First off, thanks so much to everyone posting here. I have learned an incredible amount of information from past, present, and future military docs on this forum that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. The reason for my post is to ask previous or current USUHS students about when people typically move their household goods to the DC area. I'm sure the answer to this question is coming in future paperwork after I send in my commissioning paperwork, but I thought this forum would be an easy way to get a quick answer. I'll be attending COT from the beginning of July to the beginning of Aug, so it seems that people would either move in June or sometime during the first few days of Aug. I suppose that if the beginning of Aug is the answer, then my wife will have to basically take care of everything and I'll meet her in D.C. Oooh, I'm sure she'll love that! Then again, I guess she better get used to it
I moved to DC after OBC. We had the military move us, so there really wasn't anything to get ready. If you're going to have the military move you, I would call to set up your move date when you get your orders, because dates tend to get filled up. The other thing that I would recommend is trying to get out to DC beforer COT to find a place to live if possible. It is frickin expensive out here. Also, try to use USUHS to help you find a place. Some of my classmates fared better than I did in finding more affordable housing by doing that. Congratulations on your acceptance. I'll see you in the fall.
