Need some advice. I have a intra-post transfer report date of 10MAY2023 (no orders yet, just projections). DA Form 5118 has been submitted to get orders. The question is, how should leave form reflect if I am early reporting. The plan is to report 60 days early, which I am already in the process of talking to HRC about and SHOULD be approved. But in the mean time, if I am intra-post transferring and reporting early, how should the leave form be? Should it be 1 day of leave at the 60 day mark or should it be 60 days which covers the entire early reporting date up to the report NLT date that will be on the orders? The only thing that I have seen regulation wise refers to permanent change of station and not necessarily to intra-post transfer. I have also heard that leave for intra-post transfer is limited to 15 days, hence the confusion.

4–7. Leave in conjunction with permanent change of station

a. A DA Form 31 must be used with PCS reassignments, even if the Soldier will depart from the losing unit on the same day he or she reports to the gaining unit.

b. The DA Form 31 will cover from date of departure from losing unit to reporting date in orders, even if early report is authorized. The TO date on the DA Form 31 must be the same day as the reporting date in the PCS orders. Permission to report early does not change the reporting date.
