If you are like me, you chose to do it all yourself. If you play your cards right you can make money doing a full DITY move. However, it’s not for everyone and there are a few downsides. Remember, you will have to pack everything yourself, procure a moving truck or trailer of some kind if you have a good amount of stuff, load everything yourself, procure empty and loaded weight tickets, unload everything yourself, and fill out the necessary paperwork at your gaining based so you can get reimbursed. Doing all this can induce quite a bit of stress and may not be worth it if you only make a few hundred bucks. You should definitely factor in your time and efforts when deciding between a full military move and full DITY move. If you find that doing everything yourself will be fun and worthy, start by using a DITY move calculator.
