Military Families Deserve Their Pets

It is saddening to hear that official military documentation (JFTR) for a permanent change of station (PCS) says that the Air Force will pay to move people, household goods, and a vehicle, but not pets. For most pet owners, pets are part of the family (sometimes they even serve as surrogates for kids!). In one particular family's case, they found out that the total cost to move their large dog was $5,000. PCS orders can sometimes happen on short notice and that means that families may have to leave a family member behind.This is a choice that they should not be forced to make. Please act to include pets as part of a PCS for all military services!
