PCSgrades - Letter to my Packers
As you all know, Armed Forces Insurance has understood the unique challenges of a PCS before it was ever called a PCS. So, when a great new service comes along by and for our fellow military and veteran families to help solve the toughest re-location problems, we are more than qualified to recognize it. That’s why we’re excited to announce our proud partnership with PCSgrades.com. In this newsletter edition, we’re including a “Letter to my Packers” written by the team at PCSgrades. We’re pretty sure the topics will be familiar to everyone.
