SGT Private RallyPoint Member 7816715 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Greeting, I just need some clear information about COT<br />leave. I PCSed from an overseas assignment to another<br />overseas assignment, I&#39;m authorized for a COT leave but I<br />didn&#39;t take PCS leave and go straight to my new<br />unitstation, I was told once that I have to defer my COT or<br />I&#39;ll lose it. My last unit didn&#39;t do anything and I didn&#39;t have<br />a chance to do a deferment back there. Is that mean I lost<br />my COT leave? And luckily if I&#39;m still authorized, can I use<br />it to go somewhere else other than my HOR bc I traveled<br />back there last year already and really want to go<br />somewhere else. Thank you. 2022-08-10T07:31:28-04:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 7816715

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Being stationed overseas things work slightly different because manning requirements are a bigger concern as people coming onboard requires more leg work and logistics. I spent almost 4 years on Embassy Duty and COT leave was secondary to mission readiness and manpower. Leave sometimes gets deferred to a later time. You will need to coordinate with your leadership to get some time off if you weren&#39;t afforded that option before reporting. On Embassy Duty we encouraged folks to take leave while in transit between posts because it wasn&#39;t a guarantee you would be able to once you report. Embassy Security is fast paced and you hit the ground running. Good Luck

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You&#39;re going to have to open up the DOD Joint Travel Reg and find the answer yourself, because if your unit isn&#39;t giving you the correct answer you&#39;ll need to show them in black and white.
