Check-in Procedures

Sponsors sometimes experience difficulty and negative results when contacting inbound personnel from Technical Schools. If this applies to you then it is recommended that you become proactive and aggressive in seeking your sponsor and assistance. If you have your sponsor's name try locating their official e-mail via the Air Force Global Address on an Air Force military network.

Be sure to keep your sponsor and the Joint Reception Team advised on your arrival status. Almost everyone will come in after hours because of the time changes from the States. If you are unable to contact your sponsor or Command then please contact the Military and Family Readiness Center explain your situation and the M&FRC staff will contact your Command. Coordinate with your sponsor or your sponsoring unit to ensure you are following the current health guidelines.

Stop by the Andersen Military and Family Readiness Center at your earliest convenience so we can provide you assistance and information to alleviate some of the stressors associated with relocating. The M&FRC is located in Building 22026, Rm 141 or more commonly known as "the building next to the commissary."

The Loan Locker and PCS child care are available to ease your relocation. While you are waiting for your household goods to arrive, you may check out items from the Loan Locker. The Loan Locker has dishes, pots and pans, and other basic household items. PCS child care covers child care expenses at the Child and Youth Programs facilities on base for up to 20 hours per child. PCS child care needs to be utilized within the first 60 days of arrival. Please bring a copy of your orders when visiting the M&FRC for these services. Some restrictions may apply. For more information please call 671-366-8136.

If you get married while en route to your next duty station, you must ensure your new spouse is added to DEERS as soon as possible.  Inform your sponsor immediately to ensure your needs are addressed. Amendments to your orders must be requested via the nearest Air Force installation. If you arrive on Guam with your new spouse and your spouse is not on your orders, plan on paying out-of-pocket expenses until your gaining command approves command sponsor. Plan ahead to ensure a smooth transition into your new duty station.
