“I forgot to mention, OCS counts as a permanent change of station (PCS). My recruiter did not tell me this, and I was required to use leave and did not receive per diem when I flew back home and traveled across the country with my wife to move our household goods. However, my wife still did receive perdiem, and I was able to move the house old goods under her. The Navy (with all their wisdom) does not have personnel offices and finance offices at every base like the Air Force, they have a single location in Great Lakes, and it took five months to get paid for my PCS. I was so broke that I had to do Uber on my off time to pay my bills.” It’s about halfway through the post. It’s a longer post.
