Check-in Procedures

All check-ins will report to their respective commands during duty hours. Prior arrival arrangements should be made through the command sponsor coordinator. After-hours check-in will be done through Naval Construction Battalion Center quarterdeck, 228-871-2555 or DSN 312-868-2555.

Reservations for Temporary Lodging can be made up to 5 days in advance. On base resources are listed in the Housing-Temporary category of this booklet. Pets are not allowed in any of the on base sleeping facilities.  There are many local vets that house pets. A list of telephone numbers can be obtained from FFSC, your sponsor or the internet.

Hotels and motels located within 5 miles of the base have varied policies about pets. You will need to check their policy prior to arrival if you plan to have your pet stay with you.

If you marry before your PCS, you must inform your command and follow the procedures exactly as given. Your orders will list you as single and failure to follow proper procedure will result in the military not paying for travel or housing of your spouse.

The same policy is true for moving personal effects (household goods) to your new duty assignment.  You must have your HHG move including a Personal Precured Move (aka DITY Move) approved in DPS from the Personal Property Office. The Gulfport office can be contacted at 228-365-4883or 228-822-5532.
