Defense Travel System is not going away. If you do any amount of TDY travel, you need to learn how to use it. I spent some time on the DTMO website learning how to use DTS, and it paid off immensely:
- While I was stationed in Norfolk, I wrote a number of no-cost TDY orders for myself to go to schools in the area, including classes at the Joint Forces Staff College. The end result was that I got more education then what I would have normally gotten on dead-end staff duty.
- I took the voucher class, and I managed to get paid quickly for all my travel expenses.
The DTMO website is here:

(CAC required)
I recommend logging in and doing the following training:
- DTS 101
- Travel Card 101
Also, watch the following demos:
- Create a voucher
- Create a local voucher
- First time log into DTS
The time you spend on this skill will be well worth it.
