I was just told that 140 days or more in the Guard constitutes a PCS... versus 180 days for Active Duty.

I'll check the JFTR, but can anyone verify that is what they have actually seen?

WTF? Guard PCS? Is that the same thing as down to earth O-10? Or in regs mustache? All stuff that doesn't go together.......

I'm not a flyer, but my PME was over 180 days and being guard, they consider over 139 days in the JFTR to be the magic number.  

PCS'ing in the guard is never a PCS, it's temporary duty (TDY) for something like pilot/tech training or whatever.  Since you never detach from your home station, your PERMANENT station, it's never permanently changing stations in practice; even in theory, it's not a PCS.  But the ANGI or JFTR will tell you it is, to save $.   

I do wonder how legal it is to send somebody on temporary duty but pretend, by writing into an instruction, that it's a full up, permanent move from one station to another.  Just because it's called a PCS, doesn't mean you can't take to the JAG and/or IG for investigation into fraud. 

More than 139 is a pcs but there are instances where it can be a tdy, in those instances the traveler will recieve flat rate per diem instead. Most people on a PCS like this won't do a full move, maybe a partial dity (ppm)
