No. They will pay to move you from your domicile to his first duty station as long as it is not a ';dependents restricted'; overseas tour. He should get a ';travel brief'; as part of his levy for the assignment. They will provide him all of the options that would apply in your case. He can even make a bit of money if he chooses to do a ';DITY Move';.I am the spouse of a military member, would I have to pay for my transportation when he hets his PCS?
when we moved i had to do alot of paper pushing to get it done but the military will either reinburst you or pay for your flight providing that you have the right paperwork done and you are sponsored to go live with him
if he is granted accompanied orders, then no. If he gets Unaccompanied orders and you choose to go anyway, than all expenses incurred will be out of pocket.





what will most likely happen with accompanied orders is that he will check in and then make arrangements to get you and your stuff out there. if you have very little( it can all fit in a Uhaul,) you can make money on a DITY. you will drive and then he will submit the paperwork to be reimbursed.
that depends where he is going.
Once he gets orders they should say whether you will be able to move with him. Once he has those than he will need to get with TMO to set up a move for your family assuming it is an accompanied move. If you want to move yourself than you can go through the process and get reimbursement after the move. I warn you that if you move yourselves you will not see reimbursement for several weeks (for us the estimated times was 8-9 weeks). As a E-2 you will have a weight restriction and TMO will be able to let him know what that is. My husband is a SGT and ours was 9 thousand lbs I believe. When you are in transit make sure to keep receipts for gas, hotel stays, and take mileage before you leave and when you get to his duty station. You will not be able to do anything until he gets his orders. Hope this was helpful
Tha depends on his rank, and where is going. If he is getting staitoned in CONUS they will pay for the move. Outside of CONUS they should pay for it if he is an E-5 assuming its not a combat zone.
when my husband was in tech school i went out to be with him...we paid for that..when we left tech school for his first base...they paid...they have paid for each pcs we have had...and moved our stuff or like the last move paid us to move it....as long as you are on his orders they will get you to him...but he needs to do the paperwork..and most times if its not overseas....you get paid back for your trip
