DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My husband is looking into getting a rental car to come down here once he gets to Phase 3 of A school. Do the rental car companies give military discounts?

He will be doing Stash duty for about 4 months. I read that Ensigns that are stashed for a period longer than 120 days will be assigned for PCS. So I hope it will be covered!
I'll have to let him know about the advance in pay. I do know that if we need money for the move both my parents and his are willing to help out so that's nice!
Thanks again for the info!

Wow thank you so much for the info! Who would I request a Dity move from? My husband is currently in Newport for OCS and graduates on Feb 18th. He is 75% sure he will do STASH duty (working on base) until Supply School starts in June. So basically it is just me moving up there with all of our stuff so I am not sure if this would count as a PCS move. I am new to all of this and don't know how to request for things! Maybe my husband can request while he is there.

Does anyone know how much the Navy reimburses for moving expenses? I have to move from Baton Rouge, LA to Newport, RI in February and I am considering hiring a professional mover, but if they are ridiculously expensive then I can't afford it! This will be my first military move so any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
