    Absolutely one of the best videos I have seen.
    Excellent job explaining exactly what to expect.
    Very very few CZcams videos explain things this well.
    Can't say it enough - darn good video.

    Wonderful video!! It’s neat hearing it from the service member’s perspective. Most videos I’ve found on CZcams are done by spouses. I’m actually a military spouse about to move to Germany! My husband is there already because I have to finish out nursing school in a couple months. I just started a CZcams series about PCSing to Germany and your video showed up in the queue under mine! Thanks again for all the tips :)

    Great Video with the exception of the title "PCSing 2018", and many things changed since your 2015 departure. DL can now be done online prior to your PCS & ur International License can be received upon arrival. The HUB for all flights to Germany is through ATL, unless you have pets you will travel out of DC. Upon arrival in STR there is no holding area, sponsor picks u up, or u taxi it to your hotel. Lodging is up to 90 days in hotel, & on base housing is based on availability if its not available you will live on the economy (It's not optional). If you PCS to Stuttgart, transportation is not an issue using public transportation, free transport from base to base, a 2nd car is optional.

Never really thought the day will be here lol but it’s getting close and I’m getting more nervous 😂 I thought I’d be more excited by now since it’s approaching but still somewhat excited for the new experience and future traveling 😊 I wish y’all good luck during your move and getting settled in soon!

    So what if you still owe money on your phone from your carrier? They can still unlock it as long as they have your orders? Please go in depth pleaseo

  • @jenniferholloway2374
    @jenniferholloway2374 Před 3 lety

    Sounds like it's mostly still the same as it was PCSing in 2004. Sponsors are a big deal to have in the first 60 days. If your sponsor isn't willing to help ask for another one. Ours was not willing to help us get to base. Travel, travel, travel!

    • @TheOfficialRickyBowden
      @TheOfficialRickyBowden  Před 6 lety

      BAS is roughly the same as it is in the states. While you're pcsing each family member will receive per diem for the entire time you're in the hotel.

    Ha ha, airplane food. I get it, it's not 5 star dining, believe me I know having PCS'ed a couple of times. And paperwork; you'll have paperwork to cover paperwork. It's redundant, but it's the military.

    AAA European License is ONLY good for German plated cars. You CANNOT drive a USAREUR plated car with a AAA International license. Great video tho! Brought back lots of memories. I worked and lived there from 2003-2015.
