Well what a HUGE surprise this was! DH called me yesterday at work and told me that he opened his email and got a email stating he was selected to go to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska and his report no later date is in December right before Christmas!! We are so shocked, stunned, surprised, happy we don't know what to think or do!! From what I understand Elmendorf AFB is a choice base and just 2 months ago they were actually getting rid of people in DH career field there, so we got VERY lucky! What cracks me up is DH has had VA and FL down on his dream sheet for 5 yrs, and nada. DH puts Elmendorf down in January and bam he gets hit with orders 2 months later. We were NOT expecting this. This hit so suddenly and unexpectedly.
So anyways for anyone who has PCSed I need tips and advice. This is our 1st PCS and we don't know what the heck we are doing How should we go about transporting our pets? I'm really stuck on that one. Also should we drive the whole way, or drive to Washington then take the ferry to Alaska and drive the remainder 800 miles to Anchorage? We really didn't wanna fly there as we want to make sure we have our car and didn't wanna have to rent one while we waited to get our car there.
We were also told it could take up to 30 days to get our stuff. Is that about average or should we be getting our stuff sooner?
Any tips or advice you can give would be awesome!
