Where can the officer go for COT leave?
An authorized destination is the officer’s home of record (HOR) or an alternate place that is no more expensive than to the HOR. If travel to the selected alternate place is more expensive than travel to the HOR, the officer may be authorized travel to the alternative place on a cost-constructive basis. If travel is more expensive to the alternative place, the officer is financially responsible for the additional cost unless travel to the more expensive alternate place is authorized and approved by the Secretary of HHS.
