I am on TDY status for 60 days my job is completed and I have about 24 days off at the end and no work to be done. My question is is there any way I can request to end my TDY early and go back to my normal base and normal job I feel like I'm wasting a lot of the AF money just sitting in a hotel room waiting to leave. I drive myself to the TDY location so plane tickets aren't an issue.

By all means, let your unit what is going on and ask them to issue an amendment to your orders. You get to sleep in your own bed, and the unit gets their Airman back. But you have to communicate. Don't assume that the Air Force will do it for you.

I've had TDY orders cut short before for similar reasons. Went out to Ft Leavenworth to act as support. They ended up not needing me at all. One day 2, the Capt working with me said "I'm not old enough to act like a father, but hell I can pull a big brother. We're getting you out of this hell hole."

All they did was issue a modification of orders.
