If you will be leaving your family behind for any reason, such
as, training in lieu of travel, or children finishing school year, etc., there
are some things you need to consider: - Power of attorney - this is important if
a family member is left behind and has to do things in the name of the military
member. - Family Care Plan - keep an up-to-date family care plan,
with correct names, and numbers of those that may have to care for
your children. - Copies of Order's - leave extra copies of your order's with
family member. - Finances - make sure allotments, checkbooks, savings accounts,
credit cards, etc, are accessible for family members. - Vehicles - Up-to-date
maintenance schedule. - School information - Ensure that all school records are
in order for transfer. Contact your Relocation Assistance Program to prepare an
Individual Relocation Plan. Contact your local airline ticket office for
unaccompanied travel arrangements for family members.
