PCS

If you are PCSing this year, then you’ve come to the right place!

Here at Mission: Milspouse, we’ve faced our fair share of relocations, DITYs, government moves, overseas stints, and everything in between. We’ve been there and done that, and we have the stickers to prove it.

With all that experience, we know how stressful it can be. Packing and loading mean moving all of your belongings—special things, irreplaceable things—and none of us really want things broken or damaged. While we can’t ensure there won’t be casualties of PCS, we can help you prepare to make the move a little smoother.

Check out all of our blog post pertaining to all things PCS. Get ready for some practical tips AND insight into experiences of those who have been there, moved that.

Due to a serious lack of self-control around cute, furry things, my husband and I have managed to accumulate three dogs and a cat over the past several years. That’s right, three dogs—and they aren’t three Chihuahuas either. We added one at each duty station. Chris and I each brought one dog into our marriage, and we moved with two dogs from Fort Hood to Fort Benning. Then, we added a third dog at Benning, and the five of us (including my husband and I) PCS’d to Fort Bragg.

In the spring of 2009, my husband called me from Iraq and asked what I thought about an overseas PCS—to Korea. He explained that they had just opened command sponsorship to families, so our family would be able to go for two years, maybe longer. He had already served two tours in Korea, one before we were married and one when our girls were very small. There had been no command sponsorship then, but he loved it.

I immediately said yes.

My husband has been in the Army nearly 10 years. Sometimes I can’t believe he’s already this far into his career or that so much time has passed so quickly.
