Overview
Location
Naval Base Coronado is located in Coronado, California, one of the most unique and beautiful beachfront cities
in the world. Measuring only 13.5 square miles and located just minutes from downtown San Diego, this
enchanted island has it all: beaches, parks, numerous recreational activities, highly rated schools, top notch
municipal services, a wonderful climate, and an ideal location. San Diego, a military town, has a higher cost of
living than most cities in America but is also known as "America's Finest City."
The base operator's phone number is 619-545-1011 or DSN 312-735-1011.
History
North Island was commissioned a naval air station in 1917. On August 15, 1963, the station, which was called
the Naval Air Station San Diego until 1955, was granted official recognition as the "Birthplace of Naval
Aviation" by resolution of the House Armed Services Committee. For more information, please visit Naval Base
Coronado's homepage: https://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrsw/installations/navbase_coronado.html
Mission
Naval Base Coronado's mission is to provide the highest quality logistical support and quality of life services to
the U.S. Navy operating forces and for assigned activities at other commands as needed, and to provide the
right support, at the right time, in the right amount, enabling operating forces to produce the right level of
combat readiness; that is, support the Fleet, Fighter, and Family.

Population Served
Naval Base Coronado is broken up into eight
installations. NAS North Island (NASNI) (often
pronounced naz-knee) is host to two major
aircraft carriers, the USS CARL VINSON (CVN
70) and the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT
(CVN 71), aviation squadrons, 80 additional
tenant commands, and activities. One activity, the
Naval Aviation Depot, is the largest aerospace
employer in San Diego. Naval Amphibious Base
(NAB), is host to thirty commands including the
headquarters for the Naval Special Warfare
Command (a second echelon command for America's elite maritime special operations forces), the U.S. Navy
SEALs, and Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewmen. Naval Base Coronado also operates two other
airfields in the Southern California region. One is Naval Auxiliary Landing Facility San Clemente Island,
located 70 miles northwest of San Diego in the California Channel Islands. The other is Outlying Landing
Field Imperial Beach, located 10 miles south of the base on the U.S./Mexican border. The air station
resembles a small city in its operations.

Naval Base Coronado also encompasses Camp Morena. Population consists of DoD personnel, Military
Families, Civilians, and Joint Armed Forces. It has its own police and fire departments. It has its own parks,
beaches, housing and recreation areas, as well as large factories such as Naval Air Depot Civilian
Employment Opportunities (NADEP).

Base Transportation
Currently, there is no base transportation on this installation. There is a Transportation Incentive Program
(TIP), which issues vouchers so that transportation to and from work is free for active duty personnel. Please
visit the Transportation and Incentive website to fill out an application.
Please contact the Installation Coordinator at 619-247-6000 for more information.
Sponsorship
You may request a sponsor in several different ways. We cannot stress enough the importance of having a
2
Sponsor in the San Diego area to assist in your PCS move. Your Sponsor is your link to information regarding
your specific needs in the San Diego area. You may contact your new command to request a sponsor (see
Major Unit Listings). Once your sponsor is assigned, be sure to ask about your command's specific check-in
policy. This is especially important if you will be checking in while your command is underway. Don't forget to
ask your sponsor about options for forwarding your mail while in route, or ask your local Post Office about
holding and forwarding your mail.
Temporary Quarters
San Diego has no temporary housing, so military families must depend on Navy and Marine Corps Lodge or
local hotel/motel accommodations for temporary lodging. You must make reservations at the Navy Lodge well
in advance because San Diego is a very large duty station and demand far exceeds availability. When making
your reservations mention you are on PCS orders and you may receive priority. Please note that lodging on
this military installation does not allow pets. For more information and reservations, call the Navy Lodge at
1-800-628-9466 or visit the Navy Lodge website. The San Diego area has most of the known major hotels
such as Ramada Inn, Marriott, Motel 6, and Travel Lodge to name a few. The current Temporary Lodging
Expense (TLE) policy requires those traveling on PCS orders to check for availability with the Navy Lodge at
area installations. If there is no availability, or appropriate accommodations, the Navy Lodge will issue a
Certificate of Non-Availability in order to receive
reimbursement for non-government lodging.

fines assessed for violating these laws. Hands-free devices must be used while operating a motor vehicle on
ALL military installations worldwide.
Obtaining a California Driver's License
There are seven Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) locations in the San Diego area. The DMV maintains that
lawful family members are entitled to the same nonresident status as their active duty sponsors. Therefore, the
DMV has determined that a California driver's license is not required of a family member as long as the
following criteria are met:
The family member's home state driver's license remains valid.
The family member is age 18 or older.
The family member does not establish permanent residency in California.
The family member is not employed for compensation for the purpose of driving a motor vehicle.
Registering Vehicles in California
If the service member wants to register his or her vehicle in California then the DMV has a special form to be
filled out by the service member to receive a military rate on the basic annual registration and vehicle fee.

