RVing and PCSing Go Hand In Hand
The Gustafson family is RVing from Alaska to Florida during this PCS move. I caught up with them this morning as they were preparing to head out. 
They spent the night here at the Gila Bend famcamp in Arizona. 
When they left it was snowing in Elmendorf as they hauled their toyhauler to Haines, Alaska to catch the ferry to Bellingham, Washington. They didn't take off their snow tires until they were well into California. 
The Gustafson family uses many of the military campgrounds available exclusively to active duty, retired military personnel and DOD employees. The kids love the adventure partly because of the travel but mostly because they have Dad all to themselves for a while. Dad is a busy guy flying F-15 jets and now he's going to be the Vice Wing Commander at the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force Base. I told the boys they have alligators in Flordia and they thought that was cool and were looking forward to living on the beach. Laughing, one of the boys said, "We're going from cold to warm!" So next time you have a PCS move consider doing it in an RV. I have a special place in my heart for military kids - we raised five of them. Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

My wife and I RV'd on every PCS we did. I first we weren't fancy, a 4x4 Toy with a shell and a U-Haul, a Serro Scotty, and then a Prowler. But getting to RV from California to Pennsylvania, Maine, back to California, visiting family and places we wanted to see and getting paid for it, what a deal.
