If you’re anything like me, you speak “meme.” Memes have been adopted as a universal language in which we communicate our thoughts and feelings while reflecting our sense of humor. Memes lighten the mood around heavier topics, and add to the fun of lighter ones.

1. It all starts with waiting for that hard copy of your service member’s orders:

5. When you realize you can’t change things and you do your best to plan your trip:
6. Only a (few) things go wrong, then you hit the road:
7. When you realize you’ve been driving a while and haven’t seen any “Welcome to (State)!” signs (really, though, have you driven across Texas?)
8. PCS and tax season: coincidence? I think NOT!
9. This (Especially if you do a HHG move).
10. By the way, more on that HHG move:
11. When you get to your next base and you find out you’re gonna be in TLF for a while:
