Managing Your Military Move
We are continuing our series of articles discussing tips to help you manage your military move. Our previous articles covered the importance of doing some pre-planning, engaging a full service moving company, and offered some tips on packing. Today, we will explore some of the logistics involved with military moves.
Consider the Logistics
Understanding your entitlements will save you from unnecessary headaches. Familiarize yourself with the most common reimbursements and entitlements available to military personnel during moves, such as Dislocation Allowance (DLA) and Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE). Knowing what you’re entitled to will help you properly budget and plan for upcoming expenses.
Transporting your family members and pets to your new home requires careful consideration. If you’re traveling by air, check the airline’s regulations and pet policies in advance. Some airlines have restrictions on the size and breed of pets allowed in-cabin, while others require pets to travel via cargo. Also, ensure you have pet-friendly accommodations awaiting you at your destination.
Considering the logistics ahead of time can save you headaches during and after your move. Our next article will discuss ways to help your family settle into your new home.
