What is FEML?
FEML is Funded Environmental and Morale Leave (FEML) for transportation. It is similar to R&R that is used by CDC civilian employees. An officer and eligible dependents are entitled to one FEML trip if the OCONUS tour is at least 24 months, but less than 36 months and if the permanent duty station is designated as an approved FEML location. If the tour is extended at least 12 months, one additional FEML trip is authorized. If the tour of duty is for 36 months, two FEML trips are authorized. No more than two FEML trips are authorized for any OCONUS tour (including extensions to that tour).
