It is the individual traveler s responsibility to ensure their card is both current and activated prior to travel. f. Lodging. Military lodging shall be used whenever flying onto, or ordered to, military installations. If military lodging is not available, a certificate of non-availability shall be obtained prior to booking commercial lodging. In the absence of a government lodging option, hotels shall be booked through the DTS travel module or via the Commercial Travel Office. Personnel will only be reimbursed up to the maximum lodging rate for the travel location. Students shall share rooms during cross-country travel and detachments unless approved by the Operations or Administration Department. g. State Tax Exempt Status. All travelers shall visit to verify state tax exempt status and are required to submit a tax exemption form to the lodging and car rental offices if the TEMADD state qualifies as a tax exempt state.

If lodging in a tax exempt state, present to the desk clerk the applicable state tax exempt form to obtain tax exempt status upon checking in to your hotel. Enclosure (2) is an example of Texas State taxexempt form. Members shall provide a lodging receipt with their name showing a zero balance as part of their substantiating records.

Government aircraft should be used for TEMADD travel when possible. Consult with the VT-10 Operations Department and NAS Pensacola Base Operations Department for flight availability before requesting another means of transportation.

3 b. Commercial Aircraft. Common carrier air transportation is ordinarily the most cost efficient and expeditious way to travel for travel of over 400 miles one way from the Permanent Duty Station (PDS). Contract city pair airfares (and other airfares limited to official government business) shall be used, unless there are circumstances when a restricted airfare available to the general public when any risk of trip cancellation or itinerary changes are outweighed by the cost savings. In this instance, commercial carriers used will be the least costly service available, but in all cases, it must be a United States carrier. Individuals are responsible for making all travel arrangements through Defense Travel System (DTS). c. Privately Owned Conveyance/Vehicle (POC/POV). For TEMADD performed outside the local Pensacola area, use of POC/POV may be authorized. If POC/POV is utilized as the means of transportation, reimbursement may be limited per reference (a). d. Commencement of travel. For TEMADD/Temporary Duty (TDY) out of the local area, one day of travel is authorized to any point in the Continental United States unless traveling by POC/POV. For personnel attending TEMADD schools that commence on Monday, travel will begin on Sunday. If a member is authorized travel via POC/POV, any additional days of travel necessary to reach the TEMADD point will be charged as leave. e. Rental Vehicles. Rental vehicles must be approved by the CO, XO, Operations (OPS) Officer, or Admin Officer. All rental cars shall be booked though DTS. Students are not authorized to rent vehicles unless authorized by the CO or XO. One economy-sized vehicle is authorized per four travelers. Rental vehicle size may be increased for groups larger than four travelers. Travelers shall submit a tax exempt form if travel is to a tax exempt state. Only the member claiming the rental vehicle will be reimbursed for gasoline expenses. f. Taxi Fares. Taxi cab fares are reimbursable expenses when used between the place of residence, lodging, or place of duty at the PDS or TDY station and the transportation terminal per reference (a). Taxi fares are not reimbursable expenses when used between lodging and recreational activities while on travel. 8. Cross Country Flights a. Enclosure (3) is an example of the cross country request form and shall be completed in its entirety and submitted to the Assistant Operations Officer per reference (c). Download and complete the most recent form from the Operations Department located on the shared drive at: S:\VT10\Operations\Cross Countries. b. Completed cross country requests approved by the CO or his designated representative will be forwarded to Admin to facilitate approval in DTS. c. Aircraft Break-down/Weather Delay. In the event an aircraft breaks down and cannot return to Pensacola on the assigned date of return, all staff/student officers assigned to that aircraft will be authorized full per diem for all additional days. Use the phone numbers in Enclosure (4) to reserve lodging, rental car, and commercial air transportation. The Government 3
