I have an ongoing giveaway box. I add to it as I walk through the house and rooms. Did a serious purge in DS room. To be honest, he won't live here again, just come to visit. So I turned it into my new home office and started my new remote job on June 1. Donated his bed and minor furniture.
Put things that I think he may want in totes for him to sort at a later date. The likelihood of him needing or wanting mementos immediately upon commissioning is small. Until he gets somewhat settled (as long as the needs of the Navy deem him 'settled', lol), they can stay in a closet. They don't take up much space.
Shipping furniture cross country, or hauling it isn't economical. There is so much access to used stuff and sale prices that it makes more sense for him to go that way.
Now, his guitars are a whole other animal. He will need a shipping container for those! That and his antique car, I wouldn't trust it to cross the country under its own power, it's older than me!
