my husband graduates boot camp on Nov. 9th. his A-school starts the next wednesday. me and the kids are moving to pensacola during his A-school because it is a long schooling. and it has to be at our own expense, the navy will not pay. the navy says they will pay for the move to the "First Permanent Duty Station". since we will be living in florida, will they pay for our move from florida, or do we have to be living back in new york (where i am now) because this is where we were living during his basic training??

we are already receiving BAH so this would be used for our apartments. this is not going to put an financial issues on us. after paying our bills, we have hundreds of dollars left each month. and we will not be taking the kids away from anything. theres no family anywhere near us, and they dont go to school. they are only 2 and 5 months. and i didnt ask opinions on whether i should move or not, i asked if they would move me. so unless your going to answer my question, dont bother writing. we've made up our mind....

They will pay to move you, from where you are living, in your case, florida, to his first duty station.
It doesn't matter that you moved since he enlisted.
Heck, he could have enlisted while in california, while you were in NY, and they would have paid to move you to his first duty station from NY anyway.
Once you move, he needs to inform the Navy, that you no longer live in NY and live in Florida, so your BAH is adjusted to the Florida rates.
Even if that means, you will get less in BAH.
Continuing to collect NY bah rates , while living in Florida, would be considered fraud.

The Navy will only pay for one move from where you live now to where he is assigned. Just because he is going to school in Florida does not mean he will be perminately stationed there. His perminant duty station assignment transfer will be upon graduation from his school and not before.
Stay where you are and don't uproot the kids yet. If you decide you will be moving to Florida, yes it will be at your own expence. You will need to come up with security deposit and first months rent upfront plus utility connections and moving all your household goods. Think about how much money is involved here just for you to be near your husband while he is attending school. He needs to focus on his A school and he can't do that with you and the kids there and worry about how he will be able to afford the rent etc.
Christmas is comming and so are other holidays. Wait until he can take leave and be with you. Moving there now will create a huge financial strain plus take the kids away from school, family and friends over the holidays.
Moving to Florida now would be a huge mistake. It will put you under enourmous financial strain plus stress the kids out.
It will happen eventually anyway, but when the time is right and the Navy provides for your husband to be able to handle the financial strain of moving.

I would say suck it up and stay put till he is done with school. You might not like how the Navy will deal with that question. Being apart is part of the Military so might as well get use to it its hard but im sure you can do it. He will be in school and not alot of time to be family man and he dont need to have u and them on his mind while in school tryin to get through that and be dad and hubby. Plus im sure you have family where u are now that will help u out cause in school he will be no help. Sorry if I come across rude not tryin to be but im tryin to tell u how it is. Its not easy, it takes alot of work but if you want it you can handle it. When i got out they would only send me to Los Angeles since that was where i came in at i got out in San Diego after spending a year in Japan but my family and house was in Tx. So i had to pay for the flight to Tx last minute since they didnt tell me that ahead of time. So you learn the hard way and help others from it. Good Luck yall

they pay from new york, remember we discussed this before this is a big part of the consideration. if you move to fl that 's on you, everything. his orders when he graduates will have his home of record moving to his first duty station and pensacola usually doesn't amend due to the spouse moving down there. sorry.

they will only fund the move from NYS. Your HHG will only be shipped from NY to where ever he gets stationed. where will you leave all your stuff?
Think long and hard. Housing in Pensacola is still tight after the hurricanes wrecked much of it. your DH may not be allowed to live with you, at least not at first.

Go in and ask the transportation office. Both at your closest base and then confirm with the one he'll be dealing with at the A-school. I've heard conflicting reports on this which usually means it depends on who you ask, how you ask and how they interpret the rules.
If you do go ahead and move down there be aware that housing is still tight. And he needs to update your address on his page 2 ASAP.

When you have your first move they will move you from where ever you are to where ever he is going AS LONG AS YOU ARE CLOSER. If he gets orders to another location in Florida, or to anywhere in the south, you will probably be closer than moving from NY. However, if he got orders to New York, you would be on your own.
I got married on leave during a PCS move and moved my new wife and our stuff from her home. I was going from Florida to Idaho and she was in California. The whole thing was covered.

Sounds like they will pay for the move you make after his A school to his first duty station. It shouldn't matter where you are moving from.

You are making a huge mistake by trying to move to Pensacola while he's in school.
Live and learn.

the military will move you from where you currently live to your husbands new duty station, so if you're in pensacola that is where they will move you from your husband just has to let the right people know about your new address.
