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 joint-base housing resources to distinguish community referrals, family housing and unaccompanied assignments. Ask which property serves the actual duty location.
Housing resourcesBook the correct temporary accommodation
Confirm the property address and authorized reservation. Navy Lodge, visitors’ quarters and recreational lodging have different booking and eligibility arrangements.
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
Identify the actual branch clinic and enrolled provider. The medical center in Portsmouth is a separate destination from either joint-base campus.
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.