 Education - General Overview
Introduction
There are no DoD Schools in the San Diego Area. In all, San Diego County has 42 independent school
districts, according to the San Diego County Office of Education. For more information on accreditation visit the
website location in the contact section. The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) is the eighth largest
U.S. urban district and California's second largest school district, educating 132,000 pre-school through 12th-
grade students.
The district's student population is extremely diverse, representing more than 15 ethnic groups with more than
60 languages and dialects spoken at home. The school your child attends is determined by where you live. If
you will live in the city of San Diego, visit the San Diego Unified School District school finder website. If you
choose to live outside the city of San Diego, contact the San Diego County Office of Education. A huge range
of private schools and alternative options exist. For more information, visit Great Schools.
Calendar Year
Calendar years for most schools, including all high schools, vary, but most start in early September and end
about the middle of June. There are 176 schools operating on year-round schedules. These schools also begin
their year in September, but stagger the 180 days of instruction over the entire year, rather than nine months.
Most students receive a minimum of three vacation periods during the year.
Transportation/Bus Service
Each district determines what, if any, bus transportation it provides to students in its boundaries. Students and
their families are responsible for transportation if attending a school other than their assigned school. In some
areas, fees for bus service may apply.
Meals
Meals are served to students through the Federally Funded USDA National School Lunch Program and School
Breakfast Program. Food is also served during the summer through the Summer Food Service Program.
Children from families whose income satisfies specific criteria may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals.
To apply, contact your child's school to request a confidential Certification Application. All students are also
encouraged to take advantage of the Kid's Choice Caf program, which provides healthy, nutritious meals
developed by registered dietitians. For more information contact the Food Services at 858-627-7340.
Before and After School
Most San Diego area schools offer a Before and After School Program for children. PrimeTime Extended Day
Program provides academic support and enrichment activities before and/or after school for students at the
middle and elementary level at 132 school sites. These services are available at no cost to participating
families through the After School Education and Safety state grant funds. Please contact the San Diego Unified
School District Extended Learning Opportunities Department Instructional Media Center at 858-503-1870.
However, if you choose to live outside of the San Diego Unified School District there may be a fee for these
services. For more information contact the San Diego County of Education, at 858-292-3500.
The CNRSW Child & Youth Programs operates eight housing area recreation centers and offers a wide
variety of recreation programs for children ages three to seventeen. Some of these programs include open
recreation, field trips, teen programs, and special events, as well as the programs listed below. For additional
information on any of these programs or services, contact your local Housing Area Recreation Center or call
the Murphy Canyon Youth Center at 858-268-2828.

County of Education at 858-292-3500 for more information. Don't forget to check out MWR Youth Programs as
well, for additional sport programs. Visit the MWR website for more information.
Special Needs/Exceptional Children Programs
The California Education Code is compliant with the federal code that provides for the least restrictive
environment for any children with special needs. The goal is always to keep students with special needs in
regular classrooms. When appropriate, students may need to supplement their studies with the assistance of a
resource specialist, speech pathologist or speech therapist that can work in or outside the classroom with
them. Children with severe learning disabilities may be placed in separate classrooms that can better
accommodate their individual learning needs. Each school district in San Diego County has a school
psychologist who conducts an individual assessment of students to determine eligibility for a special needs
program. That psychologist works in conjunction with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team that is
composed of both education professionals, and parents to develop a custom plan, which is regularly reviewed
and updated.
Local School and/or DoD Schools
There are no DoD Schools in the San Diego Area.
Grading System
To encourage the highest achievement of every student, each school district has similar content standards,
which define the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level. Each
district's curriculum, student-level assessment, textbooks, instructional materials, and professional
development activities are all aligned with the standards. This ensures, among other benefits, that the
knowledge students acquire in the classroom is directly related to the statewide assessments they take each
year. For more information on your particular district, contact the San Diego County Office of Education at 858-
292-3500 or visit their website.
Grading scales vary widely, check with the individual school districts for more specific information.
Achievement Test Scores
Students in the San Diego Unified School District take a variety of tests each school year. Some tests are
required by the state and the district; others are required to sample student performance across the country.
State-Mandated Tests show how students are doing in meeting academic standards. For more information on
the variety of achievement test, visit the San Diego Unified School District website.
School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
California state law requires every public school and school district to issue an annual School Accountability
Report Card (SARC). Most school districts in San Diego County have school accountability report cards posted
on the web.
Enrollment
There are 118 elementary schools, 24 middle or junior high schools, 26 high schools, 14 atypical or alternative
schools, and 44 charter schools. To view a list of schools, or for information about a specific school, visit the

