PCS Poll: As military moving season nears, what’s your main worry?

Military families on the move put the need for greater financial support far ahead of other permanent change-of-station concerns, per a new survey. But we wanted to narrow the field a bit.

The Military Family Advisory Survey allowed participants to select from a wide range of PCS-related topics, covering everything from moving pets to hooking up utilities at the new home. Our poll below keeps it simpler; we hope to use the results to shape upcoming pieces on the military moving process.

No poll showing above? Click here. Voting ends at the end of the month.

Regardless of your chief PCS concern, you may find some answers (or at least reassurance) via some previous military move coverage. Some pieces include:

• Basic advice for your next move.
• Ways to get your family ready.
• Tips for ensuring (and insuring) a safe arrival.
