In the Army, it seems that summertime is for moving to a new assignment. Most of our family moves in almost 30 years took place in June, July or August and I suspect we are a part of a large majority of military personnel with similar experiences.
Looking back, I recall lots of sweat during hot, humid conditions as we sorted though accumulated "stuff" to decide what to have packed versus what to donate to Goodwill, or take to the landfill.
Not so when we moved to the U.S. from Germany (twice) because we went over with most of our household goods in storage—but thanks to my wife's travels in Europe and her desire to buy at least one of every type of crystal glassware (preferably six each) and an assortment of clocks, ceramic pieces of art, assorted beer and wine glasses (my purchases) and much more...which in total forced us to teeter perilously close to maxing us out in terms of weight limit, without having to pay extra.
So, for all you out there going through this normal military routine, all I can say is "stay cool...all soon will pass."
