New Relocating Tool For Military Families

Service Members Moving Just got easier!

I wish had these tools when I was in the Army.

Moving to a new community can be a stressful event for all service and family members. “This tool helps to ease that burden. It will put servicemembers and their families in direct contact with those who can help every step of the way, from their current home and community to the new one.”

When the user enters the current location, the new location and the departure date into the new application, it generates installation overviews, a three-month planning calendar, valuable travel and arrival checklists, as well as important points of contacts and family program information.

The Plan My Move tool is designed to coach servicemembers and their families through the entire moving process, step-by-step. And while most moving takes place over the summer, it’s never too early to start a plan.

Special features of Plan My Move include:

-- A planning calendar with useful information that can be customized to meet the unique needs of each move;

-- Decision tools, such as best communities to live in, best schools, and affordable housing, based on data from military and civilian comparative community studies;

-- “Smooth move” tips;

-- Special calendars for moving to or from an overseas location; and

-- Information about moving with a special-needs family member.

In addition, families will be able to access 55 directories of programs and services on installations worldwide, from the barber shop to DoD schools to the family center; maps and driving directions to most locations on the installation; overviews, photo galleries and must-know information for each installation included in the database; current local weather conditions; and extensive local community point-of-interest information.
