How does it work when the two individuals PRD's are really far apart(over a year) and one of the individuals already has verbals to a different location? It is my understanding that the detailers try to match the PRD's, I am just not sure how it would work with so much time in between the current PRD's. Also if anyone knows any information on OTEP and not staying the full time what happens?

Your OTEIP will not be canceled or curtailed once you execute it -- certainly not to co-locate. You're asking for OTEIP benefits for a year that was already built into your PRD, so you're not going to get that year taken off your PRD anyway.

Your DOD area tour for your overseas location will not be curtailed for co-location.

Your (or your spouse's if you're on shore duty) sea tour will not be cut for co-location.

If you are both first term Sailors, you will both (or whichever one is already there) remain on sea duty to your PRDs, at that time the detailer may work to move one of you to shore and the other one to remain on sea duty. It's unlikely both of you will end up on shore duty together.

One of you will have to extend to the other's PRD, to match the PRDs up, ultimately. Also keep in mind that "co-location" might mean one of you is in San Diego and the other one is in Lemoore, or one is in Yokosuka and one in Sasebo - I've heard of both happening.

co-location is a request, the detailers are not required to honor it, and often the detailers don't like talking to each other to work things out. We don't know yet how all these new rules will affect it either. You have to be very flexible and willing to go where the detailers want to send you. You need to get both of your 1306's in, but you also need to be talking to both of your detailers at the same time to find out what they're willing to do for you and when they're willing to do it. You're a first-term Sailor, they're not going to be looking to move you around right now.

Sounds like a job for the Command Career Counselor. Do you have one available?

Here is MILPERSMAN instruction:

Start early!

That's what I thought, but they didn't help too much other than telling us that the detailers would try to make it work and that we'd have to route a request. Both things we already knew. Thank you for the instruction.

Husband is right now but he is the one leaving first, I haven't submitted yet. I am under 3yr orders so it is just getting benefits for me not extending my time here.

The biggest thing will be Sea Shore rotation. The way the Seabees do is one on Sea and one on Shore. If there is a gap they would go with placing the senior on shore and junior still on Sea. You are going to have to make a choice in who's Sea shore you will want to sacrifice keep in mind that this could effect ones promotion's in the future sorry that is the way it is. They will extend one of you and that will be on shore side, but this will effect your future please understand that.

So I am willing to bet you are some where like Souda Bay if you are asking about OTEP. If you signed it and are extended you must serve all of the time. Those are what they call DOD service fill appointments and require mandatory time for position.

I am on 3yr orders overseas, so it is just submitting the paperwork for the benefits. But I want to know how submitting for co-lo would affect OTEP before I submit the OTEP.

To be honest I don't know you should call your detailer they are there to help. I do not think it would effect the OTEP and believe it would effect the CO-LO.

It has been awhile since I was stationed in Japan but, when I was there all first term sailors that went to Japan had 3 year orders. Like you said, it's a paperwork drill for you to recieve the OTEP benifits for that 3rd year. If it's still the same you will have 3 basic choices 30 days free leave, 15 days free leave and a plane ticket to a port of entry to US, or you could take the money. But if you didn't apply for your OTEP benifits as a first termer serving overseas you just lost your OTEP benifits, you did not get that 3rd year removed from your orders!!! As for the 1306 for CO Location, if your spouse is already under orders your detailer is the one that will have to work to get you what you need. But like others have said if he doesn't have a 1306 from you he doesn't even have to make the attempt. Remember Co Location doesn't necessarily mean driving distance apart. The most extreme case I saw was one of our Officers that was stationed in NAF Atsugi Japan. His Air Force wife was stationed in Osan Korea and that was considered Co Location for them. Another case was when one of the sailors working for me in Lemoore CA., His wife was stationed at NAS Point Magu. They saw each other on weekends. In short I'd start talking to your CC and get the 1306 request and OTEP for benifits in. More than likely the longer you wait to do the 1306, the less likely your detailer will be willing to work with you.
