The Reality of a Military Relocation and Making it Easy

The words "you're about to get moved" strikes fear in alot of peoples hearts, but it doesn't have to be that bad. With a little planning, and organization, a military move can run smoothly.

Start early. As soon as you get those orders in hand that you are indeed being moved, start you're planning. Reserve any U-hauls or trucks you may be taking. Start calling the transportation office that will be moving you're household goods, if you'll be doing them.

Get rid of things. Seriously, start going through everything, bit by bit, and decide whether you really want it or not. Most people have so much more than they even realize, until they have to move it. Donate stuff. Have a yard sale. Give stuff to your neighbors. In the end, it will help not to have so many items to pack. You'll find out you didn't even need them. But its best to start early, that way you can be thorough. and while you're at it, it doesn't hurt to pack up some things that you won't need anyway. It's May and you're moving in July? Pack up the winter clothes now.

Start stocking up on boxes, paper or bubble wrap, wrapping tape, and anything else you'll need to pack with. If you're letting the military move you, it won't matter as much because the movers will do it for you. But if you're doing the moving yourself, you'll need lots of stuff to pack everything in, and you may as well get an early start. Also start buying garbage bags, lots on them, and cleaning supplies. You'll need them.

If the military is moving you, call the transportation office as early as possible to set up a date.The moving companies are usually swamped and you'll want to get your day written in as soon as possible. Same goes for any hotels you may be staying at when you leave, and when you arrive at your next duty station.

Got kids? Start recruiting babysitters NOW. Once moving day(s) come, any young kids are going to be extremely difficult to watch. Especially with the movers sometimes coming in teams and leaving doors open. Offer to babysit someone elses kids for free now, so they'll return the favor later.

Paperwork. You all know how much the military loves paperwork, and moving is no exception. Get everything in writing, dates, your spouses orders, everything the movers may do for you. Keep a calendar with all important dates and times

Take pictures of expensive items. If the military is moving you, you won't get the moving company you may want. So, you never actually know WHO you're gonna get, therefore take pictures of all expensive and valuable items in case they get damaged in the move. That way, there is extra proof of you actually having those items.

Feed the movers. Keep them happy with coffee in the morning, soda and water in the afternoons. Get pizza's and donuts. Satisfy them with food, and they'll probably be easier on your items.

Above all, look at the experience with happiness. You're going to a new place, with new adventures and people!

How to Make Moving Easier
For Your Kids

By T. McSpadden

"I spent the first 18 years of my life as an military brat. Nearly every two years my father got stationed in a new city meaning that my mother, older brother, and I had to pull up stakes and move to a new state starting over once again. I was lucky enough to be one of the few military brats I ever knew that loved moving from place to place. For me it was always an adventure, a chance to start over with new friends and see new things. I assumed my brother felt the same way but when we got older he told me how much he hated having to leave his friends and go into a classroom full of strangers. The thing he hated most, he told me, was how our parents always seemed to wait until the last minute to tell us we were moving. In retrospect I know he was right and now make it a point to be sure that I treat my daughter differently when it comes to moving by keeping in mind all the little things that used to upset me, and other military brats, growing up.

"The one thing I did actually hate was that it didn't always seem to occur to my parents that they should let us know when we were going to move. Telling a child about an impending or possible move as soon as you know can save your little one a lot of heartache. Often children find out about big events by overhearing their parents talk when they think the child is sleeping.

"Other times a close friend of the family or their child might be the one to tell your child. Some parents don't think twice about discussion an upcoming move with a friend or coworker especially when they have to give notice to their job or they want to make arrangements to keep in touch with this friend. These friends might mention the move to their children who could tell the moving child without knowing that their friend has no idea they are going to be moving. Or the friend or coworker themselves might mention the move to the child never dreaming they haven't been told.

"Both of these scenarios can be upsetting to a child regardless of their age. A young child might be confused when they hear from a friend or adult about the move then hurt when they find out that it wasn't all just some big mistake. An older child might be angry and embarrassed if they feel like they are the last to know about a potentially huge life altering event. It might even lead to future resentment.

"Once your child knows that the family is going to move, do what you can to help them keep in touch with current friends. That will make leaving them a little easier and ensure they still have peers who can relate to them while they are working on making new friends. Buy your son or daughter an address book or an electronic planner that will store name, address, and phone numbers. Also help them take pictures of themselves with their friends so they can remember good times with them. If your child is older and likes speaking on the phone get them a few phone cards so that they can speak to their friends whenever they want without running up a large phone bill. Whatever you do make sure that your child knows this is not the end of their friendships and that many people can remain life long friends even when they live far apart."
