Navy to Issue PCS Orders

Week of June 29, 2009

The Navy announced it will resume issuing permanent change of station (PCS) orders following a three-month delay due to a budget shortfall. Sailors who previously negotiated orders but then had their transfer date put on hold need to renegotiate orders via Career Management System Interactive Detailing (CMSID) or their detailers. Detailers recorded what Sailors previously negotiated and will try to honor those commitments, to the maximum extent possible, but Sailors still need to re-apply. Billets that were available before the PCS delay may no longer be available. The current CMSID cycle ended June 24, and the next cycle begins July 9?22. Sailors may log in and view available assignments at the Navy Personnel Command website.

It doesn't matter if it's your first PCS or your 101st , the moving process is fraught with stress and disorganization. The Military.com PCS/Home Buying Guide can help you sort through the moving process and ease your PCS.
