Planning a Military Move

Posted on October 5, 2011 by admin

When it comes to a military move, there are generally two basic options for any family who has just received a new assignment. First, the traditional military move, which involves a free, full service affair paid for by the military itself in full, is considered an attractive option for many obvious reasons. However, if you are looking for a potential cash infusion, a DITY, or Do It Yourself move might be a good way to go about your military move.

When it comes to a DITY military move, you are responsible for letting the commanding officers of the enlisted member know that you are opting for this method ahead of time, as well as handling all aspects of your move from beginning to end by a certain time and date. Once your DITY military move is complete, you will be reimbursed a set amount of money based on the distance traveled and the rank of the enlisted servicemember. Plenty of DITY military move calculators are available online that can help you calculate how much your reimbursement check will be, so use this to your advantage. And if your DITY move expenses are less than the total amount of the reimbursement check for your military move, you get to keep the difference.

Once you have a solid idea of how much you can expect to be reimbursed for a DITY military move, start calling reputable moving vendors in order to get quotes on their services and rental prices. Calculate how much you will have left from the reimbursement check for your military move when all is said and done, and ask yourself if the extra money is worth the extra hassle. If you determine that the payoff was worth it, go ahead and submit your request for a Dity move as soon as possible and get to work!
