Guide to your first duty station or first pcs [ security forces USAF] air force bases

[@mrcamjones1]

If I have a moving company ship my belongings and vehicle , do I pay for it then reimbursement later on? Or do AF pay for it through contract?

[@benaferhc5]

Cam Jones when you go to leave tech school you will have the choice to do it yourself or have a af company pick your things up and deliver them. Also when I moved vehicles are not apart of moving unless you are going over seas. So if you ship a car you will have to pay out of pocket for it with no reimbursement.

[@benaferhc5]

Cam Jones but you will set it up with tmo before your move

Im graduating SF tech school very soon. How many days a week do you work? Im concerned about having free time to decompress and balance out life and work.

[@benaferhc5]

Hueylue 4 days a week. But it all depends on the base.

[@maxcombs5274]

Just swore in to DEP. I leave next year. I put security forces as my top pick, do I have a high chance of getting it?

[@benaferhc5]

Max Combs well what did you sign your contract for? Once they offer you a job you will have a ship date

[@bacmac1715]

The day you left tech school is the same day my birthday is on

[@benaferhc5]

Do you have a collection of firearms?

[@benaferhc5]

Funni Asian Man not to big now. Have some still back home and sold some of them here because there isn't anywhere to go to shoot rifles.

@@benaferhc5 oh i see, ok. Just wondering.

So I’m married, I wasn’t as fortunate as you to have my house available to me as soon as I got there it’s not available for about another month AFTER the 10 days I’m authorized. We’re going to coordinate leave into that wait time and just fly home to wait it out and spend thanks giving with our family BUT I was told I cannot obtain a GTCC Bc I’m not going overseas. So my question is how do my husband and I (mil to mil, he’s arriving after me by a few days) pay for our lengthy hotel stay before we are reimbursed for travel ...?

[@benaferhc5]

If it is first duty station you will be paying out of pocket. Because a gtc is not available until you get to first duty station and do the paper work for it. You can talk to base lodging and see if they can get you a place to stay. But that is also iffy. I had to pay out of pocket for everything and I know some cases the military will only pay up to so many days of lodging if off base.

[@takfry]

bro they told me I had to wait to fill it all out to be put on a waiting list

[@benaferhc5]

I sent them my pre orders and they did a wait list then when I got my final orders they had a house they usually have quite a few houses so I wouldn't worry about it to much

[@sweetdaddyz2063]

What if you don’t have a vechile

[@benaferhc5]

Sweet Daddy Z you will have to fly.

[@sweetdaddyz2063]

[@benaferhc5]

Sweet Daddy Z at first you will have a sponsor who will take you to your squadron and make sure you get a dorm etc after that your supervisor can pick you up or walk it will be up to you to find an arrangement that works. But your sponsor will pick you up from the airport
