Heather and Nate got a lot of questions from their Instagram audience about the PCS (Permanent Change of Station) moving process. Today the couple will be revisiting their several PCS moves, if they had movers or chose to “DITY” (do it yourself) and the pros and cons to both methods. Heather and Nate share that there has been some changes to the PCS policies since their last move and why that could impact you if you’ve got a PCS move coming up. Heather also reflects on the importance of a positive mindset when it comes to these inevitably complicated moves that go hand-in-hand with military life. There will always be something, whether big or small, that goes wrong. But with a positive mindset, it will make your move go much more smoothly. Heather expresses how she looks forward to PCS moves now as they allow her and Nate an exciting opportunity to make new memories, be close to friends, and close to other exciting favorite spots like Disney. Overall, the advice from Heather and Nate is to do your research, don’t let others' negativity affect your positive mindset, and know that it will all be okay!
