Get oriented

At a glance.

Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads supports a dispersed command community. Its Norfolk headquarters and its annexes are different workplaces, with reporting determined by the assigned organization. [2]

The Norfolk headquarters uses the Blandy Road address. Northwest Annex is in Chesapeake; Portsmouth Annex and the separately named NSA Portsmouth should not be treated as interchangeable. [1]

Base essentials.

At your fingertips

Each detail has its own dated source. Confirm current procedures and availability with the responsible organization.

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.

Confirm the reporting destination

Confirm the gaining command and actual property with the sponsor. The support activity’s headquarters contact is not a universal reception point for every tenant or annex.

Reporting instructions

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 resources

Set up housing support

Use the Navy regional Housing Service Center for referral and application support. Establish the actual duty destination before evaluating community housing.

Housing resources

Book the correct temporary accommodation

Confirm the current regional lodging property and authorized booking. A Hampton Roads listing may be far from the actual command.

Temporary lodging

Plan 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 liaison

Arrange 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 resources

Confirm enrollment and clinic location

Use the assigned clinic and enrolled provider’s current directions. Confirm any Portsmouth hospital or branch-clinic appointment separately.

Medical resources

Connect with family support

Use the listed readiness office for relocation and household referrals. Confirm which programs serve your service, duty status and family circumstances.
