AF Form 938 is essential for Air Force Reserve and National Guard members requesting a temporary active duty status. The form acts as both the request and the authorization document, capturing the member's grade, Social Security Number, unit assignment, duty location, and the specific purpose of the assignment.
The form covers financial and logistical details. It specifies whether government transportation is available, the mode of travel, estimated travel costs, and per diem entitlements. Members must account for government quarters availability and any special lodging arrangements. Once orders are issued through AF Form 938, members must file a DD Form 1351-2 travel voucher and submit a statement of tour of duty within five working days of the tour completion.
The Privacy Act protects all personal information submitted on the form. The commanding officer's signature block ensures the request goes through the proper chain of command. For related Air Force administrative forms, see Air Force Form 24 for personnel action requests or Air Force Form 102 for investigative records.
