I am currently lucky enough to be out here in Arizona at Davis Monthan AFB with the mighty Puma. We are here as part of an exercise which is being run by the Army
. (Albeit we are only a bit part player with our own ET to carry out) To that end, before we arrived we were told we would get the princely sum of $25 rates and no access to Incidental Expenses. (Yes I know you fast jet boys get $65-75 rates for staying in exactly the same accomodation)
The Army have declared field conditions for the whole exercise and we are no longer receiving the original $25 in fact we are receiving nothing. We will get LOA and LSA upon our return but we have been told we are still not entitled to IE. We have to buy our own phonecards and papers. They do provide laundry facilities and little else.
The JSP states that IE cannot be claimed except in certain circumstances which includes having to buy your own phonecards.
I know there are alot of JPA experts on here. Can anyone clarify the situation?
