was just wondering. My husband took out an advance pay in order to pay for his hotel for AIT. Which being in the guard of course they give you 2 sets of orders for 15 days so they dont have to pay you full bah... anyways.. He turned in the paper work on 29may and his orders started 30 may. So the SPC in the office at his unit said well the paper work needed to be turned in 3 days before the start of your orders so this 15 days he wont get it but the next set of orders he would. Which Im not so sure I believe her but anyways..

** The advance pay was only for 450 enough to pay for the hotel.

Anyways! My real questions are: Does this situation sound accurate?

Does the advance payment get posted on MyPay?

If yes, Does it get posted before or after you get the money?

Where does it get posted at on MyPay? Under LES or Advance travel pay?

Thank you for your time!!

I dunno about the rest, but the travel voucher will show up under the Advance Travel Pay.
An advance on pay will show up under the EOM LES.

I'm not following your set-up/question. They way I read it, your husband is in the National Guard and started AIT on 30 May.
- Did you mean AT (Annual Training) which is usually a 15 day order or perhaps MOS training which could be 2 separate 15 phases back-to-back and would necessitate 2 separate 15 day orders? AIT follows basic training & is not done on 15-day orders.
- Guard soldiers getting a pay/travel advance of any type is rare, if at all. The standard is to have the soldier apply for an official government travel credit card and they use that card for official travel expenses associated with the training orders. At the worst the soldier uses their personal credit card.
- If the training, be it AIT/MOS or AT, was coordinated by his unit as it must be, then they a copy of his orders was made available to them before or at the same time as your husband so him attending the training should come as no surprise to the unit.
- Your husband can file a travel voucher for the first 15-day orders after the 15 days ends. He should submit the travel voucher through his unit and they will see to it that it is properly processed. And, of course, he should submit the second travel voucher after the 2nd travel order end date has passed. He must have a hotel receipt matching the start/end dates of his travel orders in hand when submitting either travel voucher.
- If your husband did get a travel advance, the advance amount will be deducted from the settlement of his travel voucher.
- If use of a hotel is in his travel orders or the need to put him up in a hotel was determined at the training site & he gets a statement of non-availability from them, then he will be reimbursed up to the actual/authorized lodging costs for the training location regardless of what the unit SPC said. He will also get a daily per diem to cover meal costs and incidental expenses.
- Travel settlements go thru a different system (DTS) than pay does however his settlement statement is visible thru the MyPay site.
- As far as BAH, he will get whichever BAH he is entitled to (with or without dependents). The entitlement/amount has nothing to do with the length of his orders.
If my read is not correct, then ignore my ramblings above. Good luck; cul8r.
