Per Diem - Navy JCWS (JPME II) Students

Permanent Change of Station (PCS).
Personnel in a PCS status, arriving in a Temporary Duty Under Instruction (TEMDUINS), should request an advance per diem payment through their servicing Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) prior to reporting to JFSC. Contact your Administrative Department, Travel / Budget Offices, or Disbursing Offices for procedures on requesting advance per diem. While TEMDUINS, you will be entitled to draw per diem for meals based on the local meal rate plus incidental, since government messing is not available here. Government lodging rate is $25.00 a day.

Cost TAD/TDY.
Personnel, arriving in a TAD/TDY status, must understand that the servicing Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) for JFSC is not authorized to make advance per diem payment to TAD/TDY students. Students, on Defense Travel System (DTS) orders, should be a Government Credit Card (GOVCC) holder. Additionally, when issued DTS orders, ensure that a Scheduled Partial Payment (SPP) is selected in the authorization for an automatic payment to post every 30 days. When using DTS, only one voucher can be filed and this voucher will be at the conclusion of the TAD/TDY. The SPP can not be done here at JFSC and must be completed by the originating command. Students that are not GOVCC holders, contact your Administrative Department or Travel / Budget Offices for procedures on applying and receiving a GOVCC prior to reporting to JFSC. Furthermore, it is imperative that students have a working knowledge of the DTS operating system. Since, DTS training is not provided at JFSC.

Local TAD/TDY Students.
Per diem is not authorized for local TAD/TDY Students. Personnel must report with no cost TAD orders for JPME Phase II for the entire duration.
