I got my OBLC orders and on the bottom it has a bunch of codes that have to deal with pay but I don't know what each of them means

1198 -$
1199 -$
1210 -$
1250 -$
21T1 -$
21T2 -$

Also it says that SM Auth Basic Pay Rate of E4 with 4 YOS UP SEC 523B, NDAA 2008

Finally for travel, do we have to go though the Gov't travel to get reimbursed or can we go on Expedia and buy a ticket ourselves.

Thanks

I bought a ticket through travelocity and never got it reimbursed. It was a pain in the butt to even figure out if I could get reimbursed. Just have Carlson-Wagonlit book it. They will ask what day, airport and general time frame you want. It's just easier.

NO, you cannot buy airline tickets or rental cars via expedia, orbitz, etc. You have to do those through Carlson Wagonlit.

Those numbers are for command (It's about the funding that is to accompany us for our training) and don't really reflect anything that will directly impact us (Pay, etc)

About the E4, are you prior service?

Yup prior service, apperently I'm one day short of being claiming O-1E pay because I have exactly 4 years of prior service and not 4 years and one day

this happened to a couple of my buddies and I'm pretty sure that they found out that each year they were in IRR counted as one "good day". Check that out.
