Travel Voucher - DD Form 1351-2

[99WtoDoc]

I just got my Travel Voucher returned to me with a note that the dates are wrong. I filled it out the the GME office and the dates are correct...

The things that I may have goofed on (or at least was unsure about) are the following:

1. I was assigned to my school for two weeks prior to reporting to the MEDCEN. My school has several campuses and the main campus was listed as the report location when in fact I stayed at my actual campus.

2. My orders said to report to the MEDCEN "on or about" a certain date, when in fact I arrived a day earlier. I reported the actual date I arrived.

3. I went directly from that MEDCEN to another MEDCEN on another set of orders and listed that new location on my "Itinerary".

How in the world should I fill out the Itinerary to get this thing submitted? Do I start with the travel to my main campus (even though I didn't go there) or do I start with the date that I went to the MEDCEN? Also, is it ok to have the ending location the second MEDCEN (from the second set of orders)?

Do I fill out a new form, or correct the one that has the GME Office's signature? If I fill out a new one, does it need to have the original GME signature (I am not at that location nor at my school at the moment).

Argh! Any ideas?

1) When you applied for your orders, it should have been clarified as to your starting point. Your schools main campus is the default. This should not be a huge issue. Start your trip at "home" and go to the airport you traveled from. If there is a huge issue of mileage, you may need to have your orders modified.

2) The start of the travel part of your orders would be the day you actually start travel and check into your command. You are given 1 travel day. If you did not check into the command the day after you arrived, they will ding you for that.

3) If you are on 2 sets of orders, you need to mission complete the first set of orders and file a second claim for the next set. You can't do both on the same claim. Simply end your first set of orders the day you leave for your second location and start a new travel claim.

If you have further problems contact the admin section of your HPSP office.

this happened to me and was such a headache. you have to ensure you include your school order dates the voucher. i had to do it like this: start at home of record, drive to school address (times 15 days), drive to airport, arrive at ADT then finish it out. i assumed incorrectly i did not have to include school order time since i wasn't traveling and they said "soldier cannot arrive late" when in fact i wasnt traveling during that time. if you have any more questions just PM me. i imagine it's a similar problem.

also, make sure you dont include days authorized on your first set of orders when claiming for your car and hotel. i left my first ADT on a thursday for my second ADT back to back instead of saturday morning as my orders said and they wouldn't pay for my rental car bc the receipt claimed it started two days prior to arrival. i also sent in my first set of orders from the first of the two back to backs at the end of my second voucher submission for ADT 2 so they didnt get confused as to why i started travel not at my home of record.
