Last month, I shared the first half of what I deem as a rather epic list of “backwards” PCSing tips. (And yes, I am biased.) My Facebook friends contributed to the humorous list, and now I would like to share the second portion of the how-not-to-PCS strategies. (To get caught up and read the first post in this series, click here.)
Got your chocolate in hand and ready to laugh? Let’s dive into to the rest of our Backwards PCS adventures.
*Throw out all your chocolate and start a diet the week before you depart. As I mentioned in the first post, PCSing is really low key and a great time to make major life changes. Lots of restaurants across the country are helpful when it comes to making healthy choices, so go ahead– plan to run that marathon or fit into your pre-baby pants the week after you arrive to your new duty station. The odds are totally in your favor.
*Take your time removing all “unpack-able” items. Don’t get in any hurry to empty the coffee grounds from the coffee maker. Leave stew in a crockpot on the counter. They won’t pack coffee cans full of paint. You don’t even have to take out the garbage on moving day! You can actually wait until you get to your new house and take it out then because the packers will pack it up and put it in your new kitchen for you! Talk about removing the middle man.

Sharing all these tips helps me work up an appetite! I left my sandwich right here on the table next to the packers… but where did it go?
Blessed to laugh,
