I am getting conflicting advice on the DLA situation. My husband is at OCS, he is going to be a NFO. Since he has dependents (a wife and kids) that live several states away at his home of record, will he get DLA when moving them? Any married guy who's been through this care to tell me their experience? Thanks!

He is entitled DLA for 1 move per year. Unfortunatly, it is from his location.

Sorry Sir, but that's bad gouge (the once a year part - don't know about the moving self vs family part)

I've received DLA twice in one fiscal year, only the second time was at a reduced rate. According to MATSG S-1 guys, you are entitled to DLA for every PCS move, regardless of how many times per year. The catch is, each time is at a reduced rate from the previous.

PDS has in fact relocated the household and the member may be eligible for a DLA if Government quarters
are not available at the new PDS.); or
