brabus Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Can Altus be an accompanied TDY? If so, what moto said applies. If it can only be unaccompanied, there's a whole world of asspain ahead.
Bode Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 That's completely up to you. The real question is "will she be on the TDY orders?" This will determine your pay and justification for a TLF. Most likely it will not be because the AF doesn't want to pay that extra $$. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
cragspider Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I am doing something similar to this, OCONUS to CONUS with a TDY enroute. They don't get per diem while you are TDY. They should be on your orders due to the pcs w/ TDY enroute. As long as they are you can get a TLF and have it paid for. As for shipping your car, you should get the letter saying they will ship it to Seattle, which should be the closest port to Fairchild. From there when you drop off the car you can tell the VPC that you would like it shipped to Dallas, or where ever since Seattle is the farthest and going to cost the most. I did this and they had no problems with sending the car to Dallas. Now if you can send it early to have it waiting on you that would be best, due to the fact that you probably won't get any time off to go get it and rental cars ere aren't cheap for long term. As to the unaccompanied baggage. I hope that TMO will give your family the weight allowance. TMO at ETAR wouldn't due to they said they aren't on my TDY enroute orders, which they were. I ended up doing a small household goods shipment to the TDY locale with the stuff we needed due to the baby coming and that stuff wasn't allowed in the unaccompanied shipment. Plus my TDY is long enough where my stuff is in long term storage versus sitting at my pcs location then getting put into storage. Also if you are shipping alcohol then you will need all the paperwork, but you can't put it in your long term storage. Which helped out with me sending it to my TDY local with the small household goods shipment. You will get the BAH 2 rate till you check in to the new base to get that BAH rate. Hope this helps. 1
brabus Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 That's completely up to you. Is it for sure? There are several TDYs that are not allowed to be accompanied. I don't know about altus, but I know about others that aren't, which the AF essentially responds with "not our problem, maybe your wife and kids should live with her parents."

If the time is completely taken up by necessary TDY classes, unlikely you won't get any time off. But any break in classes or showing up early you can go pick up your car. Picking up your car is a normal duty day, not permissive, not leave. You don't get per diem, but when you file your PCS travel voucher, they'll pay you round trip mileage from your duty station to the nearest port. From a TDY station, you'll probably get the lesser of round trip TDY to port or PCS base to port.

But if you are in training they won't/don't have to give you the time off. Now if you have free day then go get the car. I only say this because I have had it happen both times I was shipping/picking up my car from the VPC's while in training. Edited March 24, 2016 by cragspider
TMFan Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Anyone ever do a consecutive overseas tour and request partial release of non-temp storage to be shipped to the second location? I can't find anything in the JTR about it.
duncanoc Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Every link I've found for estimates for DITY moves is broken. Do any of you have correct links to an online estimater? How much could I make hauling a 7x14 trailer full of stuff 1000 miles?

I think it's something like 50 cents a pound, but that's taxed at 27% or so. Plus your 52 cents a mile or whatever the going rate is now a days for mileage. Add in your per diem and DLA as applicable and you can make a good bit of cash if you own the trailer.

You are initially charged that higher tax rate but come refund season you get it reduced to your normal tax bracket via a refund
BTLFlyer Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I'm currently on a 240 day PCS order set that consists of MPA days. I've been told I'm entitled to a PCS move which I thought was fantastic since I am moving next month and started the paperwork for the local PCS move. However, the lady that is processing the paperwork told me I am not eligible since my orders don't have Household Goods accounting line on them. Do I have any recourse or am I pretty much SOL? Thanks!!

Thanks!! Doesn't this fall under JTR para. 5066, relief from active duty? I would imagine that you're entitled to the cost of transportation to your HOR or PLEAD, whichever is further, and doesn't have to be on your orders because it's a JTR entitlement. Can any Reservists speak to this? I'm curious myself as someone that plans to be a Reservist in a year.
Duck Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Sorry to hijack the thread. Question for the informed masses. Getting PCS'd at the same time my 1APZ board meets. Can I have my HHG shipped anywhere I want them? I am planning on rolling the dice and moving the wife and kids and my HHGs to my ANG unit while I check in to my AD PCS location just to separate a couple weeks later after the board results are released.I realize that the AF will pay for one more move to your HOR upon separation, but I'd rather just put my family in place and start planting roots.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

isuguy1234 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I tried the Google machine, but just looking for some updated info on the "I just left Active Duty and have a final PCS move to X location." How long is that move good for and how/can it be extended? i.e. maybe some guard/reserve time in current location for a couple years, then move to a final destination?
Herk Driver Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 One yearSent from my iPhone using TapatalkAnd you can file paperwork with your local TMO to extend it for a year...one year at a time.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
HossHarris Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 The reasons you're allowed to extend are kind of limited. But if you have a nice relationship with your local Tmo clowns ....
gonefishin Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I'm PCSing soon and TLF only has 1 bedroom available. They claim that my family of 5 will fit because they have an air mattress for us to use (free of charge). I asked for a non A but was denied. Does anyone know where the new JTR will tell me if it is my right to get a non A? If no non A is given can I still get reimbursed $60 a day for finding a better place? I'd be happy to pay a little out of pocket to not give Air Force inns my business.Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network Forums

viper154 Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 You will get reimbursed up to whatever the lodging rate is if you go off base. If they only have one room available have a friend call and book it. Then call and get your non A. Then have your friend call and cancel the room. Boom. Unless I misunderstood your post and they have multiple one bedrooms left.
jazzdude Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 5 people in one room? Sounds like a fire code violation... 1
panchbarnes Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Have your spouse blast USAF on social media, that'll get their attention real quick. I would not have recommended this TTP 5 years ago, but nowadays public shaming is the only way you'll get the AF managers attention and see an immediate response.
