delays in your return, promptly communicate with your commanding officer to address the situation according to the guidelines provided in the form.
