Preparing Your Kids for a Military Move

Preparing Your Kids for a Military Move

The Department of Defense has recently put out a new website for military children in an attempt to assist them during the many military moves they will endure throughout their lives. If you think it is difficult for an adult to wrap their mind around moving try explaining that it is time for another military move to a child. The Military Youth on the Move program is designed for children 6-17. On the website challenging situations kids will face before, during and after a move are some topics covered. Military children share their experiences of a military move, being the "new kid" and they offer advice on how to make the transition of a military move easier. Hearing this from other children makes it easier to comprehend.

Military Youth on the Move Website Features:

Age specific podcasts on:

How to say goodbye

How to make new friends

Staying in touch with old friends

Homework

Saving money

How to choose the right college

Deployment

Divorce

Bullying

A military move is not just stressful and difficult on adults it is for children as well. The website also offers tips and advice for parents on how to make the transition easier for their children and on your family. You can also find information on a military move with an exceptional family member, pet, OCONUS and even a packing guide! San Antonio Military Relocation Professional

Camp Bullis

Named for Brigadier General John Lapham Bullis, Camp Bullis is located on 1,500 acres in northwest San Antonio, just west of IH 10 and Loop 1604. Camp Bullis was originally established as a training facility for troops before WWI.

Camp Bullis is currently utilized for firing ranges, maneuver areas for Army, Air Force, and Marine combat units, and for field training of the various medical units from Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Fort Sam Houston.

The City of San Antonio, working closely with the military, Bexar County, Comal County, Kendall County, and other agencies and local jurisdictions, is undertaking the preparation of a Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) for Camp Bullis. The goal of the Camp Bullis JLUS is to protect the viability of current and future missions at Camp Bullis while at the same time accommodating growth, sustaining the economic health of the region, and protecting public health and safety.

Camp Stanley, (originally Camp Funston) was named for Brig. Gen. David Sloane Stanley in 1917. Camp Stanley, a separate activity of Red River Army Depot, is a weapons and munitions supply, maintenance, test and storage activity. It is located adjacent to Camp Bullis.

Camp Stanley supports numerous locations throughout CONUS and selected overseas areas. The post covers 4,000 acres of land with 630,000 square feet of specialized storage facilities. In 1985, Camp Stanley was made a subpost of nearby Camp Bullis.
