Retirement PCS
I just finished my retirement PCS and HHG move. As a retiree, do I qualify for mileage, hotel reimbursement, and partial DITY like I did as AD, or just the tender loving care of the lowest bidder who broke nearly everything he touched?

I know someone who lost almost everything on an overseas PCS when their freight container got accidentally dropped into the water.
The insurance process was absolute hell, and only recovered a fraction of what was actually lost.

Door to door San Antonio to Atlanta? Obliterated into shards, gouged, scratched, put back together incorrectly, or somehow damaged. I am so effing plssed off. Now I'll get effed again when I try to claim them.

Me too. Retirement PCS move was the worst of all of them, including overseas to Panama which was full of corruption at the time. Miraculously I ended up "overweight" even though I was underweight when I was moved off base to my rental while waiting for that final move. My goods were combined with another smaller PCS and was told they were weighed separately. Imagine my surprise when I was told I was way overweight (actually impossible since I didn't move everything that was moved off base) after the fact and had absolutely no recourse. Uncle Sugar was not interested in investigating my case at all. Besides all of the damage, it cost me a small fortune. Nice parting shot after 20 years of service. No....I'm not bitter about it.
