As most users access this system every two years or so, usually users have to make a new login for every move. However, their record stays consistent and collected on the back end, despite the change in logins.

A fairly common special case that causes problems for the back office as well as for the servicemembers, who often have to get reimbursement issues solved in the months following the move.
