Not off the top of my head. Maybe the expense section. Click add expense and scroll down to travel documents or other and select travel orders? That is the best I can describe… probably wrong but I am confident you can figure it out.
I was at the NOSC this weekend and the admin guy said this isn't strictly needed for orders. It seems like a lot of people do it, though!

Oh haha no I was 22060. So I was the year before u. I went last year. The summer was the best time to go imo. But have fun and GL!
@AU_Aviation was sending you back to ODS again. Lol. Jk. I tried to get that summer class. Submitted my request and it was returned. Went in to CANTRAC before sending again and saw all 15 spots were gone. the June-July class doesn't have quotas for Reservists. I believe they don't want us to have a great time when the weather is great. So...I opted for the Apr-May class instead.

I see. Yeah there aren’t a lot of reserve spots for the 6th class. There’s 180ish total but it’s reserved for active duty. It’s the hottest time of the year there but they do some cool Fourth of July parade stuff for that class.

Anyone else in class 23020, which convenes 22JAN2023?
Soon, I believe that each one of us is going to end up taking 1 slot for each session. You are in class 23020, @AU_Aviation is in 22030, and I'm in 23040. At this point, I'm waiting on others to say they are in the next class 23050. Wild.

@number9 have you received notification from Personnel? I've seen messages regarding the common pay issues they are having with DCO's. Mainly ensuring that NRC/Assigned Unit helps with verification of your RED/DA within 30 days of attending ODS. If it isn't, it may result in no pay while you are at ODS. The RED/DA can be updated via NSIPS.

Edit: RED/DA - Record of Emergency Data/Dependency Application

I got the welcome email earlier this afternoon.

Funny story about RED/DA. I tried to verify it a few months ago, and it got rejected with an error saying "See messages". The message was there, but it was blank. I emailed the NRC last week to try and unravel this, but they are very short-staffed so I haven't heard back yet.

My RED/DA was last verified almost 9 months ago, which is presumably the date I was commissioned. The welcome email says that RED/DA must be updated a minimum of 30 days before ODS... which is not possible without a time machine given the class convenes two weeks from now!

So...I can relate to this because mine was denied on last week. Apparently, it is a command function to update certain information within NSIPS. To view the message, you'll have to click RED/DA, and select "Submit Comment/Respond to Notification", click continue (twice) to get to the corresponding page and view the message. It's confusing.

This is all I can see:

A Record of Emergency Data/Dependency Application (RED/DA) Request has been routed back to you with the following comments:​

But the comments are blank. Even when I download this as a CSV, there are no comments.

They didn't tell me what the issue was, but the NOSC got this fixed for me.
I'm reaching out to the NRC now. I feel like this Navy experience is going to need narration (lol): What we thought was a fairy tale ended up being a Nightmare. Touchstone presents an experience seen by many: Welcome to the Navy. However, I'm looking forward to everything that comes with it. Lol
