What is the purpose of NAVPERS 1070/606?

The NAVPERS 1070/606 serves a specific purpose within the Navy personnel management framework by documenting a member's unauthorized absence, which is critical for maintaining accurate personnel records. This form enables commanders and personnel specialists to track instances of absence without leave (AWOL) and helps ensure that such incidents are properly recorded and addressed in accordance with Navy regulations.

By accurately capturing this information, the form contributes to a comprehensive view of a service member's career, enhancing accountability and supporting disciplinary actions when necessary. This specific focus on unauthorized absence sets it apart from forms that address commendations, performance evaluations, or training records, all of which are documented on different forms tailored to those particular areas.
