Sponsorship

Your sponsor is an important person who can help with everything from housing to in-processing. A sponsor can help resolve many issues that occur during your move. Air Force regulations require a sponsor be named after notification of your new assignment. Sponsors are expected, at a minimum, to write you concerning the base, the unit's mission and your job. Also, your sponsor is expected to meet you on arrival and help you get settled into the base and the community. If you do not hear from your sponsor within 60 days of your reporting date, contact your local Military Personnel Element (MPE) or Airman and Family Readiness Center. If you arrive between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, report to your commander's support staff. If you arrive after duty hours or on a weekend/holiday, the 24-hour arrival point is the Sakakawea Inn, 701-723-6161 or DSN 312-453-6161. If you encounter any problems before or during your in-processing to Minot AFB, contact the base Right Start monitor at DSN 312-453-3950 or 701-723-3950.

Until you obtain a permanent address, your mail may be forwarded to: Your Name, PSC 1 Box 1000, Minot AFB, ND 58705-5003.

Temporary Quarters

If you arrive after duty hours or on a weekend/holiday consider staying your first night at the 24 hour arrival point, the Sakakawea Inn located at 14 Summit Drive, DSN 312-453-6161 or 701-723-6161. The toll free number for making CONUS Air Force lodging reservations is 1-888-AF LODGE (1-888-235-6343).

Pets are not allowed in visiting quarters facilities. There are five pet-friendly family units available on a first-come/first-serve basis. If pet friendly rooms are booked, ask desk for arrangement options.

Single airmen should coordinate with their sponsor (or the First Sergeant) to ensure a dorm room is secured prior to arrival. Lodging and local hotels are booked for state sponsored events in late July, early September, and early October. If you are PCSing during these periods make your reservations early.
