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.

Find the right reporting point

Military personnel should contact their assigned personnel office; employees follow their pre-employment instructions. Confirm the current office and building with the gaining organization.

Reporting resources

Plan housing before committing

Ask housing or the gaining office which referrals fit the assignment. Civilian employment and contractor access do not guarantee a military home.

Housing resources

Arrange temporary accommodation

Confirm authorized community accommodation and referrals through the actual employer or command rather than assuming on-installation transient lodging.

Temporary-housing resources

Prepare the school transfer

Use the intended home address and school liaison to confirm the receiving district, eligibility and enrollment records.

School resources

Arrange child care

Confirm child-care eligibility, registration and actual placement through current resources. A request does not reserve a space.

Child-care resources

Confirm the care destination

Confirm the enrolled provider and duty-status eligibility. Workplace or occupational services do not establish family primary-care access.

Medical resources

Connect with household support

Ask readiness resources about relocation, deployment and household referrals appropriate to the member’s component and duty status.

Family-readiness resources
