How Do I Prepare to PCS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you should make sure your PCS orders are correct. Mistakes do happen, so it\u2019ll be good to double check the information to make sure everything is correct, especially if you do find a discrepancy. Afterward, you should discuss it with your family. It\u2019ll be good to discuss your new adventure as a family and answer any questions your children might have for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government will pay for most costs associated with your move, according to military.com<\/a>, so make sure you\u2019re aware of what costs the government will reimburse you for and make sure you save your receipts. The most common government-paid travel allowances include personal and dependent travel, household goods and vehicle shipment, dislocation allowance, and temporary lodging reimbursement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Keep in Mind During a PCS Move?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want to keep track of any high-value items such as jewelry, electronics, or collectibles and keep them with you. Additionally, you\u2019ll want a toy for your children, and you\u2019ll need a pet toy, food, water, and dishes for your pet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
