of your packet once the staffing process is
completed. Staffing of ADT packets could be
anywhere from 90 - 120 days. It is highly
recommend that you explore the use of agency
funding while your packet is being considered,
reviewed and/or staffed. ADT's are subject to
availability of funds.

in November will reflect a "school start date
not earlier than April." Packets submitted in
May will reflect a "school start date not
earlier than October." If the packet does not
meet this criteria it may be returned for
correction or without action. If a packet has
been approved, the applicant will receive an
email from the FCR point of contact (Ms. Sharon
Fowler). The email will acknowledge the approval
and provide instructions on how to go into RASS
to initiate the training application and request
for funding.

manages the Army Civilian Training, Education
and Development System (ACTEDS) resources for
the Intern and Competitive Professional
Development (CPD) training programs. RASS
enables the creation, submission, and approval
of the following forms: A Request, Authorization
Agreement, Certification of Training and
Reimbursement Form (SF 182) Request, and
Authorization for TDY Travel Orders (DD Form
1610) Claim for Reimbursement for Expenditures
on Official Business (SF1164). RASS can be

CREATING AUTHORIZATIONS IN DTS (If
Travel is Required)
- AFTER the SF 182 is
APPROVED, create the
authorization in DTS.
Reference the SF 182 training number on DTS authorization. Add
non-mileage expenses only. Per Diem mileage expenses can be added to the
authorization without booking the commercial travel.
- Exit out of DTS WITHOUT SIGNING it.
- The authorizations will route through DTS to G-37/TRV. G-37 TRV will
automatically check for authorizations, based on the approved SF182, and add the
LOA to the authorization within 7 days.
On Day 8 Careerists should check DTS for the LOA.
- Once the
authorization
has a LOA,
Careerists are
required to sign
the completed
authorization to
conclude the
process.
Authorizations
will route
through the
Careerist's
normal DTS chain
of command.
