One of the worst part about overseas PCS’s is that the family has to be medically approved to move with the service member. That’s to make sure that medical care is available for the families.
All the family members have a medical screening and the results are sent to the gaining station. The medical personnel there determine if they can be taken care of at that duty station. (This is especially important when dealing with chronic illnesses, cancer, and major disabilities.) Only then will the family be added to the service members orders.
After ZD got his orders, he was given form to start our medical screening and we’ve finally been approved to travel with him.
Whew! What a load off my mind.
Now the real planning begins.
