Hawaii Military Guide Summer Fall 2023

MY RELOCATION The DOD relocates more families than any other U.S. organization–a process that’s often overwhelming for service people and dependents. For 24/7/365 service regarding your move, visit MilitaryOneSource.mil or call (800) 342-9647. WHAT ABOUT MY FURNITURE? While waiting for your personal household items to arrive, contact your Base Housing Office for details on Loan Closets and Furniture Management Offices. Both feature such basic items as dishes, flatware, small kitchen appliances, kitchenware, cookware and baby items. All you’ll need is your valid military ID card and copy of your travel orders. To buy and sell “gently used” and new household items, check out the Schofield Thrift Shop (2107 Ulrich Way; 808-6243254), Fort Shafter Thrift Shop (342 Pierce St.; 808-842-1074) and Hickam Thrift Shop (540 Kuntz Ave.; 808-449-6603). Joint Personal Property Shipping Office (JPPSO-HI) handles household goods shipments for all services. For information, call (808) 473-7750. Shipments may take up to two months to arrive. Entry point into the system is Move.mil. The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is the single manager of the Defense Personal Property Program (DP3) overseeing the DOD’s household goods and privately owned vehicle shipment programs. Among recent program improvements are upgrades to Move.mil website to make critical relocation procedural tips more user-friendly, understandable and accessible. Even with a consolidated DP3, plan ahead by visiting your TMO or registering for a DPS account at Move.mil prior to or upon receiving your permanent change of station orders. Arrival 56
