HOW TO MAKE A PCS BINDER FOR GERMANY // Military Wife Moving to Germany

The biggest key to having a smooth PCS to Germany (or any location overseas) is to be ORGANIZED.

Many thanks to all the resources that fill my binder and the other YouTubers who inspired me with their PCS binders. Keep reading and watching for more tips!
