Listen closely to what they say—and what they don’t say. Small children may not be able to express their concerns verbally; older ones may not want to. Even very young children may have very specific apprehensions. Watch for behavior changes that may indicate things they aren’t saying. Plan to revisit this over the next few months.  \nP Find out as much as possible about the new location—housing, schools, recreation, sports, etc. Go to Plan My Move at [http://www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil/pls/htmldb/f?p=107:1:1679065128677894](http://www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil/pls/htmldb/f?p=107:1:1679065128677894 and search for)[ and search for](http://www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil/pls/htmldb/f?p=107:1:1679065128677894 and search for)[ ](http://www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil/pls/htmldb/f?p=107:1:1679065128677894 and search for)[the information on your new Base. Help your children do their own searches](the information on your new Base. Help your children do their own searches) ([or ask them to help you](or ask them to help you).)  \nP Contact the local Fleet and Family Service Center (FFSC) and ask if there is an outbound Smooth Move workshop coming up. If you are going overseas, ask about Intercultural Relations (ICR) training, workshops, or resources.  \nP If you are going overseas, determine what additional constraints there may be on having your pets and automobiles at the OCONUS location.  \nP Begin taking digital photographs of household goods, especially those of particular value. You will use these photographs if you have to make a damage claim after receiving your shipment. Plan to hand-carry or mail them to yourself and leave copies with a friend.  \n12 Weeks:  \nP Schedule a transportation appointment.  \nP Schedule a customs appointment, if necessary.  \nP Begin cleaning major appliances to avoid last minute spring cleaning.  \nP If living off base, check your rental contract to determine how much notice you have to give. Your rental contract should have a military clause that enables you to leave without penalty due to military orders. You may have to give the landlord a copy of your orders if you are invoking the military clause.  \nP If you didn’t do so when first discussing the upcoming move with your children, help them begin to assemble their  \n“personal items boxes.” These can be shoeboxes or similar sized containers that each child will hand carry. Contents are their choices. Expect them to change many times. Make sure that each child knows that the final selection must be made before the final pack out, but otherwise encourage this ongoing change management process.  \n8 Weeks:  \nP Notify your Personnel Officer if you have not yet received your orders.  \nP Request a sponsor, if you have not already done so, or if you have not been appointed one.  \nP Write to wives’ clubs, support groups, old friends in the area, family and your sponsor.  \nP Plan to wrap vacation time around your move. Write or visit travel agencies, state visitor’s bureaus and national park services to see what there is in the area you will be passing through.  \n7 Weeks:  \nP Get all necessary medical and dental work performed.  \nP Notify your landlord of your departure and make the necessary arrangements.  \nP Schedule house/apartment hunting trips and reserve temporary lodging.  \n6 Weeks:  \nP Call Family Housing to schedule a pre-termination inspection.  \nP If required, draw up a power of attorney to be left with a trusted friend so that someone can act legally on your behalf. For example, you may want to designate a friend to sell your automobile for you—this action would require a power of attorney. The power of attorney should be limited to the appropriate actions and timeframe. The Base Legal Services office will do this free of charge.  \nP Get official copies of marriage lice","cbCaiuKy7j3Q7gxV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuKy7j3Q7gxV","pdf",42114,"English","# Relocation Checklist\n## 12 to 24 Weeks (as early as possible)\n## 12 Weeks\n## 8 Weeks\n## 7 Weeks\n## 6 Weeks\n## 5 Weeks\n## 4 Weeks","[{\"question\":\"What should be done first when starting a relocation plan 12 to 24 weeks ahead?\",\"answer\":\"Start disposing of or giving away unnecessary household and personal items, and begin discussing the move with children while monitoring behavior for concerns.
