KL - I know my granddaughter has a 14 month old and there was no way she was going to drive. They shipped the car and then she & the baby flew out there and the Navy even reimbursed my grandson for the air fare. The name of the car mover is Rock Bottom Transport. I will PM you a link and more info. If you mention my grandson he will get something for the referral.

Oh wow, thanks for the info Nana Donna! Do you remember what (car) shipper company you used?! I have a 10 month old baby and I REALLY dont want to drive cross country. Thanks!

The Navy will move you, in fact they will come in a pack, pick up your stuff and move it and even store it at the other end if you are not ready for it. I know this because just last month they moved my grandson's wife and baby to where he is in New Hampshire from Arizona. They picked up their things (it worked out perfect because he was home on leave when the movers came) then it took about 2 weeks to get there. So his wife and baby flew from AZ to NH and they even reimbursed him the cost of her flight. He had just finished A school in Groton and got his orders for the USS Miami which is dry docked in NH.
As far as the car they will not pay for that you will have to pay yourself. My grandson had his car shipped from AZ to CT and it was about $725 it all went very smooth and was delivered on time. This carrier was the cheapest we found and they offered a military discount. If you want more information just let me know.

Oh really, wow. I wasnt aware that the Navy can move me? What do they do? What would you suggest I do about my car? Will they pay to ship it or do I have to drive it from Cali all the way to CT? $4000 wow! So glad they reimbursed you!

Yep, I drove up twice from VA. We used ABF U Pack as the moving company but I would not recommend them. They kept charging us different fees without telling us about it. It ended up costing us around $4,000 for the move after everything was done. If this is your first time moving I def. recommend letting the Navy move you. This wasn't my first military move.

-
You drove up twice?! Where did you start from LOL....hope it wasnt too far! Would you reccomend the moving company you used?
-
-
We hired a moving company and I drove my husband's up, then my mom came to get my daughter and I so that I could drive my car up and pick up our dog. LOL, the questions are fine, I had soooo many questions while my husband was in bootcamp too.
-

Oh I see! How did you guys decide to move? rent uhaul and DIY or hire a professional? Did they pay to ship your car or did you tow it? Haha, sorry for all the questions!
