Contact information for key programs and services at this installation.
When you arrive at your new installation, you’ll need to follow installation-specific procedures. Each installation and service handles in-processing differently. Here, you can find installation-specific guidelines and a list of documents to bring with you when checking- in. Reach out to the contacts provided if you have specific questions.
To get fully settled into the community, there are several in-processing steps you must take. First, know that the base support staff believes in sponsorship, so upon orders notification, be sure to tell us you're coming and we'll ensure a sponsor is assigned to you. A sponsor can answer any questions you may have prior to your arrival, and help you navigate the normal challenges of getting around and in-processing when you get here. Sponsors have local and standardized training and are aware of all the available services and necessary in-processing procedures.
