Check-in Procedures

The base quarterdeck is in Naval Station Headquarters Building 1 (on Massey Ave. across from Navy Federal Credit Union). Personnel with PCS orders to Naval Station Mayport should report here on arrival. Those reporting to a tenant command should report to that command's quarterdeck. Personnel ordered to a ship should report directly to their ship if in port. If the ship is not in, check in with the naval station's quarterdeck for assistance; phone 904-270-5401.

Personnel should be in the uniform of the day. Summer uniforms are worn from the first Monday in March and are khaki for chiefs and officers and summer whites for E-6 and below. Winter uniforms are worn from the first Monday in December and are khaki for chiefs and officers and winter blues for E-6 and below. Enlisted personnel on PCS or  temporary additional duty orders should check in at the quarterdeck before checking into the bachelor enlisted quarters. Officers may check into the bachelor officers quarters prior to checking in with their commands. Personnel are required to check in with Housing before renting a house or an apartment.

A successful move is not a matter of chance. It is the result of planning and hard work. Your new command may assign you a sponsor from whom you should hear some weeks in advance of your reporting date. A sponsor can often provide information helpful to you in arranging a smooth move. Contact your new command if you have not heard from your sponsor within a reasonable time frame. Communication with your sponsor is critical in assisting you prior to, and upon your arrival.
