Moving
My husband just classed up and started his schooling. He will be graduating three weeks before my school year ends. Will the navy pay for my move when I'm alb to move or do I have to move my stuff with him? Also, I thought I read where they will send someone in to pack for me. Is this wrong and I just imagined it? Any helpful tips would be great. Thanks

You can delay your move by three weeks. Yes, the Navy will provide a packout. That needs to be schedule through the Personal Property Office before he checks out on leave, often there is a wait for movers, so that should work out. Prep for you move now, start by sorting your things, and get your paperwork in a file for travel.

You can take my advice for what it's worth, buuuut. If I were you and wanted to have the navy come in and move me, and my husband was getting to the new duty station before me, I'd probably have them come in and move my stuff a week or two before your school ends. Just keep what you need, and while it may be a pain to live without your stuff for the week or so, let's be honest, how much stuff do you really use when you're in the middle of finals week. ;) Anyways, when the Navy moves you, it can take a few weeks for your stuff to arrive at the new location anyways, so if you time it so that you live without your stuff during the last week or two of your schooling, it could make for a much more pleasant experience when you arrive at your duty station and you don't have to wait for your stuff to arrive. :)
Good luck!

Yes they will send someone to pack if you decide to let the navy move you, but they will only do one move, they wont do one for him and then three weeks later do one for you too (idk if you were asking that for sure but I couldn't tell if you weren't so I thought I would say it jic so you would know. lol). Even if he graduates three weeks before your school year ends, he might be on hold for awhile (my husband was on hold for 5 days, then he had two weeks for leave between a school and reporting to his first duty station so it might work out just right timing. When they moved my stuff from OK to VA it took them about a week to get it there. They are limited by how far they can drive at once, and if they happen to get to the duty station before yall have a place to live, when they call you to tell you that your stuff got to the new location you can ask them to store it until you have a place to get it unloaded (I think you get 90 days free.).
