About the moving process
My husband and I have been really needing to get a new vehicle. But since my Basic training is coming so quick we were going to wait until we moved to get a new vehicle. But I was wondering: We are planning to do a Navy move and not a Do it yourself move. Will the uhaul or whoever transport our vehicle there. My husband really doesn't want to drive because we have a nine month old baby and that would be such a nightmare to drive for 12 hours with her. So he really wants to fly. Is this possible? Thanks

I don't know much about the navy move process since we did a DITY move, but I can say that we drove from Oklahoma to California with a 4 month old and he was fine, slept the whole way. We just moved from California to here (SC) with our now 21 month old and it wasn't bad at all. He was an angel! We drove for about 4-5 hours straight and then took an hour to run and eat and played when we got to the hotel and in the morning before we left. Just something to consider.

Ok thanks for the info! I'm sure she would sleep a lot, but I just can't imagine him doing it and not having my help...you know men! LOL

i'm 90% pretty sure the navy doesn't cover that. you might have to pay for it...i don't think a 12 hr drive would be that bad..just stop every 2-4 hours..i've done 8-9 hour trips with 2 dogs on my own over 10 times and I did it twice pregnant, I know dogs are a bit different, but if I can do it, anyone can :) a hotel halfway through would be good too..that way the trip is only 6 hrs which isn't bad at all. maybe have him drive during the times your baby is usually sleeping?

If you do the DITY move, then you should be able to go home to help him move to SC I thought. My husband graduates BC next Friday and he told me he is coming home on the 23rd to get me and the baby.

Ahh, sorry, I misunderstood my husband when I asked him. They'll move one if you're going overseas, but not within the continental U.S. Sorry for the confusion!

My husband said that the navy will not move personal vehicles. Thats what they told him during his moving brief or whatever.
I don't drive at all, no license, so he did both of those moves driving by himself. He said it wasn't that bad but hes not eager to do it again. -
