Military PCS moves come with thousands in entitlements most people never claim because the rules are buried in an 800-page regulation nobody reads. PCS Copilot turns your specific move details into a personalized playbook: exact dollar amounts for DLA, mileage, per diem, and temporary lodging, plus a week-by-week timeline and full checklist. Works for all 6 branches, CONUS and OCONUS. Built by an active-duty Air Force member who got tired of watching peers leave money on the table.
I'm active-duty Air Force and I've been through three PCS moves now. Every single time, it's the same thing you get orders, you Google "PCS entitlements," and you end up buried in the 800-page Joint Travel Regulations trying to figure out what you're actually owed.
The crazy part? Most military families leave $1,000–$5,000+ on the table every move. DLA, MALT, per diem, TLE, PPM reimbursement, it's all there in the regulations, but nobody reads them and nobody tells you. I watched peers miss out on thousands because they didn't know to file a PPM claim or didn't realize TLE got extended to 21 days.
So I built PCS Copilot. You answer a few questions about your move, rank, branch, where you're going, dependents and it generates a personalized playbook with your exact entitlements in dollar amounts, a week-by-week countdown timeline, and a checklist tailored to your situation. Takes about 2 minutes.
The hardest part of building this wasn't the tech, it was making sure the information was right. Military entitlements change constantly (PPM is paying 130% this summer instead of 100%, for example) and every branch has different systems and processes. I spent more time reading regulations than writing code.
I kept it at $15.99 one-time because the military community has been targeted by overpriced financial products forever. I wanted something cheap enough that an E-3 wouldn't think twice about it, but thorough enough that an O-5 would still find it valuable.
Would love any feedback especially on the intake flow and the playbook output. And if you know someone PCSing, send them my way. Word of mouth is everything in this community.
