ABT: How to set up your 1st Military over PCS?

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

I'm currently trying to set up my military move online at move.mil. But I'm at a loss for how to set this up? I would like to move in about 3-4 weeks so I want to get this set up sooner rather than later. Does anyone else here have experience dealing with the ETA system online and what not in processing a PCS move? Thanks in advance. Also how does one go about setting up the 90 storage of your stuff that the military offers?

Move.mil instructions.

1) navigate to the site using IE or Safari.

2) smash head repeatedly against desk.

3) throw computer at wall.

4) call closest PPO, tell them it's your first move, ask when you can come in.

PPO? What's that? How do I get in contact with them?

Personal property office. Should be one at whatever military base is closest to you.

oh great a 50 minute drive, each way, for me...great!

Once you do it once you'll have a better idea but the first time it was near impossible.

Still working this, trying to figure out my order # on my orders in my email...what the....???

It's near the top of the first page.

I just went through all of this a couple of weeks ago. It is a pain. I arranged the relocation of HHG through the closest military base. They actually sent me an instructions sheet on how to do everything. If you'd like, I can email it to you. You have to make sure you go through the process on a PC through internet explorer.

Safari also works on most military websites as does Chrome. Firefox doesn't work on any.
