The correct answer is: She should not “hold onto vouchers from earlier trips so she can process them all together when she returns.” For TDY (Temporary Duty) travel, Patricia is expected to:

  • Ensure her travel card data is current in the DoD travel system so she can make reservations.
  • Ensure that her travel card account is open and ready for use for authorized travel expenses.
  • Validate with her Agency Program Coordinator (APC) that her travel card credit limits will cover expected TDY costs.

However, she should submit vouchers for earlier trips promptly , not save them up to process all at once when she returns, so “hold onto vouchers from earlier trips…” is the action she should not take.
