I'm getting MOBed to be a part of a CRC training team in Ft Bliss (I know... it hurts my soul). We are getting sent with TCS orders. I've never been on TCS orders before but have been told they are better than PCS. Can someone explain to me why and what the additional benefits are? I know I'm getting BAH for my HOR, but I'm hearing there could also be additional funds for housing or per diem and I don't know who is right. Looking for advice and info!
Thanks in advance.

Besides your regular BAH and BAS benefits you should receive a per diem for the location you will be stationed at. I was on TCS orders and got 55% per diem. If I am not mistaken you will have to go into DTS and certify your voucher ever month. Good luck

TCS will get you all the extras, HOR BAH, the per diem, possibly family sep. PCS will give you local BAH and none of the extras.

The per diem is not guaranteed. Bliss apparently has a lot of on base housing available. If one’s orders say that per diem will be provided if no on base lodging is available, it may be safe to assume that one will not receive per diem at Bliss.
