I currently am on day 8 of my 9 day travel to Virginia, I’ve been putting my hotel fees on my government Travel card. Will the army reimburse me for the hotels and per Diem each travel day? I’ve heard the Army doesn’t pay for hotels when TDY enroute.

Your PCS orders cover your PCS travel. "The order directs travel to, from, or between official points and serves as the basis for the trip and associated reimbursements." "Military PCS orders are valid for travel and transportation allowances to the new PDS named in that PCS order while the order remains in effect." When you arrive, you'll file your travel voucher and include your hotel receipts. You can read up on it yourself in the Joint Travel Regulation http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/perdiem/JTR.pdf

In my rusty brain I thought the Army started flat rating travel pay.They decide what you should get and pay you that when you out process. Or maybe you got 75% of the estimate then you filed your voucher. I thought hotels were legit. Maybe your out going finance didn't realize you were TDY enroute?

Initially I looked at your profile and I saw 101st and thought 9 days from Stewart to Virginia? What the heck was he authorized walking?

My orders don’t say anything about it and my 1510 just covers my per Diem for my PTDY
