Pre-departure CostsSome pre-departure costs could include, but not limited to, repair/replacement or cleaning of current residence, temporary lodging, child care, pet expenses, and vehicle repair/maintenance.
In-transit Costs
Leave enroute will be at your expense and charged to you as leave days; fuel and repairs for transportation is included in the mileage allowance paid to you.
Arrival and Settling-in Costs
These are inevitable out of pocket costs with moving--temporary lodging*, food, rent, security deposits, utility hook-up fees, child care, vehicle insurance and registration (possible increase), new home preparation (re-stocking food, cleaning supplies, curtains/drapes, rugs/carpet, furniture, paint, appliances, renter's insurance.)
*In particular, the month of August marks the peak of high-season tourism. A dramatic increase in tourist events occurs in August. It can be extremely difficult to locate temporary quarters within close proximity of the base, and costs can be much higher than anticipated.
Pet Expenses
If you are traveling with a pet(s), make sure you allow for the costs of kenneling/boarding along the way. There are only a few pet-friendly units available for reservation at Ellsworth. You may need an alternate arrangement for your pets if those units are not available.
