When I move my stuff, I can do it without any damage to it... At the very
worst, at least I'm not charging myself an arm and a leg to damage my own
stuff...

My solution was always to drive the family out then fly back and make
a liesurely trip with the other vehicls(s). Cheaper than shipping
everytime I checked. On top of that I could almost always swing a
space-available hop so that the flight was "free". The last time was
a blast - old Scout pulling a 17 ft boat with all the wife's house
plants and a 90 pound German Shepardfrom Madison, WI to Colorado.
Took 3 days with lots of stops before starting the grind of a new
asssignment.

Moving your stuff is a hassle especially when the Army only gives you 45
days notice and won't release you from your unit and only give you 10 days
to get across country. The Army did not give him much of a choice in the
matter. From what I have seen the Army is probably the worst out of all the
Services when it comes to PC moves. I was stationed with the Army for 18
months and it was a friggin night mare. When I was stationed with the Squids
at GTMO it was probably one of the smoothest PCS moves I had. The Air Force
also gave me a good move from NH to NY.

As your Son would say to one his recruits, if the ARMY had wanted
you to have a family they would have issued you one.
