It was a not funny joke that whenever you PCSed (were transferred to another duty station), you could expect not to get paid for 1-4 months. And god help you if you attended any schools in between duty stations! They used to tell you that you should have at least four months worth of pay saved up for such an emergency -- most troops didn't get paid enough to have that kind of pad!
