MILITARY IN-PROCESSING
Once newcomers arrive at D-M, they should go directly to their unit orderly room during normal duty hours. The unit orderly room will schedule the Airman for in-processing with the Military Personnel Flight. The MPF will in turn schedule the Airman for Right Start appointments.

All Airmen must accomplish in-processing with the unit Orderly Room before taking permissive leave for house hunting. After normal duty hours, or on weekends or holidays, newcomers should check in at the 24-hour arrival point in billeting, Building 2350, on Tenth Street. The telephone number is 748-1500. All newcomers are assigned a sponsor, and billeting will have a computer listing with their name, home and office telephone numbers.

newcomers for mandatory briefings, including Right Start, human relations, drug and alcohol abuse policies, and education and financial management. All Airmen must accomplish scheduling within five days of arriving at D-M. Another thing to take care of right away is arrangements with the post office, Building 2240. Single members living in the dormitory will get a post office box. General delivery for mail is assigned for everyone else until the post office receives a forwarding address. Military members must wear a uniform during in-processing.

To keep things running smoothly, everyone should bring the following items and information:
• A pen
• All remaining copies of current orders and amendments, if any
• Finance records • Military transportation request, if returning from overseas
• Receipts for motels, ground transportation, etc., for people who were not paid mileage

Military members may bring their dependents to the Desert Inn dining facility for a period not to exceed 30 days after arrival at D-M. Prices are ala carte, and current policy requires the military sponsor to accompany civilian family members whenever they use the facility. Call 228-5501 for more information.
