In the Army? Here’s how to pay.
Step 1: Register to attend. You do not need to pay when you register. This step does not obligate funds, it only holds a seat for you.
Step 2: Reserve your lodging. We reserve a number of premium rooms at the event venue at the per diem rate, which you will likely not get through DTS. Nothing will be charged until the day of the event and you can cancel up to 24 hours prior.
Step 3: Download your invoice. When you register, a downloadable invoice will be available. You will need to provide this invoice to your cardholder.
Step 4: Prepare your packet. Each unit has their own packet requirements. The most common things you will need are a training agenda, a capability statement that talks about what CORE Recon is, and our Form 889 to provide to your card holder. These documents are attached to this email for your convenience.
Step 5: Process your payment. Many Army units choose to use Force Readiness Operations Support (SAG 121 as a Family, Community, and Soldier Program) or the unit’s Home Station Training funds (SAG 111) to pay for the training fee. Your unit’s billing official will decide which SAG to use.
Step 6: Request your travel. Your unit’s normal process for TDY will be followed for your travel. When you fill out your DTS authorization/voucher, you will decline the lodging, the choose reason code “L7 – Conference or Event” and paste “CORE Recon Facilitator Certification, Courtyard Austin Downtown Convention Center, 300 E. 4th St, Austin, TX 78701. At per diem rate.”
Step 7: Attend the training. You are good to go! We look forward to seeing you in Austin!
