Have your received your written order for PCS or TDY? If so, you have 3 options for performing your move.

- Full DITY: The service member can make arrangements and move at their own expense and be reimbursed by the government.
- Partial DITY: A combination of the two options above.
Under the DITY or PPM program service members can receive reimbursement up to 100% of the Government constructive Cost for hiring their own carrier, or up to 95% of the Government Constructive Cost for moving their own property.
