What is the most difficult aspect when moving from one duty station to another (Or PCS'ing as we might call it in the Army)

Ben,

I am quite surprised that no one ever responded to this post as I know almost everyone that has been in the military has had at least one bad experience while making a military move.

Where to begin though: I would think the number 1 headache for anyone is the transportation piece for your household goods, there is always going to be things either broken or lost, no ifs ands or buts, it always happens, in 27 years of military life and 11+ moves during that time, I never once had a clean move without something being broken, and the lost items I could fill a medium sized bedroom with.

Orders and the proper verbiage on them is another issue, such as dependents, right # of dependents. Selling old house or closing out govt. quarters is a big issue at times.

There are so many that it would take hours to list all the minute ones that exist, but I think I hit on the major one for most people and a few other choice ones as well.

Maybe I can bump this topic up so it can get some positive feedback for you.
