A buddy of mine told me that you could get one year initially and then request extensions after that for potentially up to two to three years (I can't remember exactly). On a LI Vet forum, I saw some posts that showed folks not moving for two years and it involved requests to extend. But I also noticed the gouge passed by the so called "HHG experts" varied widely to the service members. Another poster on this forum said 180 days plus 180 days.

I tried reading the JFTR (or JTFR) myself and couldn't seem to decipher the language enough to confirm the timeline. But I did notice that there was also a section in there on goods being placed in storage and then moved.

We plan on living where we are at for another 18 months after retirement until the oldest graduates high school and then punching. I will be visiting the move folks soon to see what they say. Recommend you do the same. If they say anything less than two years, I would reach out to another base for a second/third opinion.
