<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and SAMS lived in a footlocker sized slow ass computer called a TACCS box, there was the low cost/no cost move. One might obtain a slot in a unit in another MACOM (like Tradoc to FORSCOM, not B Co to C Co) on the same post, or there was a cluster of installations in the same commuting range, on could PCS without the move...the single largest cost of the PCS is the HHG part.<br /><br />Branch managers are very reluctant to allow this. It&#39;s like someone scratches dessert off their meal card if someone even looks like they may homestead.<br /><br />Pro: you don&#39;t move, but your TOS clock gets reset. It is the veneer or a PCS, without the pain.<br />Pro: your family is happy<br />Con: the next PCS will be absolutely miserable, they&#39;ll make sure of it.<br />Con: the slot you got to may or may not be a career developmental victory. <br />Con: selling this to branch is a hard sell. Fort Polk ain&#39;t gonna man itself.<br /><br />I have never heard of it referred to as a permissive PCS.
