Blurb about the page and what it can offer, etc. The idea is to write to the newest Sailor out there. Careful with the accronyms, grab the shipmates hand and guide them.

Orders Workflow:

  1. Orders are created via a NROWS tracking number. <- Insert image
  2. Orders are created by the Sailor who is going on travel, that means you generate your own orders. Thhs is done 30 days prior or 60 Days prior for Outside of the US (OCONUS)
  3. Orders are approved.
  4. Sailor creates the travel itinerary via DTS. This just means you setup the hotel, rental car, flights, etc.
  5. Sailor completes the orders.
  6. Travel claim done within 5 days via DTS. <- Link to tutorial page or the actual website.
