Myth vs Reality

MYTH:

PERS-463 issues reimbursements for cost of personal storage facilities.

TRUTH:

PERS-463 does not issue reimbursements for storage.  However, PERS-45 does authorize members to store their HHG & POV in a non-temporary Navy storage facility during their IA/GSA/OSA.  Members who desire to store their goods should submit a request via the ia_hhg.fct@navy.mil mailbox as indicated in their orders.  PERS-463 does not designate the location of storage as this is done solely through the member's personal property office.  Members inquiring about storage locations and/or facilities may contact the personal property hotline at 1-855-444-6683 (855-HHG-MOVE).

MYTH:

Rental cars are authorized in all IA orders.

TRUTH:

Rental cars are not authorized in all IA orders.  Rental cars must be pre-authorized by the Local Area Commander or the authorization must be specifically noted in the IA orders.

MYTH:

PERS-463 manages IA/GSA/OSA missions and training tracks.

TRUTH:

The USFF Global Force Management Action Officer (GFMAO) manages all missions and training tracks.
