Whenever I tell a Civilian (aka a non-military member) how often we move, I get a number of reactions. Horror. Pity. Fascination. Envy. But always, always! there is curiosity. Many people have never had to move their entire household to another state. And the sheer enormity of that task sounds daunting. One of the first questions is usually, "Do they move you, or do you have to do it?" And when I answer, "Oh, they pack and move our stuff," the person I'm talking with usually has a physical reaction. Their shoulders and back will move in such a way that it looks as though a weight is literally being lifted off their shoulders. Like, oh no big deal! They move you! That's a piece of cake!
HA!
Well although a moving company comes to our house and puts everything we own in boxes and ships it to our gaining base, moving like we do is anything but a piece of cake. The amount of work that goes into a move is daunting, and tiresome, and at times overwhelming. So I thought it might be interesting to document our next move. You can decide for yourself whether or not a military move is a piece of cake.
