RMKS/1. This cancels and replaces references (a) and (b).
Effective immediately, use of the Government Travel Charge Card
(GTCC) for Permanent Change of Station (PCS) is mandatory for all
Navy travelers who are eligible for or already possess a GTCC.
2. The Department of Defense (DoD) policy is the GTCC will be used
by all eligible DoD travelers to pay for costs related to official
government travel. See section 0406 in reference (c) for exemptions
to mandatory use. Official government travel is defined as travel
under official orders while performing duties pertaining to official
government assignments such as Temporary Duty (TDY) and PCS. New
accession appointees and recruits are exempt from mandatory use of
the GTCC.
 a. Use of the GTCC for PCS travel applies to personnel who are:
 (1) Active Duty
 (2) Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR)
 (3) Selected Reservist (SELRES) executing Active Duty for
Operational Support (ADOS) and Officer Recall PCS orders
 b. Use of the GTCC for PCS travel does not apply to:
 (1) Personnel on accession, separation, or retirement orders
 (2) DoD Contractors
 (3) Individual mobilization augmentees
 (4) Individual Ready Reserve Navy personnel
 (5) Individuals not eligible to obtain a GTCC or are
otherwise explicitly exempted by references (c) or (d).
3. To improve oversight and training of the GTCC program, and to
reduce GTCC delinquencies associated with misuse and abuse, training
at the command level is imperative. Commanders must ensure GTCC
training is conducted at the following website utilizing Microsoft
Edge browser:
https://secure.defensetravel.dod.mil/neowbtraining/Travel_Card/lesso
ns/index.php. Additionally, in coordination with the Supply officer
and Command Pay and Personnel Administrator (CPPA), Sailors must be
counseled by the Command Financial Specialist or Agency Program
Coordinator (APC) on proper GTCC use prior to detaching for a PCS.
The command must document the training with a signed Page 13 during
the command check-in/checkout process. This counseling must also
include a signed DD Form 3120 Statement of Understanding and be
retained on file.
4. Except for non-concurrent travel and Personally Procured Move
(PPM) advances, travel advances are not authorized for Sailors who
have a GTCC. Sailors ineligible for a GTCC may be paid travel
advances to cover anticipated PCS related costs. Dislocation
Allowance is an unauthorized use for the GTCC and will be provided
as an advance.
5. Sailors must check-out with their detaching APC to confirm a
zero dollar balance on the GTCC, provide updated contact
information, and verify their GTCC is ready for use. Detaching APCs
must review CitiManager to ensure the traveler's GTCC account is in
PCS mission critical status 5 days prior to the approved detachment
date and ensure it remains in PCS mission critical status for the
duration of the travel period. Sailors must work with their
detaching APC during the travel period for credit limit increases.
In cases of emergency, Sailors may also contact MyNavy Career Center
(MNCC) Human Resources Services Center (HRSC).
6. Sailors will check-in with the gaining CPPA to submit their
travel voucher to Transaction Service Center (TSC) Memphis via
Enterprise Customer Relationship Management (eCRM) within 5 working
days and before executing any permissive TDY. Split Disbursement is
mandatory when using GTCC for PCS travel. Commands not supported by
TSC Memphis, such as carriers and sub-tenders and who have their own
Accounting and Disbursing Station Number (ADSN), will submit PCS
travel claims to their respective PCS travel office for processing.
7. Cardholders must ensure all required receipts are submitted with
their travel claim and review their GTCC account for accuracy.
Sailors are liable for full repayment of the GTCC, regardless of
travel voucher reimbursement. Reimbursement is based on PCS
allowance rules in accordance with reference (e). GTCC must be paid
in full upon travel claim liquidation. Sailors will be reimbursed
for PCS expenses up to their maximum entitlement and all available
funds due will be used to pay off GTCC balance. Overspending beyond
entitlements may result in personal indebtedness.
8. Authorized uses of the GTCC for PCS travel:
 a. Dual-military PCS. Service Members must each use their own
GTCC for respective PCS expenses (meals, fuel, etc.) and file
separate travel vouchers for individual travel.
 b. Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) for Outside Continental
United States (OCONUS) Permanent Duty Station (PDS). Sailors should
work with their CPPA to submit TLA vouchers. TLA cannot be split
disbursed. Sailors must pay CitiBank directly for TLA expenses.
 c. Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) at the old or new
Continental United States (CONUS) PDS. Service Members who use
their GTCC for TLE expenses to their PDS should file a supplemental
Travel Voucher upon completion of their temporary lodging stay.
 d. Lodging.
 e. Meals.
 f. Rental car and fuel, when a rental car is the authorized
mode of transportation.
 g. Fuel and electric vehicle charging for a Privately Owned
Vehicle (POV) when POV is the authorized mode of transportation.
9. Unauthorized Uses of the GTCC:
 a. Separation or retirement travel.
 b. Dislocation Allowance (DLA) expenses.
 c. PPM operating expenses (e.g. rental truck/trailers, moving
supplies, weight ticket fees, etc.).
 d. Short-term Storage-in-Transit (SIT) or long-term NonTemporary Storage (NTS) of PPMs or other household goods.
 e. Payment for a government-related debt (such as a Defense
Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) delinquent debt, pay.gov payments,
etc.)
 f. Expenses unrelated to PCS travel (e.g., childcare,
entertainment, uniform items, circuitous travel, etc.).
10. Questions regarding personnel, pay and transportation services
should be sent to the MNCC HRSC at 1-833-330-6622, askmncc@navy.mil.
