2. ISSUE 160201:  CLASS XE AND XF AVAILS

A. UNDER CURRENT MILPERSMAN 1306-1712 THE CLASS XE AND XF AVAIL IS USED FOR 
NON-BRIG DISCIPLINARY RELEASES.  AVAIL CLASS IS DEPENDENT ON WHETHER THE MEMBER 
IS A NON-RATED/UNDESIGNATED OR RATE/DESIGNATED.  
B.  THE USE OF THESE AVAIL CLASS CODES IS EXTENDED FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BUPERS 
ORDERS IN LIEU OF THE ELIMINATED STANDARD TRANSFER ORDERS FOR TRANSFER TO A 
TRANSIENT PERSONNEL UNIT (TRANSITPERSU) OR IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR IN COMMAND (ISIC) 
FOR FURTHER LEGAL PROCESSING.  (EXCEPTION: DG AVAIL APPLIES TO THOSE ASSIGNED 
TO A PERMANENT DUTY STATION IN THE SUBMARINE/NUCLEAR COMMUNITY FOR TRANSFER TO 
A SUBMARINE/NUCLEAR SUPPORT COMMAND).  
C.   THE XE OR XF AVAIL WILL NOT BE USED TO REMOVE A MEMBER FOR ANY OTHER 
REASON FROM WHAT IS DEEMED NECESSARY FOR FURTHER LEGAL PROCESSING WHEN IT IS 
NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE CURRENT OPERATIONAL DUTY COMMAND (TYPE 2 OR 4) TO 
CONTINUE SUCH PROCESSING. 
D.  PRIOR TO AVAIL SUBMISSION, A WRITTEN LEGAL HANDOFF IS REQUIRED VIA 
STANDARD NAVY LETTER (SAME PAGE ENDORSEMENT) BETWEEN THE COMMANDING OFFICER 
OF CURRENT  COMMAND AND THE GAINING COMMAND THAT WILL ACCEPT THE MEMBER FOR 
LEGAL PROCESSING.  IF THERE IS NO LEGAL HANDOFF, AVAIL IS NOT VALID AND 
BUPERS ORDERS WILL NOT BE ISSUED.  A COPY OF THE LETTER WILL BE PROVIDED TO 
NAVPERSCOM (PERS-40GG) TO ENSURE NAVPERSCOM IS IN RECEIPT OF SIGNED LETTER. 
E.  THE CURRENT COMMAND WILL PROVIDE REQUEST TO THE SERVICING PSD FOR AVAIL 
SUBMISSION WITH A COPY OF THE LETTER STATING THAT A LEGAL HANDOFF WAS MADE.  
AVAIL WILL BE SUBMITTED THROUGH NSIPS.  REMARKS WILL REFERENCE THE HANDOFF 
CONFIRMATION AND WILL INCLUDE APPROVED TRANSITPERSU OR ISIC UIC THE MEMBER 
WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO. 
F.  BUPERS ORDERS WILL BE ISSUED BY NAVPERSCOM TO TRANSFER THE MEMBER TO 
APPROVED UIC AS AN INTERMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT IN ACC 320 WITHOUT AN ULTIMATE 
DUTY STATION.  SUCH ORDERS WILL BE MODIFIED IF MEMBER IS RETAINED IN SERVICE 
AND BECOMES AVAILABLE FOR TRANSFER AFTER ALL PROCESSING IS COMPLETED.
G.  MILPERSMAN 1306-1700 PROVIDES FURTHER GUIDANCE ON AVAIL SUBMISSIONS.  
A SINGLE AVAIL CLASS CODE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE NEXT MILPERSMAN REVISION 
WHEN PUBLISHED FOR USE WHEN A MEMBER REQUIRES TRANSFER FOR FURTHER LEGAL 
PROCESSING AS INDICATED ABOVE.

ISSUE 160202: 8 WEEK TIMELINE CHANGED TO 12 WEEK TIMELINE FOR J, K, AND L
AVAILS.

A.  EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY THE CURRENT EIGHT (8) WEEK TIMELINE 
TRAINING PATH FOR CLASS J, K, AND L AVAIL SUBMISSIONS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH 
A 12 WEEK TIMELINE.  AS ALWAYS, AVAIL SUBMISSION IS REQUIRED WHEN THE MEMBER 
DOES NOT HAVE FOLLOW ON BUPERS ORDERS TO NEXT TRAINING PATH AND/OR ULTIMATE 
ASSIGNMENT. WHEN THE COURSE(S) LENGTH IS 12 WEEKS OR LESS, THE AVAIL WILL 
BE SUBMITTED DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF THE TRAINING PATH ENROLLED IN. WHEN 
THE COURSE(S) LENGTH EXCEEDS 12 WEEKS THE AVAIL WILL BE SUBMITTED 12 WEEKS 
PRIOR TO GRADUATION DATE OF TRAINING PATH ENROLLED IN. INDOCTRINATION,
PRE-REQUISITE, AND/OR VIRTUAL PIPELINE COURSES (E.G., NMT, PFM, AWAT, 
MULTIPLE COURSES UNDER SAME TRAINING PATH, ETC.) WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS 
TIMELINE ONLY IF THERE WILL BE NO MORE THAN 3 DAYS DELAY BETWEEN ENROLLMENT 
FROM ONE COURSE TO ANOTHER WITHIN THAT TRAINING PATH.  IF THERE WILL BE 
DELAYS, AVAIL WILL BE SUBMITTED WITHIN 12 WEEKS OF GRADUATION FROM THE 
LAST COURSE OF INSTRUCTION ENROLLED IN UNDER THAT TRAINING PATH.  
THIS CHANGE CAN BENEFIT ALL CONCERNED TO INCLUDE MORE TIME TO PROCESS 
PAY AND PERSONNEL DOCUMENTS BETWEEN RECEIPT OF ORDERS AND GRADUATION DATE.  
THIS GUIDANCE WILL BE REFLECTED IN REVISED MILPERSMAN 1306-1700 WHEN PUBLISHED.
