The Travis Newcomers’ Orientation occurs twice a month on Thursday's at the Delta Breeze Community Center (except holidays and unless otherwise specified). Doors open at 8:00 a.m. and participants must sign-in and seated by 8:15 a.m. to prepare for the 60 Air Mobility Command Wing leadership opening remarks and a welcome briefing. The orientation begins at 8:30 a.m. and will conclude around 10:30 a.m.
The Newcomers’ Orientation is MANDATORY for all active-duty personnel, regardless of unit or prior assignment to Travis Air Force Base. Service members must wear uniform of the day. Civilians and spouses are encouraged to attend. This is a great way for spouses to get acclimated with their new surroundings. Five briefings will be given on Air Force Policy with an Information Fair offering community services and resources. All Newcomers’ Orientation participants must register through the Travis Military & Family Readiness Center website to secure their seats.
Relocation assessment and referral is offered to help families prepare and adjust before, during and after the relocation process. Call the Travis Air Force Base Military and Family Readiness Center at 707-424-2486 for more information.

The Child Care for PCS Program is intended to help relieve some of the stress felt by Air Force families in the process of a permanent change of station move. The Air Force Aid Society will pay for 20 hours of child care per child in Air Force-certified family child care homes on base. Families with PCS orders can receive a Child Care for PCS certificate at the base from which they are departing or at their new base. Certificates, which must be used at the base at which they are issued, are good for 60 days before the family's departure from their base and/or within 60 days of arriving at the new base.
Sponsorship & Training
Sponsors are trained service members who help newcomers settle into a new duty station. They are available to all military families, no matter where you are moving. Sponsors offer a friendly face to greet you and your family at your new location, and provide personal experience and recommendations to help you feel at home. Typically of a similar rank and family status, a sponsor can assist with everything from finding the right housing options, to showing you around the installation and recommending the best places for kids to play.
If you are a service member interested in becoming a sponsor, the eSponsorship Application and Training, or eSAT, course provides the information and resources you need to become a sponsor and help other service members have a successful move.
The updated eSAT course teaches through a game format of five challenges or “missions” that each unlock a military coin. Each challenge is a realistic scenario that lets users guide service members through a permanent change of station move. You need to score 85% or higher to complete each challenge. Once you have completed all five challenges, you can download a certificate.
The updated eSAT course also offers experienced sponsors an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and earn their certificate at the very beginning of the course. With a score of 85%, users can earn their coins and opt out of the rest of the course.
The eSAT course is free and available 24/7 through MilLife Learning. Log in to an existing account or create one using a Common Access Card.
The eSAT course supplements service-specific training requirements your service may have for sponsorship, so be sure to check for those guidelines.
Find out more about the eSAT in this article, The Updated eSponsorship Application and Training.
For more information, or to request a sponsor, you can contact the Travis Military and Family Readiness Center at 707-424-2486.
