| | A member directed to make aPCSis entitled to transportation and/or storage ofHHG.� A member�s weight allowance depends on the member's grade and dependency status (see par. U5310-B).� The Service concerned may administratively limit the amount shipped.� For example, an E-6 with dependents may ship 11,000 pounds ofHHG, if the member is transferred between twoCONUSPDSs.� However, if the member is transferred to a "weight restricted"OCONUSPDS, only a portion of the member'sPCSHHGweight allowance may be shipped.� The remainder may be placed inNTSor transported to a designated place.� Generally, any portion of thePCSHHGweight allowance the member elects not to ship may be placed inNTS;HHGprecluded from shipment due to an administrative weight restriction are placed inNTSuntil the nextPCS.�PCSHHGtransportation entitles a member to temporary storage, until the member arranges for a new permanent residence, unless prohibited.� Temporary storage may be authorized at any combination of the point of origin, in transit, or at destination.� See Part D. |
