Hi Blisshay,
He should have a sponsor at his new command who he should be contacting to help him with all of this. His sponsor should have reached out to him to offer assistance.
In the meantime, he needs to go to PSD with his orders to set up the move. If he can't go, he needs to call the PSD office at his A school base. Was his family living with him A school or did they stay home until he got his orders? Usually it is easier to move his family at the same time he moves - while he is allowed to request up to 10 days of house hunting leave from his new command once he gets there, he is not guaranteed to have it approved and it is not leave that he is able to take to leave the area and move them - he has to stay local and isn't aproved to leave the area. Most likely his command will not approve another leave for him to go get his family once he checks in, as that is what this current leave is supposed to be for.
Either way his first steps are to contact his PSD office - they will set up his actual move, and to get in contact with his sponsor at this new command, who can guide him through the rest. The sooner he does this the better! -

I replied in the forums, and abuon gave a very good answer here. I would like to add that if he has orders overseas, the process is different, and this includes Hawaii. So CONUS or OCONUS? (continental US or Outside continental US)

I will tell you this sometimes sponsors are dumb. My husbands sponsor writing skills are of a 4the grader and I could not believe what I was reading. Also he told him things were false. Like telling him his spouse and child must move with him when we don't because I refuse to live in a hotel for 3 months with a toddler. We can wait back at our home and when our house is ready we can move. She is right PSD office is the best option.
