The idea of moving to a new location can be overwhelming.    We are committed to providing a world-class Homeport Change experience to help prepare for the shift.  If going overseas, this will be an exciting time to live among different cultures and see the world.   If you are traveling back to the continental U.S., it is an opportunity to reacquaint with family, friends, and places not seen for some time.   This site and associated guides contain a wealth of information to help service members and their families plan for relocation. We want to answer your questions or guide you to the right resources to ensure a smooth transition to your new duty station.
  
Using all the available resources and asking questions early and often can reduce stress and keep your morale high.  Browse the provided material and suggested websites to help you and your family familiarize yourself with the new homeport.


 


Information tailored specifically to your ship will be discussed during Homeport Change Town Hall meetings scheduled 10 months before the homeport change.   In the meantime, comprehensive information guides will be listed below to assist in planning.
