Navy Orders Delayed

Week of September 07, 2009

Nearly 14,000 Sailors who negotiated permanent change of station (PCS) moves for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 will not receive a hard copy of their orders until after Oct. 1 as the Navy's current PCS funding account runs dry. Some Sailors who have negotiated PCS orders using Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) or directly through their detailer may need to wait until the new fiscal year begins before they initiate processes associated with PCS moves, such as overseas screening, sea duty screening, special duty screening and scheduling household goods and vehicle shipments. These are processes that require Sailors to have PCS orders, which contain a line of accounting data to pay for services associated with moves.
