Will my wife and I have to PCS if I attend training that is 13 months long as part of my reclassification?

I'm currently stationed in Italy and I was just approved for a reclassification to a 68C (13 month AIT). Is it a PCS move for me & my wife?

I've heard over 20 weeks it is, I just don't want to accept and be surprised to find out she has to stay in Italy alone.

It would require a waiver to stay in Italy which the service member has to request. You will receive orders for PCS unless you have asked and received a return assignment to Italy, which does not sound is the case. Thank you for your service.

SPC Blomerth; you will be able to PCS your family although you won’t be able to drive that until phase 2. Contact me on outlook with your information, I will look into your situation. I currently work in the 68C schoolhouse.

It is more than likely a pcs move. The army won't know where to send you next until you are at least half way done with AIT. Your family should accompany you to Texas or wherever your AIT is located.

You should PCS. I did the same move years ago from Vicenza Italy to 68C (then 91C) school. At that time it was 5 weeks TDY at Ft Sam then 1 year at one of the MEDCEN phase II sites. You should PCS to the phase II site.

It's a PCS move. You'll receive PCS orders to your second phase with TDY enroute to your first phase. Your family won't PCS with you to your first phase. They'll explain your options at your levy brief.

Phase I is not a PCS move. You will go to San Antonio by yourself. If your pass that phase, then you will PCS together to Phase II
