Inprocessing Procedures
Report to your Unit Commander's Section, upon arrival or the next duty day if you arrive after duty hours. Your unit will set up your inprocessing appointments. Unit information will be provided by your sponsor. After you report to your unit you may request up to 8 days of permissive TDY for house hunting.
In addition, schedule appointments to meet with the commander, first sergeant, and section commander to learn about unit policies and to become familiar with the commander's philosophy. Request your sponsor's assistance in a tour of the base and facilities you need to settle into VAFB.
First Term Airmens Center (FTAC)
The FTAC is a program designed for FIRST-TERM, FIRST-BASE airmen that will provide a streamlined process for base in-processing and an organized transition for these airmen from a controlled training (basic, technical) environment to one of self-efficiency as an Air Force member. The FTAC is located in the Professional Development Center, Building 10364 (located next to the BX). Every first-term, first-base airman will be scheduled for this program as soon as possible upon arrival at Vandenberg AFB. The program is 10 duty days consisting of briefings, training, and physical fitness training. The briefing portion of the program includes professional development, ancillary training, mission orientation, and site tours. The second portion of the program includes physical fitness, warfit evaluations, as well as group and individual exercise.
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.
