Well, I for one am just happy to see you finally join the ranks with the rest of us highly educated intellectuals.Indeed, my incredible boondoggle is coming to an end. Time to get back to work.

Damn Marines!Since I may be returning, however briefly, to the scene of that crime, nothing would be more apropos. However, the perpetrators of the original act made use of bolt-cutters, no doubt checked out from the squadron tool room, so I don't know if that would help.
In the end, your warm wishes (or seething contempt, as the case may be) will be quite sufficient.

Yeah, we opted for the full-replacement value insurance this time around. Good thing too - damage to a made-to-order custom-leather love seat made in Italy and scratch/dents to a couple pieces of brand new living room end tables. It's gonna cost 'em.On our last move, at my wife's insistence, we sprang the $300 for full replacement insurance. We didn't have a single claim for the whole move. Maybe it was murphy's law, maybe we we would have been lucky anyway, or maybe the mover's were more careful because of the insurance. I don't know. It seems like a good investment (well, maybe not with 4 PCS moves in 3 years).
Bubba, I've done it several times so far and each was a partial-DITY. If you don't have a lot of stuff, i.e., it'll all fit in the back of a tow U-Haul, I'd say go that way. I have a lot of crap so I always do a partial, usually take my guns, important papers, stuff like that. I'll let the movers haul the big stuff (furniture, tv, piano) so I don't have to worry about it. My wife and I have gotten used to using paper plates and plastic silverware till the rest of our stuff shows up. Plus, the Navy pays me more to move some of my crap than if I just had it all moved.
One thing not mentioned is the MWR loan locker. They have a lot of everyday stuff (pots, pans, small appliances) you can use till your crap shows up.
