Check-in Procedures

Members need to contact their sponsor for command direction about check-in procedures. Member's orders must be endorsed when they initially report. Members need to contact their command pass coordinator to complete their check-in paperwork as soon as they report. After 4 p.m. and on weekends and holidays, contact the command duty officer at 401-862-8378 for assistance in reporting onboard.

This is an upscale tourist area. Make lodging reservations well in advance of your trip. Check with your sponsor. It is very important to check your orders and ensure all family members are included in the move.

If you get married before your permanent change of station move, you must inform your command, and update your dependency application (page 2) and DEERS at your local permanent support detachment. If you get married en route to your ultimate duty station; a member who acquires a dependent on or before the PCS authorization/order effective date, is authorized dependent travel and transportation allowances from the place at which the dependent is acquired to the new permanent duty station, not to exceed the travel and transportation allowances for travel from the old PDS to the new PDS. Appropriate command sponsorship is necessary for transportation to an OCONUS PDS. The PCS authorization/order effective date of your orders is the date of report to your ultimate duty station minus travel days plus one day.
