Going on R&R to Australia, will I need my passport?

Presuming that you are American citizen [Y!A is accessible all over the world] you will need the following documentation for an Australian vacation:

• a regular U.S. passport [not the 'no fee' official passport since you don't travel on orders being on official duty]

• an Australian Electronic Travel Authority [ETA] to be applied for at a service fee of AUS$20 [paid by credit card] on the website of the Australian government

You can use your military ID only if you're using it with military travel orders.

Otherwise, a passport is necessary. Contact someone in your CQ / HQ and request that the military expedites your request for a passport.

yes you need a passport. orders and Mil ID are not longer sufficient for leisure travel.

what a R&R i dont know what that means but you need a passport to go anywhere out side ur country
