Resources to Streamline your Military PCS

PCS season is upon us. Many of us planned for this moment months in advance, only to have
plans derailed from our current military stop orders. Most families halted, while some applied for
hardship exceptions to move to the new duty station. As some prepare for their next move,
whether this is your first move, 15th move or your last move, it all seems stressful and daunting.
But not to fret. Now is the time for taking advantage of these great PCS resources for military
families.

Here are 3 fabulous resources to streamline your military PCS

Stressless PCS Kit

Have you had the military move you only to think you could do it better? Or perhaps you have
done a DITY (do it yourself) move to save money but had nowhere to start on the organizing
front. Insert the Stressless PCS Kit, created by C.C. Gallagher of Military Quality of Life
Consulting.

This kit will give you the structure to take control of organizing your HHGs (house hold goods)
prior to your move and receiving your shipment with a plan in place. It does not matter if your
HHGs will go to short or long term storage.

Included in the kit are color-coded labels, icons, and your personal notes paired with door
hangers and a room chart as a universal key. Working together, these items will assist all
parties involved with the relocation of your HHGs. This can transcend language barriers and
illegible writing on the outside of your moving boxes and create clarity of what is actually in each
box.

The notes allow you to handwrite notes on customized labels, different from that of the movers,
in the case that any items in your shipment get mixed in, lost or delivered to the wrong address.

Furthermore, this kit will prevent the purchasing of multiple boxes of labels, numerous rolls of
colored tape, packs of multi-colored markers or additional ink to print labels yourself.
