Travel Planning
Temporary Lodging Reservations
Temporary lodging is available through the Whiteman Inn. If there is no availability newcomers will receive a referral to an off base contract hotel. The closest is the America's Best Value Inn in Knob Noster, with others in Warrensburg and Sedalia.
Note: Many rooms do not have cooking facilities. Do not make reservations without first consulting with the on-base lodging staff for a non-availability letter. Temporary rentals in the area are limited. Most would like for you to enter into a lease, but some landlords will negotiate. Do not rely on a "military clause" in a lease to get released early to move on base. The local area does not necessarily consider the "military clause" a reason to terminate a lease early. You must have orders to another destination. When in doubt, check with the housing office before signing anything. Several motels are within commuting distance, to Whiteman. The approximate range of rates is $60 to $80 per night with a military discount.
Lodging Office -- Make reservations as soon as possible. The Lodge is located at 325 Mitchell Avenue, Whiteman AFB. You may reach them by calling 660-687-1844 or DSN312-975-1844.

Command Sponsorship
Concurrent Travel is defined as an authorized move at government expense to an overseas location (family must complete the move jointly with the member or within 20 weeks of member's move). A Command Sponsored Tour refers to members who are returning to the United States (or going to another overseas base) from an Overseas Tour with newly acquired dependents (i.e. single member got married while overseas). Command Sponsorship requires Major Command (MAJCOM) and Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) approval prior to making the move. Taking family member(s) on a Non-Command Sponsored Tour could result in all moving expenses being out-of-pocket for the member.
The Welcome/Visitors Center is located at 101 Spirit Blvd, Whiteman AFB and can be reached by calling 660-687-2833 or DSN 312-975-2833. The center is open 24 hours/ 7 days a week.
Reporting Procedures
Your sponsor should meet you upon arrival, either at the Visitor's Center, billeting or the airport. It is your responsibility to ensure he or she knows your arrival specifics. Next, please check in with your Squadron and meet with your supervisor. Report to the Military Personnel Force Support Section at Bldg 3036, Suite 330. Here you will officially sign into the base, take care of any leave web issues, and you will be assigned date and time for Inprocessing. Next, report to MPF Customer Service also at Bldg 3036.

This briefing is mandatory for all members. You will receive briefings from the Force Support Section, Housing Office, Customer Support, and Medical and Dental Treatment Facilities. If you have hand carried your medical records, please bring with you to turn in during this briefing. In the afternoon, you will return to this same location to complete your Medical Inprocessing and briefings. If you have family members, please stop by the TRICARE office to verify your enrollment or to change your enrollment to the proper TRICARE servicing area. Spouses are welcome to attend.
Your travel vouchers are now completed on-line. The Finance office offers a short briefing everyday at 2:00 p.m. and is available to work with you one-on-one to assist you through this process.
