For instance, military servicemen and women move at least twice as often as civilians. Moving every two to three years and facing long-term deployment overseas can mean you need to find dependable storage options frequently and quickly. Active duty storage options provide military members with military storage options suited to the unique conditions they need when faced with moving to a new base or being deployed overseas. This guide will help you learn more about the active-duty storage options available. It will also help you prepare for your next move.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reasons-you-need-storage-while-in-the-military\">Reasons You Need Storage While in the Military<\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons military self-storage might be a requirement when you receive a permanent change of station (PCS). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/moving-and-packing-tips-the-ultimate-guide-to-relocating-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moving from one home to another <\/a>is a stressful experience. Military moves often include other complications like a transitional space between homes. Alternatively, you may face a trip overseas with limited space for possessions. These are some of the most common reasons to seek storage while in the military.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Moving to a different U.S. military base: <\/strong>When moving between bases, there could be a delay between leaving one home and the availability of the next. Self-storage is a good way to keep possessions you won&rsquo;t use every day safe while living in a temporary residence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overseas deployment: <\/strong>Vehicles and large quantities of possessions generally can&rsquo;t travel with you overseas. Long-term storage during deployment is a common need among military service members.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vehicle storage: <\/strong>It&rsquo;s possible to have your vehicle shipped overseas, but driving requirements are often different in other countries. Private self-storage is the most common vehicle storage option for military personnel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Convenience for moving with a strict time limit:<\/strong> PCS orders can require you to report to duty at a new military base with a timeframe as short as a few weeks to a few months. Placing items in temporary storage can help you avoid the clutter and hassle associated with the first days and weeks in a new home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<html><body><div id=\"in_post\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/search\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'first in post', version: '2.0'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n  <div class=\"first-in-post-cta\">\r\n    <header>\r\n      <h2 id=\"how-neighbor-is-changing-storage\">How Neighbor is changing storage<\/h2>\r\n    <\/header>\r\n    <section>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <div class=\"service-option-icon\">\r\n          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.125 9.375C11.0539 9.375 9.375 11.0539 9.375 13.125V46.875C9.375 48.9461 11.0539 50.625 13.125 50.625H46.875C48.9461 50.625 50.625 48.9461 50.625 46.875V13.125C50.625 11.0539 48.9461 9.375 46.875 9.375H13.125ZM28.125 16.875C28.125 15.8395 28.9645 15 30 15C31.0355 15 31.875 15.8395 31.875 16.875V20.625H35.625C36.6605 20.625 37.5 21.4645 37.5 22.5C37.5 23.5355 36.6605 24.375 35.625 24.375H26.25C25.2145 24.375 24.375 25.2145 24.375 26.25C24.375 27.2855 25.2145 28.125 26.25 28.125H33.75C36.8566 28.125 39.375 30.6434 39.375 33.75C39.375 36.8566 36.8566 39.375 33.75 39.375H31.875V43.125C31.875 44.1605 31.0355 45 30 45C28.9645 45 28.125 44.1605 28.125 43.125V39.375H22.5C21.4645 39.375 20.625 38.5355 20.625 37.5C20.625 36.4645 21.4645 35.625 22.5 35.625H33.75C34.7855 35.625 35.625 34.7855 35.625 33.75C35.625 32.7145 34.7855 31.875 33.75 31.875H26.25C23.1434 31.875 20.625 29.3566 20.625 26.25C20.625 23.1434 23.1434 20.625 26.25 20.625H28.125V16.875Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <h3 id=\"transparent-monthly-savings\">Transparent monthly savings<\/h3>\r\n        <p>Renters save 30-50% on self storage, on average.

But it represents potential challenges that don&rsquo;t arise in most rental situations. While short-term storage for a move within the U.S. may not be difficult to find, long-term storage is typically needed. This means you need a dependable option to keep your possessions safe for long periods of time.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"storage-features-to-consider\">Storage features to consider<\/h3>\n<p>Military families are like civilian families in that they&rsquo;re always growing and changing. Additionally, military storage needs for deployment overseas can be drastically different from your needs for moving within the U.S. When assessing your needs for a new storage option, don&rsquo;t assume the accommodations you had last time will properly serve you now. Instead, consider these storage features each time you place items in storage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> If your family is growing, or you&rsquo;ll need to depend on storage for a longer period of time, you may need a bigger storage unit than you thought.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> If you&rsquo;re facing deployment overseas, you&rsquo;ll need to choose the most convenient location to store your belongings. This is usually close to the base you&rsquo;ll be stationed at upon your return if you have that information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Climate control:<\/strong> If you&rsquo;re storing electronics, paper documents, books, or musical instruments, climate control is a must. In the event of long-term storage, climate control is generally recommended, as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> If you&rsquo;ll need to access your belongings often, you&rsquo;ll want to choose a location nearby. It&rsquo;s also important to understand the gate schedule for convenient access when you need it. Conversely, if you don&rsquo;t need frequent access, you may be able to save money by seeking storage options further away from your base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"safely-store-firearms\">Safely store firearms<\/h3>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning to place your firearm in storage, you&rsquo;ll need to plan ahead. Not all storage facilities allow firearm storage. Additionally, your ammunition will definitely need to be stored elsewhere. When shopping for storage options, always ask if guns are on the prohibited items list. If you have difficulty finding firearm storage, it&rsquo;s a good idea to ask about storage options on base.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Pro Tip for Finding Military Storage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-to-move-a-gun-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to move a gun safe <\/a>as you move to your new home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 id=\"lower-storage-costs-with-military-discounts\">Lower storage costs with military discounts<\/h3>\n<p>Many storage services understand the need for active duty storage and offer military storage discounts to service members.

Excess belongings make frequent moves more difficult. Get rid of clothing, tools, and toys that haven&rsquo;t been used in the past year. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to get rid of broken items and items that have never been opened. Keep items with sentimental value, important military documents, and items with a clear purpose.<\/li>\n<li>Create a binder to keep all documents related to your move together.<\/li>\n<li>Decide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/need-climate-controlled-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whether you&rsquo;ll need climate-controlled storage<\/a> or specialized storage for items like firearms.<\/li>\n<li>Set a budget for the move. Then decide whether you&rsquo;ll keep up with the costs of your move for military reimbursement or take care of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/5-essential-moving-tips-packing-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">packing and moving<\/a> yourself. Taking care of the move yourself will allow you to keep 95% of what the military estimates it will cost to move you, but it&rsquo;s a lot more hassle.<\/li>\n<li>Prep the car for a long trip in the weeks before moving day arrives.<\/li>\n<li>If you&rsquo;re not planning a DIY move, label everything you want to move yourself. Movers are trained to move everything. So these labels can eliminate the hassles of searching for necessities when you reach your destination.<\/li>\n<li>Consider an auto-pay option for your storage facility. During active duty or deployment, it can be easy to miss payments or extend storage past a planned storage term.<\/li>\n<li>Plan which items to travel with while you move. This should include nighttime supplies, crucial documents, fragile or expensive objects, a couple of changes of clothes for each member of the family, and prescription medications.<\/li>\n<li>Label all containers and items intended for storage before the movers arrive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"military-storage-options-with-neighbor\">Military Storage Options With Neighbor<\/h2>\n<p>There are a variety of military storage options to choose from when deciding where to store your belongings during active duty.
