Navy-Specific Information
Contact your respective command first to find out where you must go to get your orders stamped, so you can start the clock for your Temporary Lodging Allowance and Cost of Living Allowance entitlement. You must check into your command and housing to be eligible for TLA.
For those on shore duty, please report directly to your command. If arriving after 4 p.m. and you do not know how to contact the duty section, report to Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hicham, Naval Base Pearl Harbor Quarterdeck Building 150 or call 808-473-1222.

If you are taking a house-hunting trip, please ensure you request the proper leave request prior to taking permissive leave.
During a permanent change of station move, individuals should maintain important paperwork with them at all times to decrease the potential for loss or identity theft. Important documents include service member's service record, military identification cards, powers of attorney, PCS orders, travel documentation, travel receipts, marriage certificates, immunization records of children or pets, household goods inventory lists, credit card statements, tax records, Social Security cards, bank information, mortgages, vehicle information (motor vehicle registration/certificate of title), driver’s licenses, bills, address book with information for the command sponsor, credit cards, a copy of the RED/DA (Formerly Page 2) (Record of Emergency Data and Dependency Application, or Proof of Dependents) and any copies of family member medical records.
The original family medical records are typically shipped from the current military treatment facility to the new servicing MTF. Family members traveling separately from the service member should maintain a copy of the service member's RED/DA (Formerly Page 2) (the RED/DA or the Second Page of the Service Record which lists Family Member Data) and may also need a Power of Attorney (PA).
When receipts and travel documents are submitted to the command or any military agency, the member or family member should maintain a copy for their own records. Keep your sponsor, quarterdeck and command ombudsman phone numbers with you at all times. It is imperative that you check in with your Command Pay and Personnel Administrator (CPPA) at your command as soon as possible and the Housing Service Center within 72 hours of arrival so that you can start your TLA, submit your travel claim for payment, start the process for other pay and entitlements and update your RED/DA (Formerly Page 2).
Records Check-in
Newly-gained personnel will process their receipts with their CPPA immediately upon reporting on board. Navy Military Personnel Manual 1000-025 mandates reporting the member to the Bureau of Navy Personnel within four days of the member's arrival. To accomplish this, the CPPA must present the servicing personnel support detachment a gain package for processing which consists of the following:
Unnecessary delays will only adversely affect your pay as well as the settlement of your TLA. Scheduled or house-hunting leave is highly discouraged until your gain package is completed.
For further information, forms, procedures and policies, contact your CPPA.
Housing Check-In
The Housing Service Center (HSC) requires an appointment for the check-in process to be within 72 hours of arrival, excluding holidays and weekends. You can make an appointment up to 30 days in advance before you arrive by calling 808-474-1820/1821. Be sure to check in with the HSC to receive a TLA Non-Availability Certificate for Government Quarters which is to be taken to your Command/PSD for processing. You must report to Navy HSC even if you have already purchased a home or plan to buy one, found a place to rent and or plan to live with family or friends. The Navy HSC is located at 4825 Bougainville Drive in Building 2652, across from Moanalua Military and Family Support Center building. Two pets are authorized in military housing. Rottweilers and Pit Bulls are not authorized in military housing.
Upon checking in with the Navy HSC, members will be assigned a personal counselor who will be their individual point of contact until housing has been assigned. Contact your CPPA with any other questions/concerns. For additional information concerning in-processing procedures, you may contact the Commander, Navy Region Hawaii website.
Air Force-Specific Information
Verify with your sponsor where to report and in-process. As a general rule, please report to your unit's Commander's Support Staff on the next duty day for in-processing and to be scheduled for mandatory in-processing appointments. In addition, you will need to be gained to the base. If you are not gained, all information in the virtual Military Personnel Flight and Military Personnel Data System will reflect your previous base. Check with your sponsor if your unit has designated specific times for in-processing.
For units without a CSS, please report to MPF Customer Support, located at 900 Hangar Avenue, Suite 127 in Hangar 2, on the next duty day at 8:30 a.m., Monday – Friday. Please ask your sponsor if your unit possesses a CSS.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday sessions are mandatory for all Air Force personnel.

All dependents of military members serving overseas tours must be command sponsored. Your dependent family members listed on your PCS orders will receive automatic command sponsorship unless otherwise indicated (for example, not medically cleared). Command sponsorship must be requested for all other dependents acquired prior to or after your arrival at the overseas station.
When to request command sponsorship:
Please contact Hickam Military Personnel Flight customer service at 808-449-8624, option 1, to obtain guidance on how to apply for command sponsorship under the above circumstances. As a general rule, dependents gained after the member's arrival at an overseas tour are not authorized travel and transportation allowances. All dependents must be medically screened and/or cleared prior to approval for command sponsorship. With-dependent station allowances are not authorized until dependents are command sponsored. Approved command sponsorship memos and medical clearance documents are filed in member's record at the Air Force Personnel Center.
Navy Specific Information
If you get married before you PCS, you must inform your command and follow the procedures exactly as you are given. The military will not pay for travel and housing of your family members if you do not follow proper procedures. A request chit to obtain a "Command Sponsor" letter will need to be submitted to your arriving command for family member pay entitlements.
The same goes for moving your personal effects (household goods) to your new duty assignment. You must have prior approval from the Military Transportation Office or you will not be reimbursed.
