If you or a member of your household is in the military, you might need to relocate frequently. Though packing and moving often can be stressful and time-consuming, putting some possessions in storage can make the process easier. Below, you’ll learn more about how storage units are helpful for military personnel and their families. 

Why Should Military Families Store Their Belongings?

1. Simplify Moving

As you transition from one base to another, you’ll likely need a place to keep some or all of your belongings. Storage units provide you with a safe and climate-controlled place to house your furniture, appliances, decor, breakables, and valuables until you’re ready to unpack and settle into your new home. 

2. Save Space

Military housing doesn’t always have the most generous square footage. Prevent your new home from becoming cluttered, cramped, and uncomfortable by putting items that don’t fit in your home into storage. 

3. Store Vehicles 

During deployment, you might not want to leave your vehicle parked in a driveway or on the street. If you don’t have shelter for your car or truck, put it into storage to protect it from the elements. This will also minimize the possibility of vandalism, damage, and theft. 

4. Find an Affordable Apartment

Rather than pay more per month to rent a house or apartment with an extra bedroom, get a storage shed instead. Keeping your overflow items there rather than a spare bedroom will prevent the need for more space and keep your rent low.
