Checking In
All incoming military members arriving during duty hours should report to their respective units or schools. If you arrive after hours, check in with lodging until your Commander's Support Staff is open the next duty day. (Maxwell - 450 LeMay Plaza and Gunter - 454 South Morrins Ave, Bldg 1017 South). Directions to these locations can be obtained from security police on duty at the gates.
Your sponsor will be a big help in pointing you in the right direction or taking you to the key locations until you are settled into your new community.
What to do if you get Married Enroute
If you get married before you PCS, you must inform your commander and follow the procedures exactly as you are given them. The military will not pay for travel and housing of your spouse if you do not follow proper procedures.
