WS6 veteran,
i did a DITY move from M.I. to San Diego and put my wifes sunfire up on a trailer and the gas was horrible but, as long as you save all your receipts you'll get reimbursed for it. also make sure you get as close to your weight limit as possible i.e. maybe a couple of bags of cement cus there gonna pay you based on weight as well

Hope you like it out there Sierra Vista. I was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson and I spent time down there around the Army base. I have a couple of friend that are civilian contractors on Fort Huachuca and they seam to like it. One of them has a bad *** red '02 WS6. His name is Scott and he's retired Army.

Requested dity advance giving my guesstimate weight of 5500.
They gave me $2200 up front ( advance based off 5500 lbs)
Bought penske, conducted move which cost me a total of about $2800 (thank god for per diem and DLA advance to cover extra cost.)
I ended up having 7700 LBS (had that 26 ft penske truck slammed).
Turned in all my receipts to cover me for $2800.
After they corrected what they had to pay me basing off of 7800lbs they removed the $2800 dollars I required for the move then what was left they taxed me %25 (i believe was in the 20-30percentile range). I ended up only making about $2100 after the move was done and the leftover was taxed. TOTALLY not worth the effort it took me to move that stuff.
BTW my weight limit was 8000lbs as an E-5. I do not have a lot of stuff so 7700lbs shocked me. Im only 22 and this is the stuff my wife and I have accumulated in only 3 years. So plan on needing a tractor trailer if your older have more stuff accumulated, etc.
Hope this helps out on anyone considering a DITY.
