"We don't have the money to move people right now, but we're still going to move people, and we'll have the money eventually, so we're just going to wait until the last minute on everyone's orders, because rushing everything at the last minute is always a good way to save money."

It's called 'no-cost orders' and it does happen close to the end of the fiscal year.

Edit: surprised that people wouldn't know the Navy does this. Navy trying to save a buck and it screws you on your dream pick? The Long Dick of the Navy wouldn't do that...

While this is true, it happens that the end of the fiscal year is October. The 2017 budget confirmation has yet to occur though, and won't likely until February or later.

Something else to consider: If you're single, fiscal year won't impact you that much. Moving a barracks dweller to Japan is probably cheaper than an officer's family moved cross country.

This was pretty much what I heard. I was told this 3rd hand by someone who allegedly heard it from someone who heard it from our base cmc so i took it with a grain of salt.

we have until the end of the day to come up with a cool 2017 thread title. We need something that shows chiefs and officers aren't out of touch with lower enlisted.

Also on reddit there is a boot asking for underage drinking advice. His post history features him asking how to put chewing tobacco up his rear end.
