“Those are all good questions,” he said.

PCS moves are on-going based on local conditions to move, however, like many across the United States, those release dates are currently unknown, including for Navy personnel in San Diego.

Recently, the DoD put June 30th as the last day of the stop movement.

“There is no good answer,” Depree said regarding if local military can PCS after that date.

Military bases around the country have been instructed by the Defense Department to balance phased opening guidance from their local communities with Defense Department rules.

Today, San Diego County has oepned beaches to “passive” acitivities including sun bathing. DePree said base beaches will now follow that order as well, limited only to household units.

Where barber shops are opening in the city, and Miramar has opened its golf course, things are still closed on local Navy bases including Coronado. Marine Corps base such as Miramar and Pendleton fall under a different command.
