PCSing can often be overwhelming and intimidating especially moving to unknown States or even countries! One of the best ways to deal with the stress of a move is to get out and explore your new surroundings and find some new roads. One of the perks about PCSing is the adventures that come with it, here are some tips on how to find new roads during your next PCS! During Military Appreciation Month Chevy wants to help military families find new roads too with #ChevySalutes!
Get out and explore your local community on foot! Walk your town or village, see how many routes you can find to and from your new home. Talk with the neighbors to find out about their favorite paths or trails that are close by. That way you can figure out the best routes for walking, running, biking, playing the the dog, and more! One of the best things about German villages are that there are endless walking trails and paths and following them will lead you to new villages and locations. Venture out there, you never know what you may find!
Take some day trips surrounding your new area. Use the internet to find some interesting sites near your new home. Talk with people at the new job and community and find out where they like to visit for day trips. Make a list of the top 10 places you would like to visit and each weekend take the time to get out and see one. It’ll give you a much needed break from the unpacking and organizing and you’ll get some fun family time while searching for the new roads ahead.
Get lost on purpose! Yes, you read that right! Have a GPS (or smart phone) that can mark your home or get you back to your home, and just start driving. Turn when you see an interesting road or sight, stop and wander as your heart desires. Keep an eye out for hiking trails, lakes, rivers, attractions and such that you may want to come back and explore again. Pack a picnic lunch so that you can eat somewhere along the way. See how many new roads you can find and take notes so you can share them with others. Use the handy GPS or phone to find your way home.
We all know that finding new roads at a new location may also require a new vehicle, well Chevy offers the best military car discount during Military Appreciation Month! They believe that those who serve deserve a great discount and are happy to honor them with one! Chevrolet is proud to extend their military discount to Active Duty members, Reserves, Veterans within one year of discharge date and Retirees — including their spouses — of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard. This great value gives you a special discounted price below the MSRP. Plus, you can combine this discount with most current offers to save even more. USAA members also receive an additional $750 private offer. Now, that is my kind of deal! Check out the Chevy Military Discount!
Also GM also has nearly 5,000 veterans and 45,000 retirees employed with their company. With help from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Chamber Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program, GM is providing dealerships with free access to over 400 Hiring Our Heroes job fairs that connect them to veteran applicants with a diverse array of skills. Just another great way that GM gives back to military families!

So embrace your PCS and next duty station and get out there and find those new roads! Explore your new neighborhood for adventures close to home. Take day trips making notes of areas to come back and explore again. Get lost on purpose to make new roads for your family.
