TDY Regulations

The JTR is a fantastic read…. Not! However there is a lot of good information that you may or may not know or realize is possible. For the purposes of your TDY training to Sheppard, here is a breakdown of the lodging constraints. First thing to know is that the DoD Joint Travel Regulations do not restrict where you stay while TDY, but rather how much you can claim on your voucher. In our case at Sheppard, when Gov’t Quarters are available members are entitled lodging Per Diem reimbursement up to the daily rate of the on base quarters regardless of where they actually stay.  The member only needs to provide a valid receipt on your voucher (provided by us) to substantiate the cost incurred for the lodging portion of Per Diem entitlements IAW the travel authorization you created in DTS or your paper orders.  Conveniently, we charge the exact same daily rate…  The result is an option that is no additional cost to you for an unquestionably more comfortable, clean, and fun place to spend your time off duty.
