Moving Checklist for Military Families
On average, a military family moves or receives a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), every two to three years. And while it may be a familiar process, the logistics of a move can still be daunting.
Penske’s Military Call Center, which assists active military, veterans and their families through Personally Procured Moves (PPM), or “do-it-yourself’ (DIY) moves, offers these tips to for an easier transition.
Reimburse Your Receipts
PPMs can be a cost efficient option for military members, and expenses like tolls or packing materials can be reimbursed. Just remember to save and submit your receipts.
