NAVCOMPT Form 3065 Leave Request / Authorization

Navy Leave Chit Instructions

When a service member completes NAVCOMPT 3065, the form must be given to the reviewing officer of the personnel office (usually, your commanding officer) who approves or disapproves the request by checking the appropriate box. The officer writes down their name, signs, and dates the form. When you depart and return, your authorization will be checked by the officer of the deck who verifies the information in the request, enters the hour and date of your departure and arrival, and signs the form. Once the leave is ended, the form is given to the certifying officer who will check its correctness, indicate the eventual leave period, and sign the form.
