PFC Private RallyPoint Member 6756284 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello everyone! So I just PCS’d to JBER, Alaska and my vehicle is getting shipped from the New Jersey port to come up here in Anchorage. My father went to drop it off for me back home and I made sure the correct paperwork was there however they said my orders weren’t enough to ship it? I don’t even know what that means because they’re the ones I got when I graduated OSUT that the army literally gave to me haha. Does anyone know the other “orders” I need to be able to ship it? I know a couple guys up here shipped it the same way no problem so I have no clue what the shipping port is talking about. Any insight would help. Thank you! 2021-02-18T04:33:27-05:00 PFC Private RallyPoint Member 6756284

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If your orders don’t specifically state shipment of POV, then the military will not pay the shipping company to ship. You have to get your orders amended to authorize shipping of POV.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You need to go to your local transportation office and get the shipment authorization

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you didn’t have anything specific on your orders saying the Army will ship your POV than you will need to drive it to Alaska.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Talk to your Transportation office that handles shipments for PCS moves. Rely on them and not on barracks lawyers for the best guidance. Unless your orders specified that a POV shipment is authorized handing your orders to them won&#39;t do much of anything

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your orders have to state shipment of POV. You might have to buy another vehicle in Alaska since it&#39;s dicey trying to drive across Canada these days.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not to be a smart ass... but your vehicle needs orders too. What you have in hand are the orders for YOU to go to Alaska, not your vehicle. Your orders need to be amended to include shipment of your vehicle to your new duty station.
