Good responses here. The only thing I'll add is there's a provision to carry over more than 60 in very unusual circumstances. That was done for me when I had to unexpectedly depoy again to Antarctica because my relief flunked the Shrink Test. So I had to leave in July and do a different PCS the following year. Think the carry over worked out to be an extra 15 days or so. I really needed some down time after my 3rd trip, so it came in handy.

Had 79. Then I had 60 without taking any.

It is that simple. Take it or lose it.

CSM Charles Hayden - I lost 19 days. While in college and on active duty we were off when school was not in session. We could not take leave (except for emergency leave) when schools was in session. We had to take leave if we left the area. But, since I did not leave the area there was no reason to take leave. I took 30 days after school and commissioning but I still had 79 days at the end of the fiscal year. Hence I lost 19 days.

Over 60 days at the end of the FY, means you have only 60 then.

PTDY is a different DA31. You can use for PCS, just make sure your balance is 60 days or less when the new FY starts.

I have seen it done many different ways. You are right, you are supposed to:
Write in the comments section of your DA31 2 things.
1) SM is traveling XXX amount of days, approx XXXX miles.
2) SM is requesting 10 days of Permissive TDY.

Your gaining unit will probably throw their own twist on it, because the reg is a bit ambiguous. I always talk to both losing, and gaining unit orderly rooms to make sure we are all tracking. The chargeable leave section is where you have to watch.
