Vance:

We moved to San Diego last March. It was really expensive. I was hoping to be able to deduct some of my expenses on my tax return.

You:

Okay, let's see what we can do. First, I have to ask you a few questions. Where did you move from?

Vance:

We moved from my previous permanent post in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

You:

And San Diego will be a permanent post of duty?

Vance:

Yes. They say we'll be here for the next three years.
