Communication is key to making a PCS with children go smoothly. Children can learn about their new home before moving by looking at maps, newspapers or pictures of the new area. The Department of Defense Standard Installation Topic Exchange Service Website, at www.dmdc.osd.mil, offers information on installations worldwide, as well as the local area surrounding each installation. The Military Child Education Coalition has set up a new website, www.schoolquest.org, a secure online service for helping locate new schools when families receive orders. The website pulls up school information for the military community they are moving to that match the needs of their family.
To find and learn about military installations, visit the Military.com Installation Guide.
