So stuck right now and have no idea how to do any of the moving stuff. He just got verbals to Everett, WA, and I have no idea how it works. I am currently at our home in Iowa and he is in Pensacola for his last week of A school. I am trying to figure out what to do about moving and how I would go about it. I have no idea who to contact etc. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I am also curious, does he have to report to his duty station before we can move, or can we pack and go while he is on transfer leave?

Once he has written orders in hand he can set everything up for your move.You can't do anything.His instructors can point him in the direction to go.Moving isn't too hard.Once he gets everything set up the movers will come do a pre-inspection of your household goods to see how many boxes will be needed.The then come and pack you out and load the truck usually within 2 days.They will let you know what they won't pack.Liquids flamable stuff things like that.The process isn't that hard.You will also get DLA(dislocation allowence).It helps with hotel stays,food things like that.Your only suppose to drive 8 hrs. a day and the Navy has a set amount of days to get from point A to point B.All the details will be explained to your spouse.We had 2 weeks to get ready to move from Hawaii.That was tough because we had kids and pets.If your moving yourself it is different.I just takes along time to pack yourself and do all of your lifting.I like for the movers to do the work.Less stress on me.You usually have time in betweem duty stations to find housing.

We are newly married and I have no idea what I have gotten myself into... I am almost 5 months prego, so moving will not be done by me, but who does he have to see about all of the moving stuff? How much time aand is it different because he is just finishing A-school? He is horrible about taking care of things, that usually falls to me to get everything set up etc. so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!
