‘Directed' in
Orders Vital
Failure to read and understand
instructions in travel orders can
cause financial pain, particularly
if the word “directed” is ignored
or glided over in hasty reading,
according to the base Finance Of-
fice.
Orders frequently direct a speci-
fic mode of travel—military air-
craft, train, commercial air line,
or other—be used. If for some
reason this is not possible, or in
the best interest of the govern-
ment, the traveler must obtain a
“certificate of non-availabiliy.”
No certificate, no reimburse-
ment. The certificate must be at-
tached to the per diem voucher.
In some cases lacking certifi-
cates can be obtained, but cor-
respondence results in delay in
reimbursement, the Finance Of-
fice said.

vice and help they would be able

many places on the base and are
concerned with the gamut of act-
ivities on base. The areas of con-
cern may range from the condi-
tions of the base grounds to per-
formance of mission.
