fter last year’s guide received more than 10,000 downloads in less than five months and a great deal of positive feedback from the military community, the SargesList team decided to make the guide a yearly undertaking. The 2013 version is completely updated for the new year and is available just in time for the military’s biggest PCS season. Like last year, the guide was completely produced by a team of veterans and 12 military spouses who draw upon many years of PCSing experience. It includes time-tested tips, worksheets, checklists, and everything military members and their families need to get organized, get going, and get settled into a new community. It also provides step-by-step instructions, chronological information, current financial entitlements, checklists, PCS acronyms, and worksheets and tips for budgeting, planning, and executing a successful move. Readers will also find easy, clear instructions on navigating the government’s DPS military move system. Additionally, the guide includes tips on househunting, road trips, Exceptional Family Member information, and even pet relocation. New features this year include articles from seasoned military spouses with tips about PCSing while pregnant, PCS fitness, PCSing alone, Exceptional Family Member information, and more. SargesList is encouraging its readers to share the guide freely—personally and professionally—with the intention
