If I’m PCS’ing with TDY en route, does the Government pay for my lodging and meals?

I currently am on day 8 of my 9 day travel to Virginia, I’ve been putting my hotel fees on my government Travel card. Will the army reimburse me for the hotels and per Diem each travel day? I’ve heard the Army doesn’t pay for hotels when TDY enroute.

What does your travel orders say?

Your PCS orders cover your PCS travel. "The order directs travel to, from, or between official points and serves as the basis for the trip and associated reimbursements." "Military PCS orders are valid for travel and transportation allowances to the new PDS named in that PCS order while the order remains in effect." When you arrive, you'll file your travel voucher and include your hotel receipts. You can read up on it yourself in the Joint Travel Regulation http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/perdiem/JTR.pdf
