    As I'm German and living in Germany it may not be very helpful to me in that particular situation but nevertheless highly interesting how it all works, what you had to consider and how you organized yourself. Well done and you did an amazing presentation.!
    And girl I can tell you, you are truly well organized and imho you'll fit very well in the german culture. Being prepared, doing your research and being excited about the whole process. 😊

    This is fantastic! Thank you for such a detailed video! We’re unofficially PCSing to S Korea this summer (waiting on our RFO) and I already got a basic binder but now I think I need to go back and get this fancy one!

    Hello, where does one get the deferred authorization amendment? I am in the EFMP process but am already experiencing issues. I would like to avoid more delays, therefore the amendment you mentioned is helpful.

    • @blackriflehomestead
      @blackriflehomestead  5 років тому +1

      Hi there! That is something your service member will need to ask his chain of command/sponsorship team in the gaining unit overseas. I believe they are the ones who authorize the deferment.

    Great information but for those that are enlisted and not officers please note Officers get RFOs, Enlisted get PCS Orders.

      It’s for keeping all your PCS related documents organized and in an easy to access place.

      I'm so sorry for being behind with responding to comments! I hope this isn't too late. It all depends on the office and how busy they are, but under or within a month would be reasonable to expect.

      Hello Megan! Thanks for the question. He went through HRC for the amendment. Now, this was coming off of the Reserves into Active Duty, so it may be different if you're already Active Duty. But that's what the process was for us.

    How come you didn’t get the red no fee passport?

    • @blackriflehomestead
      @blackriflehomestead  4 роки тому +1

      I believe the red passport is only for government personnel. I could be wrong on that. But for military spouses, their no fee passport looks exactly like the regular travel passport except it has the SOFA stamp inside (basically a Visa allowing entrance and exit from Germany at will).

      I think I replied to you via FB messenger but for anyone else seeing this and wondering: yes, the EFMP screening is done one base at the EFMP office.

    Wait the government covered your pet travel expenses??? How????

    • @blackriflehomestead
      @blackriflehomestead  5 років тому +1

      It's been awhile since I made this video so I can't remember where in the video you may have picked up that information - but no, the government does NOT cover pet travel expenses. I'm sorry if anything I said made it sound like they do. Individuals are solely responsible for paying for all pet-related fees. We paid $275 for our 75 lb German Shepherd to be shipped here via Patriot Express.
