The NAVPERS 1336/3 form serves as a critical mechanism for service members seeking special requests and authorizations within the Department of the Navy. This form requires personal information including the applicant's name, rank, duty station, and the specific nature of the request—be it leave, special pay, or other considerations. Notably, it emphasizes the importance of completing all fields accurately, as any omission could lead to delays or disapproval of the request. The form also mandates a clear articulation of the dates and duration of the request, along with the mode of travel and reason for the request, ensuring that the necessary context is provided for consideration. It mandates multiple levels of approval, requiring signatures from supervisors and a final determination of approval or disapproval. The information collected is protected under the Privacy Act, allowing the Navy to assess eligibility and enforce accountability in the approval process. Understanding how to navigate this form can significantly affect a service member's ability to secure necessary leave or special considerations, making it a valuable tool in the administrative landscape of military service.
