How to Handle a Military PCS Move Like a Pro
A Permanent Change of Station (PCS) can flip your life upside down—especially on a tight timeline. If you’re headed to or from Ft. Bragg, here’s how to manage your PCS like a pro.
1. Start Early, Even Before Orders Drop
If you suspect a PCS is coming, begin purging and organizing now. Fewer items mean fewer headaches later.
2. Understand What the Military Covers
Know the difference between a DITY (Do-It-Yourself) and government-move. With a DITY, you can hire labor-only help—like D3 Delivery—to load or unload your rented truck.
3. Build a PCS Binder
Track orders, expense forms, housing contacts, school transfers, and inventory lists. Having it all in one place saves stress later.
4. Pack a “First 3 Days” Bag
Include uniforms, toiletries, electronics, and basic bedding. It might take days for your full shipment to arrive.
5. Work With Movers Who Know Military Life
At D3 Delivery, we understand your urgency, privacy, and precision. We show up ready to go. From Fayetteville to your next duty station, we’ll help you move with honor.
