Purge the clutter that you're not going to take with you. Make a to-do list of stuff to cull and where to cull it from before you go. (Medical record copies, for example, take up to 6 weeks to get if you want them.) When are you supposed to get the orders and when is the move supposed to be?
We should get the "not official yet but most likely" statement next month. Official orders will come through in September. Hubster, bless his pointy little head, wants us to move in August before the kids start school.
We did a pretty drastic cull when we moved here last October. Unfortunately my medical issues keep me from doing too much right now.
Have you done a whole-house inventory? Checked your credit reports just to make sure you're not a victim of ID theft (as opposed to trying to sort something like that out with a new address)?
I had a friend whose husband had soft orders to Quantico, so she did all the research and everything, then when his hard orders came, they were to Montgomery, AL. She was not happy.
Some good friends of ours had orders to Omaha, NE...which changed to Minneapolis, MN and finally they're ending up in Davenport, IA. It's great FUN!! Glad we haven't moved in 11 years. Not going to move before he gets out, either.

I hate waiting. Really.
