How much time does someone in the military have to prepare when orders to changing PCS?
Hi. My cousin is married to a GI and they are in Japan, recently she wrote that they are coming back to the US but didn´t told when or where. I wrote back but no response whatsoever. Is it that they already left or is there a time to prepare so I can call her to see what happened.any advice….
they are air force
PCS moves are usually negotiated months in advance. You call your detailer (the guy who writes your orders) or you fill out your dream sheet and send it in. Moves are generally done on a basis of needs of the military. If the slot is going to be available and you are credentialled to fill it, it’s yours. I usually knew several months in advance — allowing me time to take time off for house hunting as well as pre-pack-out and pack-out.
