The JTR still gives you this out: If…adequate Government quarters are available on the U.S. installation to which a Service member is assigned TDY, but the Service member chooses to use other lodging, the Service member is limited to the reimbursement cost of Government quarters on the assigned TDY installation (44 Comp. Gen. 626 (1965)). Table 2-14. on page 44 Other lodging chart.pdf

Three years ago we were encouraged to consider furnished apartments. Now we're not? This is still the current guidance on their site though... https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/news.cfm?ID=30 Effective as of November 1, 2014 MAP/CAP 118-13, Flat Rate Per Diem for Long Term TDY - In order to encourage travelers to take advantage of cost saving opportunities..... The commercial lodging industry considers stays greater than 30 days to be “extended stays” and typically offers reduced rates to ensure occupancy. Travelers may also consider furnished apartments or similar types of lodging which are typically cheaper than room rates in commercial lodging.

Anyone have any info on the AMLO assignment at Yokota. Day to day schedule, deployments, can you still fly?

With the new TDY changes, if I get a Non-A for a TDY over 30 days will I only get reimbursed 75% of that hotel lodging value? After reading the regs on it, it doesn't say anything in regards to a Non-A letter and how it relates to the decreased rates.

At the Deid right now and talked to finance last week, and they are still doing the SDP.

Are E8's their own MWS or is it just a one tour gig?

What about guys that get one for a first assignment, how does a follow on assignment work for them?
