PCS Tips
PCS season is here. And with all of the excitement about your new adventure in a new country, it can be a little tricky to navigate yourself through certain customs and regulations of your new community, be it on or off base. To help you navigate that process, we have this series to ensure you know all there is to know or where to search for answers when you feel lost. We have a special PCS edition you can pick up in hardcopy at any newsstand around the bases. To access the online version, click here or catch it on the Stuttgart App.

Q: Is there anywhere on-post that lends out basic household goods to people still waiting for their shipments to arrive?
