Look at your orders and determine what your accounting data is for your current location.  It is crucial for you to understand what you are entitled to depending on your  accounting code and location.  The PCS/TDY handbook link will go through each of the different  accounting codes.  If you have questions do not hesitate to contact your PSD or us to help explain.

To help make your life easier, read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page and the PCS/TDY Handbook.  The FAQ page provides answers to common questions asked by newly reporting personnel.   The PCS/TDY Handbook contains very important information about your pay and entitlements during a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or Temporary Duty (TDY).   Knowing this information is critical to the well being of you and your family.   If you have any questions about any part of your orders or the pre-commissioning process, don’t hesitate to contact the Precom Detachment.
