Check-in Procedures

Welcome to Buckley SFB! If you arrive during duty hours, check in with your Unit Command Support Staff (CSS) to begin in-processing. Report in uniform and anticipate doing your initial base in-processing the same day or the following day, depending upon your arrival time. Members will be referred to the Finance Office (Building 1030) for travel voucher completion. If you are eligible for house hunting, you may be granted permissive temporary duty by your unit commander after you have done your initial in-processing. Make sure that you are officially on permissive TDY, to avoid being charged with regular leave. If you arrive after duty hours, report to your unit CSS the following day. If no unit CSS is available, report to the Military Personnel Section (Building 606).

Command Sponsorship

If the military member does not secure command sponsorship and the family members are not on their permanent change of station orders, the military member will have to pay out of pocket for travel expenses. This may have ramifications for medical, dental, official travel passports and much more. These costs are not reimbursable. Please secure command sponsorship before PCSing from overseas!
