Hi Everyone,
I know Home of Record moves have come up in discussion here before, and I took a gander at the previous posts but nothing really answered my question.
Background: I was commissioned from USNA in 2007 and have had the typical flight school TDY/PCS moves. I went from USNA to Pensacola to Corpus to Milton to Mayport and lastly out to San Diego. I just bought a place and I want to do a Home of Record move from my HOR in Washington State to San Diego. I was always under the impression that you were entitled to 10,000 lbs (O-1 entitlement). However, when I went into San Diego personal property today to get the paperwork rolling they started talking about "orders in combination" and essentially told me all I was authorized for weight was the 12,000lbs from my last (O-2) move minus whatever I actually moved in my PCS to San Diego. I moved about 5000 lbs which means I would only be entitled to 7000lbs of HOR move.
Does this make sense to anyone else who has done a HOR move? My understanding of HOR moves is that they are completely separate from any PCS moves you may have done during your career- so the fact that they are trying to split the weight allowance between the PCS/HOR strikes me as not quite right. If someone could please point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. HOR moves often are talked about like a mythical white buffalo that nobody really seems to understand or know where to find the regulations governing them.
If it helps any, this is the e-mail I got from the property office concerning the issue:
"Wanted to provide you with the reference in regards to your HHGs. [...]JFTR U5310 explains orders in combination and subparagraph U5310 A (2) specifically states "As used in par. 5310, a "former PDS" includes an individuals HOR. If you look at subparagraph U5310 A (4) it shows how to do an orders in combination computation."
Can anyone explain this? Thanks!
