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. 

What Military Home Buyers Want to See in Your Home Ad

by | Feb 24, 2022 | ,

If you’re selling a home near a military installation, you may think that, in light of the continued sellers’ market, all you need to do is clean your home, get it on the market, and voilà!… you’ll be signing closing paperwork. But there’s so much more when it comes to home selling and setting your home listing apart from others! The key is to think like a home buyer and provide the information they’re looking for when home shopping. We took a poll on social media and are sharing a few features military home buyers say they want to see in a property for sale, beyond the basic info like number of bedrooms, baths, garage size, and storage space.

When a Hotel is Home

When a Hotel is Home

by | Nov 23, 2021 | , , ,

Sometimes, I enjoy the simplicity of staying in a tiny place, whether it’s a guest room in a family home while on R&R, a calling a hotel home while traveling, or a temporary lodging facility (TLF) on an installation during the transition of a PCS. Maybe it’s even a cramped apartment while stationed overseas. Sure, it can be a challenge as family members trip over each other while getting ready in the morning, or figuring out sleeping arrangements, or having six family members share one bathroom.

But, I also appreciate how small spaces can actually tend to alleviate a little stress.

The No Good, Very Bad, COVID PCS

The No Good, Very Bad, COVID PCS

by | Oct 22, 2021 | , , ,

Almost every day, for the last three weeks, I’ve started my morning with a special brew. I walk down to the cozy café (that is, the breakfast lounge of the installation hotel—PCS, anyone?), and pour the nearly fresh coffee into its signature Styrofoam cup. I’m a decaf person, but depending on the night from which I have just awoken, I may mix myself a half-caffeinated cup of coffee, or a few times now, full-on regular.

So yeah, it’s been a little rough.

What First-Time Renters Need to Know about Renters Insurance

by | Aug 25, 2021 | , , ,

During your first PCS, you’re so overwhelmed from learning move.mil and jumping through all the hoops that you’re just trying to survive the chaos. You’ve also packed, loaded the car, and headed to the new house you worked hard to find and budget for. Your first thoughts driving across the country probably aren’t about renters insurance, but military families need renters insurance.

When you’re first starting out, you don’t know what you don’t know, right?
