TDY Lodging Brief: Skip the Hotel, Stay Within Per Diem
Going TDY soon? There's a better option than the hotel.
Every Thursday at 1:00 PM Central, 9 Line Agency runs a 30-minute virtual brief on non-conventional lodging for military travelers, followed by open Q&A. Whether you're a traveler, a trip POC, or the planner stuck sorting housing for the whole team, you'll leave knowing exactly how to book a house for your TDY and get it through DTS without issues.
What you'll learn
How non-conventional lodging works under the JTR — what's allowed, who needs to approve it, and what the AO actually has to sign off on
The Non-A letter question — what to do if you have one, what to do if you don't, and how the recent AFIMSC guidance applies
What to put in DTS — the L9 and L12 reason codes and the justification that keeps your voucher clean
How billing works — individual, itemized invoices with nightly rate and taxes only. No added fees.
The booking timeline — how we go from forecast (T-90) to Go/No-Go (T-30) to check-in, and what we need from your planner at each step
What you get vs. a hotel — full kitchens for meal prep, shared space for team planning, private single-family homes, and options like a dedicated planning house
OPSEC — how we keep trip and mission details from property owners and outside parties
Real examples — sample property proposals and invoices from past trips
Who should attend
Active duty members going TDY/TAD, unit travel planners, trip POCs, and anyone who's tired of cramming a team into hotel rooms.
