The SEA does not generate a transcript.  Students must submit a request to the American Council on Education (ACE) requesting an evaluation for credit which is then submitted to the institution of their choice.  ACE will require the Joint Services Transcript (JST)  showing graduation from the school.  Note that SEA graduation can take several weeks to post to the JST.

No.  ATM fees and dry cleaning are no longer an expense you can claim for reimbursement per the JTR.

Rental cars are not authorized on SEA-funded travel orders.

Yes.  POV travel is authorized.  However, mileage reimbursement cannot exceed the cost of the round-trip airfare per the JTR. Orders must be entered and authorized in DTS, which include a Constructed Travel Worksheet (CTW) and flight screenshots from and to Duty Station/Homeport.

• GSA Contract Airfare or POV from your Duty Station/Homeport to/from Newport, RI;
• Lodging at Navy Inn (on base);
• Meals and Incidentals (MI&E);
• Transportation to/from the PVD or BOS airport;
• Mileage by POV to/from your local airport.
