Do what I did to the puchlist from my companies' latest interior remodel painting project, BURN IT! to achieve closure and move on!
J/K, I'm sure you've looked into moving companies like Mayflower, and Atlas and probably puked at the prices they are asking, and I'm sure hauling it yourself, crosscountry isn't that appealing either. I would think someone here would have a hook-up to help you out w/ the move.

We aren't taking all that much, but to move it myself it's about $3500 plus gas, if I load it on a semi and they haul it, it's like $4800 which includes gas and is ultimately cheaper at 3400 miles of travel.

Seems fair to me. Good thing about military, they will move all your stuff for free, and you don't have to LOAD a single thing up. But **** does get stolen.
Oh, don't mean to sound arrogant, but take pictures of all your prized possessions/expensive things. Or else something comes up missing, you are fucked. Happened to my parents. About 300 CD's stolen, and a 200 Disc Player. They will get anything they can.
