Arrival

There are two major airports in the tri-country area. Tampa International Airport is located off Interstate 275 on the Tampa side of the Howard Franklin Bridge. St. Petersburg- Clearwater International Airport is located on the Pinellas County side of Tampa Bay, off U.S. 19, 15 minutes from downtown Clearwater and less than 30 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg.

From Interstate 75 South take the Leroy Selmon Expressway (also known as the Cross Town) toward Tampa. This is a toll highway with two toll stations. The first toll is $1.25 and the second is $1.00. Continue on the expressway until it ends at the MacDill AFB exit number 1B. Another route is from I-75 South to 275 South and then taking exit number 41A. From both directions, you'll travel on South Dale Mabry to the Madill's Main Gate.

Follow airport exit signs to Tampa and Westshore Blvd (south ). Continue south on Westshore until you reach Interbay Avenue. Take a left onto Interbay until you get to South Dale Mabry and, at the traffic light, take a right onto Dale Mabry. The main gate to MacDill is two blocks south.

When you arrive at MacDill Air Force Base, your first step should be to contact your Commander's Support Staff (CSS). There, you will turn in all records from your last assignment, update your DD Form 93 (Emergency Data Card) and get scheduled for the MPF (Military Personnel Flight)/Finance and Right Start Orientation.
