Thanks Steve'sMom, I just started our process of prepping for our move in July and realized there was no group for it and I was like well I need to start something for every one else.
Chuck's Chick, are you married they will only move his stuff from home one time (I believe). If your not married or his already move to his first duty station it will be on your dime.
