That's a long time, I wouldn't think so, I moved from San Diego to Illinois, they picked up my stuff on April 25th and it got to our house in Great Lakes on May 8th. So about two weeks, they should give you a latest es delivery date like they said that my stuff would be there by May 12th. I can't imagine it taking a month.

They give you the longest estimate, it usually is a bit quicker. Ask about a separate express shipment, that would be specific necessities such as bedding, dishes, etc.

The property office has a list of what is and is not allowed. Call them, see what you can set up. Pretty sure you can do it online too (not sure though).

San Diego is a big base so I can bet they have a rental locker so you can rent stuff to use until you get your shipment. It can definitely take that long depending on when you move, but ours took like a 10-14 days from Ok to VA and that's only a 22 hour drive. Another factor is the truck drivers hauling the stuff have limitations on how far they can drive in one day, and how much they have to rest before they can drive again. But I would contact fleet and family in san diego about borrowing the stuff you need for that month until your HHG get there. We camped out for 6 months in WA with an air mattress and the basics lol it seems daunting but its easier than it seems.

Most of the San Diego bases (there are several) do have loan closets through Family Services, and there are civilian outreach programs to help out too.

I figured they would have something like that! I remember they had one in Everett when we moved up there and that's a smaller installation than SD. :)
