Major Anthony Gantt, founder and CEO of At Ease quickly realized that PCSing a large family and attempting to stay in a hotel for 10-30 days is not ideal.  Many military families go through a personal change of station (PCS) at least once in their career.  Each experience is different, but almost every single one discusses the challenges being in a hotel room with your family for extended periods of time.  

During one PCS, Major Gantt, put his family into an air B n B that had a full kitchen and rooms for his family, only to find out that he would not be reimbursed for his stay there because it was not approved.  So, he took matters into his own hands and created PCS At Ease with approved listings to PCS, Leave, TDY, and other government travel - for service members to choose from.  Check out the link below to learn more and use PCS At Ease during your next Military Travel adventure.
