The Navy will delay permanent change of station (PCS) orders this fiscal year for approximately 3,800 Navy personnel until October 2006, officials announced March 15. The action stems from a combination of current year budget reductions and out-of-cycle BAH (basic allowance for housing) increases, which caused a deficit in the military manpower account. Impacted will be Priority 4 moves, which are mainly shore-to-shore, and some sea-to-shore moves. Officer and enlisted members who do not have written PCS orders in hand within the fiscal ’06 PCS transfer window may be affected. Sailors going to high-priority billets, such as those to forward deployed naval forces, currently deployed units, recruiting duty, joint combatant command support, and senior leadership (CO/XO/DH/CMC/COB/RTC), will rotate as scheduled. Detailers at Millington will call each Sailor impacted by the PCS delay and address any issues with families, schools and careers.
