Ultimate Guide to a Smooth PCS Move
When it comes to a PCS move, otherwise known as a ‘Permanent Change of Station’, there are a number of things you must make yourself aware of and do to ensure the move goes as smoothly as possible. Here’s an incredible guide to help you navigate your PCS move with ease and efficiency.
Top Tips for Your PCS Move
1. Create a Personal Moving Calendar
Start by creating a personal moving calendar that includes checklists and important phone numbers you will need throughout the process. This calendar will be your go-to tool for staying organized and on track.
2. Plan Ahead and Stay Organized
Summer is the busiest time to move, especially around July 4th and Memorial Day. Planning ahead and staying organized is vital. Ensure important dates and movers are scheduled well in advance.
3. Utilize Your Resources
Your Transportation Office (TO) and Personal Property Shipping Office (PPSO) are your main points of contact throughout your PCS move. Use these contacts and ask any questions from the beginning. They can provide essential information and support.
4. Start the Moving Process Early
Once you receive your confirmation and know your date range for moving, immediately start your moving process. The earlier you begin, the more organized and less stressed you will be. Contact your TO or PPSO for specific information relating to your move.
5. Get Professional Help
Speak to the professional and skilled moving team at National Van Lines. They can assist you with packing supplies, moving day services, and unpacking, ensuring a smooth and efficient move.
