 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. Summer is the busiest time for permanent change of station moves. If you're PCS-ing this summer, you might find fewer options if you wait too long to schedule your move date. The number of DOD-approved moving service providers are limited, so start your PCS paperwork as soon as you receive orders. To get started, visit move.mil and download the It's Your Move Guide to familiarize yourself with the process. The guide is filled with tips on how to make the move less stressful and other information related to your packout. Move.mil also offers self-counseling to prepare for your move and schedule pickup and delivery of your household goods. Before the movers come, make sure to evaluate your personal property. Take pictures of high-value items and their serial numbers. Once they finish packing, review all inventory sheets before you sign off on the shipment. Visit move.mil for more PCS resources.
