What should soldiers who aren't getting TDY like other soldiers before them, do?

The brigade doesn't have enough money to pay for all the soldiers to go to ALC TDY. Should the soldiers that intended to go suck it up that they're not getting TDY like the other soldiers before them? Or is the brigade trying to save money?

What will happen if your unit doesn't have funds to send soldiers to ALC? | RallyPoint

What will happen to SGT(P) career if the unit doesn't have the funds to send soldiers. Especially if they close to their RCP date?

I don't follow. Maybe it's different with the Reserves, but I have always understood that training funds come from a different pot and is distributed by the major command. I have never heard of a BDE element not being able to send soldiers to school. Especially now that the focus is on getting everyone through schools for STEP.

I could be wrong but I don't think individual units pay for Soldiers to attend DA Select NCOES Courses.
