DO NOT PROCESS TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT- Officers must complete all applicable official travel forms and should submit travel vouchers and forms through the new OPDIV/Program/Agency’s finance office. Contact the OPDIV/Program/Agency administrative or finance office or Commissioned Corps Liaison for specific guidelines and/or instructions.

Example: An effective day of 1 May and a reporting day of 5 May allows 4 official travel days for reimbursement purposes (1 May through 4 May).
