Military moves don’t wait for a lease to end. Orders come in, report dates get moved, and you need a place to put everything in between. First Flight Storage in Goldsboro gives Seymour Johnson AFB airmen and their families simple, month-to-month storage with no long-term contract.
Storage for PCS Moves
Whether you’re arriving at Seymour Johnson or heading to your next base, storage can cover the gap between houses.
- Rent before you arrive. You can reserve and rent online, so your unit is ready when the moving truck pulls in.
- Month-to-month. After the first month you stay as long as you need, with no long-term commitment.
- Drive-up units in 10x10, 10x15 and 10x20 sizes. A 10x15 or 10x20 holds most household moves, and you can back the truck straight up to the door.
- Storage containers in 7x7, 7x10 and 7x13 sizes for boxes, gear and smaller loads.

Deployment and TDY Storage
When you’re gone for months, you want your account to run itself and someone you trust to be able to get in.
- Autopay. Set up automatic payments by card or checking account so rent is paid every month while you’re away. That keeps you clear of late fees and keeps your access code working.
- Authorized access contact. You can add a person who’s allowed to access your unit, such as a spouse, parent or friend, if you need something moved or picked up while you’re deployed.
- Alternate contact. You can add an alternate contact so we can reach someone if we can’t reach you.
- Military status on your rental agreement. Let us know at move-in if you or your spouse is serving. Our rental agreement asks about it.
Vehicle Storage While You’re Away
Don’t leave a car sitting in a driveway or base lot for a whole deployment. First Flight has 9x18 parking spaces for cars, trucks, boats and small trailers, plus 9x28 spaces for larger RVs and boats. The 9x28s are popular, so call ahead to check availability.
To store a vehicle, bring a current registration. Vehicles are stored under a written agreement, and you’ll want to keep the vehicle insured.
Protecting What You Store
- Gated entry with 24-hour security cameras and bright LED lighting
- Gate access from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, every day
- Drive-up access on all units
- Storage protection plan available. Coverage is required, either your own insurance or our plan, and we can explain both options when you rent.
A few things can’t go in a unit: food, anything flammable like gasoline or paint thinner, and anything living.
