6/14  Great way to spend Flag Day, my Matt was home on leave and we got to spend the day fishing together. First time in a year we have been out, he didn't lose his touch and put Pop to shame.

Great Fathers Day Present!

JoeM,  my son is in from GC and I asked him about moving.  He said he thinks he is still eligible for a move from his "home of record"  since he did not use it to move to GC.  So, I'm not really sure   what he is  eligible for at this point.  I do know the Navy is moving everything from GC to WA.  While he is here I want him to go through  all that is here and see what he wants and how he'll get it out there.  When he was planning his move from GC I think he asked someone if he could have his things moved from GC and NY  at the same time and that's when he got the "only one move"  answer.  Anyway I'll leave it to him to decide.

Good luck to you and your sailor.

mlongst, I deleted my last comment (I couldn't find a way to edit it) since I realized I was allowing some personal venting to come through and it may have come across that I was challenging your advice when you were only trying to help me with a question I had previously posed.  That was not my intention.

I still THINK our sailors are entitled to both a move from GC to their next duty station AND a Home or Record Move to that same duty station.  I hope to confirm this belief and will report back.  

In the meantime, the Navy does have a website regarding the moving of household goods and personal property:

http://www.navsup.navy.mil/household

This page (Types of Moves) on the site defines the "Home of Record" move.

They also list a toll free help line: 1-855-HHG-MOVE, and I have found the customer service folks there to be very helpful.

JoeM,  My son is moving now from GC to Bangor Wash.   According to him the Navy will move only from one site.  So he and his new wife are moving the furniture etc.  that they have in GC to WA.   There is still alot of  "stuff"  here at home in NY but he will have to take what he can fit in his Jeep after his  30 day leave and the rest we will have to store ( or have a garage sale).

Bob - my son is also in BS.  He got there in January, started proto on 4/14 and just today went "on-crew".  They were given a grad date in September (can't remember the exact date).  Originally he was MARF but was moved to S8G.  I know with all the downtime not to count on the September grad date but it sure is disconcerting to hear how long some of your sailors have waited!  Boy that's a long time......I know my son said there are many there who started proto (long) before his class but will graduate AFTER because of the MARF issues.

Hurry up and wait, right?!

David's Mom, thanks for the info.  

So apparently, moving from a training base sounds no different than any other assignment.  I'm still researching, but they are supposedly entitled to a 'home-of-record' move that pays for moving household goods from their hometown to an assigned base.  They can use this special move once in their career.  This info has been told to me by several former Air Force and Army people I know.  As you already know, they'll also move your goods from your last base back to your home when you're discharged.  You supposedly have a year to use it in the event you might stay in the area around your base longer (wife's job etc.)

Do you know if David elected not to use this after making E5 or was maybe not aware?

My son is at BS. Some to him today, he said they opened up more quals to them, so at least he can start making progress again on those. When they are limited it's a pretty boring existence of working 8 or 12 hr shifts and not really moving ahead with the program. He turned down a staff instructor position because of the additional time requirement. Time will tell if that was the right move. I have encouraged him to get to the fleet and get that part figured out before he obligates himself to more time...I understand the MM's and EM's are moving through Proto quicker, as are sailors in the other plant. Things will proceed at the navy's pace and no one else's, one can be sure of that.

Does anyone know if the Navy pays for moving of household goods after prototype to their new base?  Somewhere I've gotten the impression they might not since it's from a training base.  Anyone know for sure?  

He's single and doesn't have a lot of stuff with him at Goose Creek, but it's more than he can fit in his car.  

He's also thinking of doing a 'home-or-record' move, which the Navy is supposed to pay for to get all his stuff currently at my house moved to his new base either when he heads there from leave or shortly after getting there and settling in.

I want to make sure that if the Navy does pay for a move from GC that it won't disallow him to move his stuff from home (at their expense) since there's a lot more stuff here at the house.

In other words, might the Navy allow only one or the other per set of orders??
