As long as your DD 1610 authorizes you money for lodging you are fine. You’ll also need a statement of non availability from the course saying there are no rooms, or something similar stating that you will be lodged in barracks.
If your 1610 does not authorize lodging expenses, the Army will not reimburse you

SPC (Join to see) the memo is to authorize the funding on the 1610. If it already gives you the money then you’re good. Military lodging is usually around $50 a day. Make sure the lodging expense at the hotel matches the amount your 1610 authorized

Interesting, most MOS reclasses used to stay in the barracks but got 2 man rooms down the hall but it has been along time since I was at Leonardwood.

when I was at FLW for MP reclass as a 2LT, I stayed in a freaking Quonset hut and the latrine was 2 blocks away. Times sure have changed.

LTC (Join to see) - My first time at FLW was the Engineer Advanced course right after they had moved it from Belvoir. Now being an Infantry Officer, I was used to such classy quarters as the Quads at IOBC, where two LT's shared a room and four a bathroom. Here they had these brand new efficiency apartments within walking distance of the school. All the Officers that had done Basic at Belvoir were complaining, all I could think about was that Engineers got treated a LOT better than grunts.

If that is where your room reservation is, then you enjoy the comforts of a hotel and not the barracks.

That’s what my DTS says just making sure I won’t lose that reservation when I report I leave tomorrow so I’ll get there early so I assume I won’t because I’ll have already payed for the room till I leave my report date is Friday?
