Where should I start to determine if my TDY reimbursement for ALC was incorrect, my S1 or Post Finance?

I Just PCS'd From Korea to Ft. Hood. Between Korea and Ft. Hood, I went to Ft. Sill for ALC and after went to Ft. Bragg to pick up my family and move to Hood. When I inprocessed Hood, I went to Finance and processed my paperwork. I just received my voucher. On it I am missing money for my rental car, which I was authorized on my 1610. I did see my TDY Per Diem paid for tho. Do i need to start at my S1 or should I return to Post Finance to see if something was incorrect?

You file an amended voucher for the remainder of your money. As long as the 1610 was correctly authorized with a legit LOA you should be good.
On the other hand, rental cars are usually on the unit to fund unless required by the school. Because NCOES are paid for by big Army with MTSA funds, they aren't required to cover anything other than what the school house requires. So, even though your unit in Korea authorized a rental car, your unit at Hood is not obligated to pay for it out of their unit funds (and would require a separate voucher), and Finance can't pay anything that's not required by the school. If you had been TDY and return to Korea your rental would have been paid.
