COMSUBDEVRON FIVE PCS GUIDE
CONGRATULATIONS on your orders to Commander Submarine Development Squadron Five at Naval base Kitsap. Below are a few items permanent change of station.

UNIFORM WEAR
While it was once common for personnel to transit/PCS in uniform, this is no longer a good practice due to force protection rules. When traveling on military orders you should always wear conservative civilian attire.

TRAVEL
Prior to detaching your current command sit with your CPPA and discuss PCS entitlements using the PCS travel entitlements calculator located on the navy personnel command website. Also, available is the PCS mobile app that provides unique checklists tailored to the needs of your upcoming transition. To access the PCS checklist, login to my navy portal at https://my.navy.mil/ and select the assignment, leave, travel career life event and select PCS checklist from the menu. To facilitate a smooth transfer ensure you keep copies of all applicable documentation for your transfer to provide on your day of reporting. This includes hotel receipts, flight itineraries, and your original stamped orders with any order modifications.

MEDICAL/DENTAL
Dental class 1 or 2 should be completed prior to PCS. All shots must be up to date for the service member and accompanying family members.

HOUSING AND LODGING INFORMATION
A certificate of Non-Availability (CNA) may be required from the Navy gateway Inn and/or Navy Lodge prior to arranging stay in other temporary lodging establishments.
