On this episode of The Military Millionaire Podcast, I am sharing the ultimate no-BS playbook to help you navigate the chaos of a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). My inbox is constantly blowing up with questions from service members who are stressed, confused, and getting screwed by the system during their moves.

I break down exactly how to structure your move—from leveraging partial PPMs to mastering the finance office—so you can avoid paying out of pocket. We also cover practical packing hacks and the critical "do not pack" room strategy to protect your valuables. By following this guide, you will make your next move smoother, cheaper, and potentially even profitable.
