PCSing - November Military Dinner Table Conversation

What is the hardest part of the PCS?

We know that PCSing (aka moving) with the military is hard, from having to find new child care or a new job and friends. It’s emotionally hard on military families.

But sometimes the logistics of moving is just as hard. I want to have a Conversation to understand what about the PCS is most troublesome for YOU! Is it delays to orders? Not getting a move date quickly enough? Broken items that can’t get reimbursed? Please come prepared to share your experiences with all of the above. If you can’t join us for the event please register and email me your stories!

All about Megan

Megan Harless is an Army Veteran, military spouse, mom to three amazing children, and is passionate about educating others on the regulations and policies of PCS (permanent change of station) all while working on reform efforts to streamline and simplify the process for military families. She graduated from the University of Charleston, WV where she met her husband and was commissioned as a Transportation Officer. She went on to serve four years as a dual active-duty family with one deployment to Iraq.

When she hung up her uniform for the last time, she gracefully slipped into the role of military spouse where she has supported her husband. As a family they have PCS’d 11 times in the past 18 years which has led her to her passion of improving the process. Since the fall of 2018, Megan has worked with members of Congress, US Transportation Command, and members of the moving industry to identify key pain points of the process and to draft solutions to be implemented for families. During this time as she has become the leading Military Spouse PCS expert as noted in her receiving the 2020 Military.com Spouse Changemaker of the Year award, Megan has worked hard to educate families on the changing policies and regulations while helping them to navigate the process in order to help them have a smooth move. When she is not supporting her military community, Megan enjoys hiking with her family, watching sporting events, traveling, and searching for the world’s best chocolate!
