Our military families live all over the world and often it is necessary for these families to be relocated to a new base within a certain time frame so that the military person is able to properly perform their duties where they are most needed. When this occurs, the family usually tries to find a home located in the area near the new base so that they can all be together.

Everything in the home must be packed up and prepared for the move whether it is to a new location that is across the state or across the country. Often this type of move leads to either some or all of the household possessions being placed into a self storage unit. This may be due to several different circumstances. Usually it is due to the fact that the new house is not completely ready for them to move into or that a suitable home has not been found within the time that is allotted for the military person to do this. When the deadline for moving has been reached, the military family might also need to leave some possessions, such as additional vehicles or excess furniture, in a self storage unit near their original home until there is an allowable time for them to return and move these things to their new home.
