Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area
Since the Naval Air Station Kingsville is in Kingsville, Texas, it is on Continental US. That means the government and military won’t be paying for the shipping of the vehicles of most officers to the station. The officers will have to make their arrangements.
While the rule is the standard, there are exceptions under various cases. These exceptions will get the sponsorship. Contact your transportation officer with your PCS to know if you are eligible for sponsorship.
Of course, you will still have to make arrangements with shipping companies while you verify your eligibility.
