The last time the military moved us, decades ago, the packers came in and packed everything in sight. I unwrapped coke bottle lids that were loose in a silverware drawer. LOL. Every item was wrapped in paper. Each spoon, each dish, everything. It took me forever to unpack, they packed and moved but didn't unpack and didn't mark the boxes. I cried for days sitting in the middle of piles of boxes. I didn't get along all that great being a military wife.
