Military families: Tell us about your household goods move

Have you moved to a new duty station within the last year, or are you in the process of a permanent change of station move?

Tell us how your household goods shipment went — or how it’s going.

U.S. Transportation Command is in the process of transitioning to a new system for managing the shipment of troops’ personal belongings. We want to hear from you, whether you were assigned to the new system managed by the contractor HomeSafe Alliance or moved under the legacy system, where TRANSCOM assigned your shipment to one of the hundreds of moving companies that vie for their business.

Share any lessons learned from your move. Tell us about your experience working with the mover, including any issues. We also want to hear about your positive experiences.

Include your rank, branch of service, where you’re moving from and to and your contact information.
