I just transferred from national guard to Active duty and I just spent the last 3 weeks in Missouri inproccesing into active duty. I have a pov sitting in my home state that I need here In Alaska so I have no way of getting to the nearest port for the Army to ship it. Would it be possible to be put on leave to retrieve my vehicle?

Leave in conjuction with Permissive TDY. You should be able to take an additional 10 days leave (non chargeable) to coincide with your original leave. It must be approved and annotated on your DA-31 LV Form. Also ensure your gaining installation know that you request PTDY in conjuction with PCS. Different posts have different policies regarding permissive tdy with a PCS. It will allow you time to find housing, etc if necessary. Good luck!

Of course. Typically the first thing your command might do is ask if you wanted to take some leave before you get too settled in. Keep in mind, that if they are hurting for bodies, they might try to compromise and ask if you could delay your leave plans for a month or so until the work center is stable. But yeah it's definitely possible. Just ask. If you've got leave on the books, it's your leave to use or lose as you see fit.

Go to https://www.pcsmypov.com/. There is a VPC in St. Louis and it can be shipped to Anchorage.

You could always drive it up I did the drive down worth every penny. About a 6 day drive if you go slow and take a few stops. What town in Wisconsin?
