I live almost 120 miles from my drill do I get a hotel room the night before and sat night paid for? I am in the ok national guard I just finished ait (68w) and this will be my first drill with my unit so I don't know what to expect.

doubtful but I would ask your unit before hand. I know that the Guard is looking into it and some states I believe are doing it now, but not all.

Our unit would either put you up in the armory on a cot or request that you stay at another soldier's house.

as do most but some states are a bit different, also it is a new thing that may come to be. NGB sent out a feeler a few months ago

i retired in 89 but we always went to the armory and sacked out there as there was no pay for rooms unless you were on fed orders don mack

For those of you that have over 100mile drive you can claim this as a deduction on your taxes. I would think also that if you paid for a hotel yourself you could claim that but it might get a little expensive.

NGB policy is if a Soldier lives over 50 miles from their unit of assignment they are authorized Hotel/Motel accomadations. Been that way for at least 5 yrs now that I can remember. Each State does it differently and some states have done away with it completely. It turns into a funding issue. At one time I was getting rooms for all ranks. Now its just for JR enlisted and JR Officers.

Strike....Just a lowly Readiness NCO

Aye, as MG stated, it is different for each unit I suppose.

My unit puts people > 50 miles up in a hotel. You just need to call the unit and see what they say.
