If my losing unit authorized PTDY, and my PCS leave and PTDY is all on the same DA 31, do I sign in to my new unit before I take the 10 days?

I’ve heard both ways. I just don’t want to get in trouble for not signing in when I should have.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member: I don't want you to get into trouble either. I so wish that I could help you. But, I will pray for you.

In case it matters after my 10 days of ptdy I will still have about 5 days before my reporting date. So I wouldn’t miss that.

No you don't, but usually you will have to go to the housing office of your gaining installation to have them sign on your leave form since permissive TDY is for the purpose of house hunting. Or else you can sign in at your unit and take it then

Bottom line is, you must report to your new unit NO LATER THAN the report listed on the PCS orders. Losing unit can not authorize any leave or PTDY beyond the report date. Go to the housing office on your gaining installation to have them stamp the date you went in. That will start the clock on your 10 days PTDY, but again it can not exceed the report date. If you sign in early to the gaining unit and do NOT use your PTDY, then the gaining unit can authorize PTDY. Hope that helps, if not send me an email on global and I’ll see if Incam further help clarify.
