Life around your next station
Moving & living.
Start with your sponsor and the installation’s official newcomer resources. Confirm the arrangements that apply to your household before you travel.
Arrange access with the sponsor
Check the actual gate and visitor process before arrival. An airport terminal, lodging reservation or map pin does not grant military access.
Official installation resourcesSet up housing support
Use the military housing office for National Capital Region options and lease assistance. Confirm family eligibility and unaccompanied assignments separately.
Housing resourcesBook the correct temporary accommodation
Wainwright Hall is on the Fort Myer campus. Confirm current operation, reservation and eligibility; Henderson Hall’s lack of temporary quarters is a separate issue.
Temporary lodgingPlan the school transfer
Use the school liaison to identify enrollment, records and district questions for the intended home address. A duty-station assignment does not select the school.
School liaisonArrange child care early
Contact the child-care resource office early. Ask about eligibility, the request process and care covering your actual duty schedule; a request is not a confirmed placement.
Child-care resourcesConfirm enrollment and clinic location
Confirm whether the assigned readiness clinic, Pentagon clinic or another enrolled provider is appropriate. Nearby military facilities do not imply automatic family enrollment.
Medical resourcesConnect with family support
Use the listed readiness office for relocation and household referrals. Confirm which programs serve your service, duty status and family circumstances.
