I was Air Force and retired in '04. I was only able to PCS twice back in the 80's. Both times I made out. On one of them I was able to used a little known program that gave up to 6 weeks of uncharged leave to do the PCS and find/move into new quarters off base. Things have changed.

Also check with your state on the benefits to Veterans. In GA if you have a 2 & 1/2 ton or 5 ton truck with pintle hook on your military drivers license you can test out and be exempt for on road CDL license. The "on road" part of the CDL is the difficult part of getting the license.

On another note, your security clearance will stay active for 2 year past your ETS. Depending on your job in the military you can make some stupid good money as a contractor. Once the clearance goes inactive it can be difficult to get it reactivated.
