Commonwealth Enlisted Compassionate Travel (COMECT)
Married and single Service personnel who were recruited overseas in a Commonwealth country and brought to the UK at public expense on enlistment may be returned at public expense to the country from where they were recruited.
Some categories of Service personnel who do not meet the conditions of DOMCOL or COMECT are however, eligible to accumulate up to 25 per cent of Annual Leave to enable them to visit their home country at their own expense. This leave is called DOMCOL Substitute.
