I know of somewhat similar cases where service people leave their goods in storage under a spouses or friend’s name.
Girlfriend doesn’t want to be girlfriend anymore and quits paying the storage bill. How’s the guy to know since the unit is in her name?
He comes home, no girlfriend, no nothing. Now that would fry your bacon.
That is self-storage, not military ordered non-temp storage or storage in transit. NTS and SIT are payed by Powertrac under the oder of the PPSO in the region. When the PPSO stops paying, they issue an order to convert it to member's expense.
