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 authorized entry
Confirm the actual campus and purpose with the sponsor. A reservation or appointment does not by itself grant installation access.
Installation resourcesPlan housing before committing
Confirm housing eligibility and applications before committing to a home. Unaccompanied assignments, military families and civilian employees have different arrangements.
Housing resourcesArrange temporary accommodation
Navy Lodge Washington DC operates on JBAB. Its operator confirms the facility and reservation contact. The JBAB directory identifies Gateway Inn as permanently closed; do not plan a stay there.
Lodging resourcesPrepare school records
Use the intended home address and receiving district to confirm enrollment. Ask the school liaison about records and military-student transition support.
School resourcesArrange child care
Use current child-care resources to confirm eligibility, registration and actual placement. A submitted request does not reserve a space.
Child-care resourcesConfirm the care destination
Confirm the enrolled provider and appointment location. National Capital Region military care spans several campuses; an assignment to JBAB does not identify every care destination.
Medical resourcesConnect with household support
Ask the named family-readiness office about relocation and household referrals appropriate to the member’s component and duty status.
