Dam Neck Annex is Oceana’s separate Atlantic-coast training campus in Virginia Beach. Students and assigned staff should identify the specific school or tenant command before travel. [2]
A Dam Neck assignment does not mean reporting to Oceana’s aviation workplace. The annex has its own course, clinic and accommodation destinations. [1]

Prepare for the training site
Training & visits.
Coordinate reporting, site access and allocated facilities with your unit and the responsible site office before travel. Family support arrangements depend on your duty status.
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 Oceana Housing Service Center for community and family-housing questions. Ask the school or unit about student and unaccompanied accommodation.
Housing resourcesBook the correct temporary accommodation
Confirm whether the course allocates berthing or requires a separate approved booking. A regional hotel listing does not establish student authorization.
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
Use the Dam Neck branch-clinic resources and confirm eligibility and appointments. Oceana’s branch clinic is a different destination.
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.
