Q: Hello! Me and my husband are PCSing in July to Fort Riley. I would like to know what the weight for a e3 and e4 would be. I say both ranks because he has been told he will get a rank up soon but we are not 100% sure. also do we get money for our PCS? I was told by a wife that we get 1000 for the move.. I don't mind I am just wondering. How many days do we get to get there? When we PCS if our floor or walls need to be re-done will that have to be paid from our pocket or can we pay them over time? I asked a wife and she said she isnt sure how Drum does it but she is paying off damages of her old house in Fort Riley they just add it on to the BAH payments. I know there is a lot of questions Im sorry but my husband is deployed and we dont talk much. I just want to make sure I understand everything fully THANKS!
