Here are some tips for those servicemembers traveling
unaccompanied.
*Learn as much about the area as possible - visit the new
area if possible.
*Get information from your current Family Service
Center, your new location's Chamber of Commerce, and libraries.
*Open a
new checking account while you visit so the checks are ready when you
arrive.
*Check out the cost/availability of car insurance in your new
area.
*Find out how/where to get new driver's license and voter's
registration.
*Get maps of the new city so you will be familiar with
major streets, highways, etc.
*Drop off a change of address so your mail
will follow you.
*Arrange for your personal belongings - stero's, TV's,
computer's - to be moved by setting up an appointment with your Personal
Property Office at your current duty station.
*Request a sponsor at your
new duty station.
*Single service members and geographic bachelors
seeking on-base quarters must check in at the Combined Bachelor Quarters (CBQ)
