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 the correct entry
Confirm the campus, entry process and visitor arrangements with the sponsor. Lodging, a map pin or a public event does not authorize routine access.
Official installation resourcesPlan housing before committing
Contact the military housing office before committing to a lease. Confirm community referrals, family-housing eligibility and any separate unaccompanied assignment; employment or orders do not reserve a home.
Military housing supportArrange temporary accommodation

Use the school liaison and the intended home address to identify the receiving district, records and enrollment process. Confirm arrangements before choosing housing.
School transition resourcesArrange child care
Ask child and youth services about eligibility, registration and care covering the actual duty schedule. Apply early and confirm placement; a request is not a reserved space.
Child-care resourcesConfirm the care destination
