Packing And Travel
No. Your itinerary and the travel associated with that itinerary, including the return home, are detailed through your orders. Travel to and from the duty locations listed on the orders will be covered. You should not purchase separate travel unless you are specifically directed to do so.
Traveling from more than 50 miles away: Trainees traveling from more than 50 miles away are authorized to stay overnight on the Monday immediately before their ship date. If you are traveling from out of state, you will fly into Colorado Springs Airport (COS) and stay in a hotel in a manner similar to a typical UTA. Save every receipt for travel expenses associated with your ship date and keep those receipts until you return from your orders. After you return, your respective unit will assist you with submitting a reimbursement request using the saved receipts.
Section D – Duty Locations: Near the beginning of the orders, Section D lists every duty location to which you are expected to be sent.
Page 3 – Rental Vehicle authorization: The paragraph titled "Rental Vehicle authorization" repeats the locations and adds the dates or date ranges showing when you will be at each location and how many days are scheduled there.
Timing of the flight itinerary: The final airline itinerary is not normally available to you or your flight chief (TSgt Wells) until the end of ship-day out-processing. It is intentionally released after you have completed the required checks and it is confirmed that you are leaving that day.
General rule: The most recent BMT information email, orders, amended orders, and instructions provided during out-processing or training control what applies. This FAQ explains the local process in more detail but does not replace newer written guidance.
