SPC Private RallyPoint Member The army will help with your PCS/ETS to your last home of record. Everything else needs to be covered by you. Only way you could get help with relocating is if you went AGR and got stationed there. I asked the same question when I got out, as I was contemplating moving to OK so my wife could be by her sister.

Unless you’re on active duty (AGR also) the Army doesn’t pay moving expenses and doesn’t move your hhg. It’s not your “full time” employer and such doesn’t offer “full time” benefits.

Is Alaska where home is? If not, no. The Army will not pay to move you from your home of record to Alaska. That is on you.
