AECF Family Moving information

Hey everyone, currently in DEP and just wanted to ask about moving my wife and daughter during AECF. First off, is it something I can actually do while in A school because I've gotten mixed responses from recruiters. Second, will the navy pay for the move? Third, how long is schooling for AECF. ET and FC are both cool and im good with either one.

The navy will pay for the move if your school is longer than 6 months.
But in general, it is honestly not worth the trouble to move for such a short amount of time.

They will move you from your home of record to your first duty station, and when your family travels to that duty station. If they will be driving a car they will have to keep all gas receipts for reimbursement and if they fly then make sure they keep airline receipts. The navy only pays to move you to your duty stations. Any addition moves within that time without orders are out of pocket.
