Dual Military: Will we be able to ship our POVs under government expense?

I am stationed overseas in Korea and my husband in stateside. We both will be PCSing soon to Fort Irwin and both cars are stateside with him. I asked if we could ship the cars and was told no, then I asked if we drive will we be reimbursed and still they said no. Is this possible? What should I do?

Maybe it has changed, but I seem to remember that each member could ship a POV. Are both y'all driving? If you both drive 2 SEPERATE vehicles you both should get mileage. You both have to file a travel voucher so I can't see how only wouldn't get paid unless they've really changed things.

They are incorrect who ever told you that. Wherever you depart from stateside to your next duty assignment you will receive travel pay and mileage is .575 a mile. It is found in the joint travel regulation. https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/perdiem/JTR.pdf. This is the regulation that you will find all information pertaining to your travel.
