Is it considered PCS, TDY, etc?

From what I have seen in the past, PCS for Active Component, TDY for Guard/Reserve. But with exceptions.

I was TDY and return (back to my unit). I believe it depends on your WOBC. Most are TDY enroute.

Depends on if you are going Aviation. If so, it’s a PCS.

Mine was TDY and return and I was active, because my family stayed at Fort Campbell while I went to school and then I returned for 3 weeks and then left for WOBC at Redstone Arsenal which was 6 months and that was TDY and return also. After I graduated I returned to Fort Campbell and then out processed and moved to Fort Riley, KS on PCS orders. So it depends are you returning to your duty assignment or are you moving on? If so if you are married where is your family currently? These are all things that you should be asking yourself. Hope this helps.

It depends on where you're coming from and what MOS you are training into. Most of the active duty tech candidates coming from CONUS will get a TDY and return if theres a gap between WOCS and WOBC or TDY en route if there isn't a time gap. That all depends on how the dates line up and how their losing unit processes them. OCONUS techs will get more than likely a TDY en route regardless. And as it has already been mentioned, you'll only be PCS'd there if you are attending WOBC there as well, or if you came from a sister service.
