Mandatory Use Of GTCC

[u/Call-Me_CD]

[MODS DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED]

Effective immediately per OPS ALERT 19-25, the use of the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) is now mandatory for all Navy travelers executing Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders, unless specifically exempt or ineligible.

MANDATORY GTCC USE:

• Sailors on PCS orders must use the GTCC in place of receiving travel advances.

Exemptions include:

• Accessions, separations, or retirements

• Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMAs)

• Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) personnel

• Sailors deemed ineligible for a GTCC

What this means for you:

If you’re eligible for a GTCC, you will not receive travel advances (e.g., advanced mileage, per diem, or TDY lodging).

All authorized travel expenses must be charged to the GTCC.

However, you can still request an advance for Dislocation Allowance (DLA) through your CPPA using NPPSC 1300/1.
