That was a VERY interesting read. I never found it to be issue with my HHGs, most of the time I was barely at 50% of the allowance when I was married with two kids. I'm sure some come closer to their allowance and I agree with the author's comment but really, do you really have over 11,000 pounds of stuff?? ;-)

McCain Sets His Sights on Cutting PCS Costs
Sen. John McCain believes it is time for Congress to cut back the costs of moving troops to new duty stations, and he has some ideas of how to do it.
Excellent article, because it shows the flaw in the logic.
I do like the idea of TIS being the major factor as opposed to rank, as "gear accumulates over time, not necessarily with rank."

I remember Gunnies giving away old couches because it was cheaper to buy new ones when they got to their new duty stations than to ship the ones they had.
