Will the Navy allow my husband to PCS overseas first then have our family join him later?

My husband is leaving for Guam in 4 months for a 3 year accompanied tour. Because of some difficulties in our relationship, he is considering going alone, then having our son and me join him later down the road (2 - 6 months). Does the Navy allow this? If so, will they pay to move half of our household to Guam, then later pay to move the rest?Will the Navy allow my husband to PCS overseas first then have our family join him later?
If he goes to Guam on accompanied orders then you will no longer get BAH. If he lives in housing it is automatically stopped, if he lives out in town then it is OHA and that is based on the rent he is paying per month, nothing more. utilities are then paid with a separate allowance. you would also not qualify for Family Separation when you are apart because you want to. The military will allow 90 days of HHG in storage but usually you are limited to 1 HHG shipment, 1 UAB (Unaccompanied Baggage up to 1000 lbs) and 1 storage (usually paid for by the military if it is authorized). You can join him at a later date but it needs to be approved and you will have to pay for housing for yourelf while he is there out of your own pocket.Will the Navy allow my husband to PCS overseas first then have our family join him later?
The Navy will permit you to join your husband later; however, your household effects will be shipped all at one time (not separate shipments).





Guam is 14 miles long and 3 miles wide. You can see that there is not much room to ';maneuver';. If you are currently having family difficulties, these difficulties may be exacerbated by being ';hemmed in'; on such a small tropic paradise. You should try to resolve your problems before moving.





Guam is tropical with moderate temperature year around. There are modern facilities throughout the island and it has now become a popular tourist spot.





The beaches are superb with clean, clean water. Scuba diving is excellent. There are a couple of flying clubs and lessons are much cheaper than on the mainland.





If you want to study, the University of Guam offers course in almost all disciplines.





Good luck and ENJOY!
Unless something's changed, he'll get one paid move of household goods. You will be able to move with the goods later, but there's a time limit (6 or 12 months, I think). If you currently live in Navy housing, you will have to move anyway, whether to Guam or some other home. I knew some guys who did their entire tour alone while their family stayed put. But they were usually homeowners, and the guy was planning on getting out at the end of the tour. Good luck.
This is a question you need to have resolved through official channels. Opinions expressed here are useless drivel for your purposes.





Have your husband inquire. I was under the impression that when a person moved, often the SM moved first, followed by the family, but things change....





You need an answer, however, not somebody's opinion.
