CHECK INTO YOUR NEW UNIT/COMMAND IMMEDIATELY UPON
ARRIVAL.
Many entitlements and services require command
endorsements prior to initiating them. Examples are Arrival TLA
entitlement, DLA request, base housing application, etc
...
For Marines:
The Hawii Installation
Personnel Administrative Center or HIPAC Inbound Section is the central point of
checking in. With HIPAC in place, there's a two step "Check-In"
process.
- The Marine must report to his/her gaining command and receive a billet
assignment.
- Then check into IPAC Inbound Section to complete your
inprocessing.
Marines may delay or forfeit arrival entitlements
if they go on leave status after checking into the command but failed to check
into HIPAC. There are non-retroactive entitlements/reimbursements
which cannot be recouped should this occur. Marines must complete the
two step process.
For Navy:The individual
units/commands are responsible for this process.
