Navigating PCS Season: Moving Tips and Personal Updates

In this episode, join me as I record from my car during a busy PCS season.

 I provide essential information on military move entitlements like Dislocation Allowance (DLA) and Personally Procured Move (PPM), discussing eligibility and advanced payment options.

I also share insights on using moving alternatives like U-Haul, Penske, and pods versus U-Pack, and offer practical advice on comparing costs.

Delving into our personal moving updates, I talk about securing a house, packing, and the challenges of selling our current home, alongside some unexpected setbacks like broken fingers and car accidents.

Tune in for a mix of helpful tips and personal anecdotes from our ongoing PCS journey.
