Navy Pushes E-Leave System

The Navy's new online system for leave requests aims to reduce paperwork and expedite processing.

The service's E-Leave system is not only faster than paper, it also speeds up recordkeeping with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. Manual leave requests submitted into DFAS run late about 20 percent of the time, the Navy says.

All shore commands are supposed to be using E-Leave as of today, and ships will phase it in over a two-year period, which started in October.
