The PCS Recovery Kit: Getting there was the easy part.

A PCS doesn't end when the truck pulls away. It ends when your kid knows the way to school, the claim is settled, the pay is right, and you've stopped living out of a suitcase in your own house. That's usually 90 days of small, unglamorous work, and a surprising amount of it has a deadline attached. The PCS Recovery Kit is a 27-page post-move workbook for the phase nobody preps you for: the boxes are in the driveway, the orders are technically complete, and your household still doesn't work.

It opens with two sections to use right away:

• The first 72 hours: a day-by-day plan to protect your claim and get one room working. It includes an "at the truck" checklist for delivery day and a warning about the most expensive 20 minutes of your move.

•  

• The master tracker: every task in the kit in one view, so you can check off progress and jump to the chapter you need.

Then 10 topic chapters take you from delivery day to feeling at home:

• Delivery day and inventory, with a missing-item log

• Unpacking priorities, in the order that makes a house work fastest

• Damaged and missing items, covering the two separate claim deadlines and including a claim call log

• Setting up the home: utilities, a safety walkthrough and a move-in shopping list

• Records changeover: DEERS, TRICARE, prescriptions, licenses and every place your address has to change

• Financial recovery: travel voucher, advance pay, BAH and DLA checks, and a "money still owed to us" tracker

• Schools and childcare: Interstate Compact protections, IEPs and 504 plans, School Liaisons and waitlists

• Spouse work and licensure: license transfers and relicensing reimbursement

• Installation and community: getting oriented, finding your people and a family new-home bucket list

• Home rhythm: a cleaning schedule and a seasonal home maintenance calendar

It closes with a "Deadlines that bite" table showing when each clock starts and who to confirm with, a key contacts directory, and a 90-day debrief with notes for your next move. Every citation names the specific paragraph, so you can look it up yourself.
