Things to Consider Before Your Military Relocation

Are you feeling stressed about an upcoming military relocation? Here are the things you need to consider for a successful move.

Although moving in the military is expected and frequent, that doesn’t make military relocation any easier for families. The best plan for a successful move is to take a proactive approach. Procrastination is no mover’s friend, and by taking the time now to consider the best plan for moving, you’ll make the entire process go as smoothly as possible.

Here are some of the top considerations for you upcoming military relocation:

Know What’s up with Your Family’s Weight Allowances

Do you know the amount of your weight allowance? This specific weight depends on your rank or on the rank of the service person in your family. The allowance is also dependent on the number of people you have in your family. Based on this information, the military will assign a certain weight allowance for your move, and anything the military moves for your family must fall within the weight guidelines. This allowance will impact your entire move, so it’s important to have this information before you begin the packing process.

Don’t Have Official Orders? Wait to Start Planning

It can be risky to plan your military move before you have received the official orders. As anyone in the military knows, things and plans can change quickly. It’s impossible to have enough details to move forward without the orders. However, you can go ahead and perform productive moving tasks like downsizing and researching moving companies.
