light duty chit (hyperlink), without making any reference to the

weeks gestation or earlier if the member requests
disclosure.
3. Eligibility for Administrative Absence and Travel for Non-Covered
 Reproductive Health Care requires a minimum of 30 days on active
 duty, per references (c) and (d). The requested non-covered
 medical procedures must be confirmed by a licensed medical
 provider or clinic that will be performing the services. The
 substantiating documentation and requests for travel and
 transportation are made to the gaining command to whom the
 Sailor is ordered at the time of the request. All travel
 will be funded via Medical Line of Accounting in DTS.
4. Reporting. Navy Reserve Activities that provide funding for
 eligible members NLT the 10th day of each month will collate

 reproductive health services. This decision should be provided to

 to approve or to deny travel and transportation allowances and
