Military service members traveling under official military orders--including permanent change of station moves and temporary duty assignments--are entitled to travel pay. Travel pay is handled by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and can be tracked in a service member's MyPay account. A Department of Defense Form 1351-2 must be filed with the service member's personnel office; the personnel office will forward the DD 1351-2 to DFAS. When DFAS has reviewed and approved the DD 1351-2, the service member will be compensated for the exact amount of his entitlement.
Travel With a Criminal Record
Having a criminal record does not necessarily mean you will not be allowed to travel, but convictions may be grounds for refusal to grant a visa, entry or passport application. Unless otherwise specified, a criminal record does not prohibit you from traveling domestically, but can create problems when traveling internationally.
Recharge Batteries on a Travel Trailer
A travel trailer's deep cycle battery--also called a DC battery--powers the camper when the camper is not connected to outside electric sources. Because of the high power demands of the camper's devices, these batteries drain quickly. Many travel trailers have battery power meters indicating low or no power when the batteries need to be recharged. Use the tow vehicle or external charging devices to recharge your travel trailer's batteries.
Keep a Pet Calm During Travel
Many people love to travel with their pets. It's not hard to see why. Pets are parts of the family in most cases, and people are loathe to leave them behind. For the most part, pets love to travel with their humans. They enjoy the togetherness, the bonding and the adventure of something new, especially dogs. Most of all, though, they love being included on a family trip and not relegated to a pet sitter. However, pets sometimes get a little nervous and jumpy during the actual travel phase of a vacation, especially if they're not used to riding in cars or on planes. Fortunately, there are steps to take to keep a pet calm during travel.
Keep Mice Out of Travel Trailer
Mice are attracted to warm, dry places and food, even small crumbs. Don't let them make a home out of your travel trailer. A mouse only needs a tiny opening to get into your trailer and once inside, it can wreak havoc, chewing up paper, gnawing on electrical cords and leaving telltale droppings. By following a few steps and securing your travel trailer to prevent unwanted intrusions, you can avoid annoyance the annoyance of having to deal with invading mice and spend your time enjoying your travel trailer.
