Recent changes to military moving service standards are raising serious concerns for military families. Under the new regulations, companies like U-Haul and various movers from Craigslist and Facebook are classified as official military movers. This shift has excluded reputable moving firms—80% of the industry currently serving military personnel— have been informed that their Independent Contractor business models do not align with HomeNOTsafe. USTC and HSA's decisions to replace 80% of current qualified movers with inferior providers willing to operate for minimal profit. By significantly lowering entry requirements for the HomeNOTsafe system, USTC has allowed the least competent bottom 20% of the industry to participate without oversight. As a result, military families can no longer choose their moving service providers and are exposed to companies that fail to meet quality standards. Notably, Tier One Relocations, with a low 1.7 Google rating, and KBR are now managing the GHC contract through HomeNOTsafe. Military families should be cautious of anyone claiming to be an official military mover, as this designation has lost its value due to lowered standards.

DO YOU KNOW the difference between certain patriotic holidays? For example, what is the difference between Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day? These three holidays should not be confused. Memorial Day is a federal holiday that remembers and mourns people who have died in U.S. military service. Veterans Day, also a federal holiday, honors the service of all U.S. military veterans, both living and deceased. Armed Forces Day, meanwhile, celebrates everyone currently serving in the U.S. armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Armed Forces Day is not an official federal holiday. #Wagnerrealty #armedforcesday2024 #militaryservice #armedforces
