Please contact the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 321-494-5675 if you still do not have a sponsor AFTER you arrive at Patrick AFB for assistance.

- Helpful Hints for Before You Move
- Get Relocation Counseling-Attend Smooth Move at the Airman and Family Readiness Center, or schedule an appointment with the Airman and Family Readiness Center staff members.
- Sponsorship-Regardless of rank, everyone should have a sponsor. This is a two way street, maintain the lines of communication and advise your sponsor of any changes in your itinerary or reporting date. Be proactive!
- Finances- Be careful when taking advance pay because this will be paid back via allotment. Also, ensure that you know what your other allowances and entitlements are. Call your local Finance Office to get information before you PCS.
- Household Goods-Make sure you know what this means.
- Unaccompanied baggage (Hold Baggage)- Ask your local TMO what this means.
- Self Moves (Personally Procured Moves, the old DITY or Do It Yourself Move)- Ask TMO about a partial PPM.
- Sort your Household Goods- Most people accumulate a lot of things that can be disposed of via the base Thrift Shop, Airman's Attic or yard sales.
- Inventory Household Goods- It is a good idea to make a photographic record of your household goods.
- 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.
