Neighborhood-deep
We don't just list bases.
Every base gets an honest breakdown of the surrounding areas — who they fit, the real tradeoffs, exactly what to verify before you sign a lease.
What makes this different
No fluff. No fabrication. No email gate.
Honest sourcing — no fabrication
We never claim BAH rates, commute times, or school ratings ourselves. We link directly to BAH.gov, GreatSchools, DeCA, and the authoritative sources. If we don't know it, we say so.
Built for Navy, Air Force & Army
Not a one-size-fits-all relo site. Written for sailors, airmen, and soldiers by someone who's done this — with the specific bridges, BAH zones, and base quirks that matter for these branches.
Free. No login. No email gate.
Every tool, every guide, every map is open. We monetize by connecting families with vetted partners on the back end — never by holding content hostage.
From the moving playbook
Start at Stage 1.
Honest answers
Things people actually ask.
Is this affiliated with the Department of Defense?
No. PCS-Move.com is a private company, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a resource of the DoD, Navy, Air Force, or any government agency. We are independent so we can be honest about the system without managing inside it.
How do you make money if everything's free?
When you ask to be connected to a realtor, lender, or mover at the new base, we charge that partner a flat referral fee — never you, never your spouse, never your BAH. We disclose this on every connect form. We never gate content or tools behind a paywall or email signup.
Which branches do you cover?
Navy, Air Force, and Army — for now. JBLE's joint geography (Langley AFB + Fort Eustis are joint-based) made adding Army the natural next step from full Hampton Roads Navy + AF coverage. Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force aren't on the site yet; if your branch isn't covered we'd rather say so than fake competence.
Can I trust the recommendations?
Our standing rule is no fabricated facts. We never make up commute minutes, BAH dollars, school ratings, or commissary hours. When you see a number on this site, either we sourced it from a public authority (linked) or we built a tool that asks you for the inputs and shows its work.
