Did you know that moving is the third most stressful life event that a person will ever experience? This speaks volumes about the stress related to moving. And if you are in the military, or a member of a military family, military moving is all the more stressful. There are several factors that can make military moving more challenging than civilian moves.

Furthermore, military families will be forced to... read more
