So I got AIT for 15T for may, and the only thing I received is ATRRS course verification, do I receive TDY orders from school?

S1 said I won’t get order where as S3 said I won’t get rental car because it doesn’t mention in the course verification, but welcome letter from ait unit says I am authorized rental car. How do I contact school?

The AIT letter says that you could have a rental car while at schoo, but it is up to your current unit to authorize the rental. Somebody always pays for the bill, your unit in this case. You could drive your POV and after school get reimbursed for the mileage.

You should be on assignment right now. Your class is TDY enroute, your unit doesn't pay for the car and you're not returning to your unit after training and staying there.

You need to do your levy packet, get your orders, take them to you S3/DTS for your DD1610. If ATRRS doesn't say a rental is authorized then it's not. The school has no say on what the unit does so contacting them won't help you.

You can have your commander authorize this. You need to build your Authorization in DTS and justify the need for a rental car. If they approve the authorization then you are good. This will usually happen if the Soldier is at a location where the school doesn't have a means of transportation to the training. If that is the case then you can get rental. A lot of time you will just get mileage down to the school if you have your own car. I was at a school for 6 months and I got mileage down there and I accepted the "in and about" mileage on my own dime. If the welcome letter from the school says you can have a rental then you can use that. It is usually situational based driven. For example, if you have to leave off post for lodging and there isn't transportation.
