Thanks again for more great information on how to get over there. All this helps in putting my mind at ease one bit at a time. I hope you know how helpful your vids are and hope we run into you and thank you in person!
Thanks! You’ll find info on both those topics here: www.dtvdanieltelevision.com/2022/01/03/30-things-you-must-know-before-pcsing-to-germany-with-the-us-military/
Thank you for continuing to provide the great information to us! Just wondering can I put an Airtags on our dog crates? We will be using a professional pet shipping company since we have two dogs. This would be a great way to track them as well, if allowed.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! As far as an AirTag in the crate, I don’t see why not. There’s plenty of spots to safely put one in there. Also I’m curious which pet shipper you’re looking at? I work with feathers and fur express to help incoming military families - ffexpresspets.com Here’s a full review I did on them: ruclips.net/video/Wei-3ainklo/видео.html
Hi. Good question. I've heard yes and no with regards to reimbursement on the 70lb shipment to yourself. I would expect to come out of pocket for that, but I would also KEEP RECEIPTS and claim the expense as reimbursable items just in case. Some of the items to include can be fragile items, extra clothing that you'll want right away (more than likely cold/rainy weather clothing for NOV/DEC), toiletries or name brand items that you can't find in Germany, seasonings and non-perishable food, and anything else you need immediately. Also, check out the on post prohibited items before mailing: ruclips.net/user/shortshPGM88yzMQo
It’s all about mindset and preparation. This could be an incredible opportunity for you and the family, maybe “once in a lifetime” type thing (if you continue to tell yourself this). But there’s definitely sucky parts to the move. With 6 kids I would focus on: 1. Logistical paperwork- ie: get everyone command sponsored, passports, and EFMP screenings out the way first. If you have a pet, that’s the next big step. 2. Your car situation- make sure you have a reliable vehicle to transport everyone for the next few years, and that you ship it out early enough to have it when you arrive 3. School- find out where they’re physically going to school so you can make a plan for the right area to live in with regards to easy transportation for them all. To be honest, any of my checklists will help you out and walk you step by step. I then follow up with super helpful emails that tell you EXACTLY how to execute each topic (most important and most expensive topics first!). Kids or no kids, everyone “goes through it” on this PCS, but things fall into routine once you arrive :) Lastly… get a reliable sponsor that you can trust and who has your back when you need the little things! 😊 Don’t be afraid to ask more questions! Good luck 👍🏾
THANK YOU! Ive done it many times...as a dependent (MANY years ago) but never as an adult on my own. Your videos are super helpful.

You’re welcome! Thank you so much for the validation! Beers on me if we run into each other 🍻
This is perfect. Thank you. I have PCS’d to Hawaii but Germany seems to be more complicated.
Ya not sure about Hawaii, but yes, Germany is a liiiittle complicated :) Thanks for watching!
A lot of great info! Can you do one for shipping the cars and maybe the dogs one too

Good info!
Any suggestions on what kinds of items we might want to mail to a PO box? Also, is that 70lb per shipment free?