Public Schools
In San Diego County, there are three types of school districts: elementary, high school and unified. School
district and city boundaries are not necessarily contiguous. Pupil/teacher ratios vary widely; check out Great
Schools website for more information.
Unified school districts contain both elementary and secondary grades. All school districts offer basic education
programs as well as special programs and services. Personal contact with an individual school district is the
best way to learn about school calendars, facilities, curriculum, graduation requirements, extracurricular
activities and other areas.
The San Diego Unified School District is the largest in the County, and the eighth largest urban school district
in the nation. The district serves most of the metropolitan area within the San Diego city limits and provides a
variety of educational programs and options for students in kindergarten through high school. It operates as a
system of neighborhood schools, with all children eligible to attend the school serving their residential address,
unless the school is severely overcrowded. In such instances, the district assigns new students to a school
with adequate space and provides free transportation.
Magnet Schools
Parents also have options to send their children to schools outside the neighborhood by enrolling eligible
students in the district's magnet programs. Magnet Programs are special learning opportunities for all students
living in and around the San Diego Unified School District area. Magnet Programs attract students by offering
unique opportunities for in-depth studies in specific areas of study while meeting rigorous California state
curriculum standards. Magnet Programs also offer a variety of special features to students, which may include:
Reduced student/teacher ratio
Specialized teaching labs and studios
Additional funds for special activities
21st century technology
Field Trips
Extra classroom books and materials
Many magnet schools work closely with universities and businesses to provide exposure to higher education
and career opportunities.
For general magnet questions and the application directions, call Enrollment Options at 619-725-5672.
School Transfers
School districts generally set their own policies for intra-district transfers (from one school in the district to
another) and inter-district transfers (to a school outside the district). Preferences are often given to children
whose childcare provider is near a particular school, or whose parents work in the city where the school is
located. Most school districts have an appeals process if your request is denied. Space limitations often make
transfers difficult and each district's process has its own regulations, so be sure to check with your local district
for specific requirements.
Charter Schools
Charter schools are public schools that may provide instruction in grades kindergarten through 12. Charter
schools are usually created or organized by a group of parents, teachers and other educators, and community
11
leaders or community-based organizations. The specific goals and operating procedures for a charter school
are detailed in the agreement (or "charter") between the board and the organizers.
Key Objectives Are To:
Provide choices for parents and students within the public school system for innovative, high-quality
learning opportunities.
Stimulate competition in the educational market.
To meet these objectives, charter schools are granted increased autonomy in exchange for increased
accountability for results. The school must meet all the student performance and operational goals listed in
its charter, or the charter may be revoked.
Alternative Schools
These are generally schools whose educational philosophies are different from traditional programs. Typically,
alternative schools have small classes, social and emotional development curriculum, and self-paced
academic curriculum. This title is used officially as well as informally to describe a wide range of schools, so it's
important to ask specific schools why they are classified as "alternative."
Homeschooling
Each state has different laws governing homeschooling. Many communities have organizations that assist
homeschooling families with curriculum and opportunities to meet other homeschool students. To homeschool
your child, you can register with the local school district or the San Diego County Office of Education. You'll be
given a standard curriculum to follow and an assigned teacher who will monitor your child's progress. If you
wish to homeschool independently, you must file a private school affidavit with the State of California and
create your own curriculum, or purchase it from a private company.
Private School
San Diego County is home to more than 200 private primary and secondary schools. These alternatives to
public schools offer families a learning atmosphere tailored to their own philosophies and their children's
specific needs.
Accreditation by independent agencies is available to private schools. Schools volunteer to have their
programs inspected and evaluated. Accreditation is not necessary in order to be considered a good school, but
it indicates a school's desire to be accountable to its own expectations. Private schools vary widely, from highly
structured to self-directed learning environments, to college prep and curriculum strong in artistic expression.
Most private schools are church affiliated; however, they often accept students of any religious background.
For information about scholarships, entrance requirements and waiting lists, parents should direct inquiries to
the desired school.

Special Needs - EFMP Family Support

Background
The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs was developed to support military families who have
children (birth through 21) with special educational needs. Military families can consult the directory for
information on special-needs issues and listings of national and local resources for early intervention (for
infants and toddlers) and special education (for school-age children) services.
Highlights
The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs is a valuable resource for military families. The
directory: helps families identify the early intervention agencies and public school districts located near the
installation prior to moving allows users to make more informed decisions and more easily navigate local early
intervention and special education systems includes information on a range of disabilities affecting school-age
children and on early intervention service providers and resources for infants and toddlers provides practical
suggestions (Tools for a Smooth Transition) for relocating families Education - Local Schools
How do I choose a school?
Choosing the right school for children is a priority for many military families. Finding the right educational
12
setting for each child requires a careful examination of the available options, whether you live on and off the
installation.
"Choosing a School for Your Child," a publication from the U.S. Department of Education, offers checklists and
questions to assist parents in making the right choices.
How do I find out about schools near my new duty station?
Several quality online tools are available. Military OneSource is a free service offered by the Department of
Defense to service members and their families to help with a broad range of concerns including education,
parenting and child care, relocation and the concerns of families with special-needs members. An educational
consultation with a specialty consultant is available, free of charge, and can help you address specific
educational needs and goals.
How can I help plan for a successful transition?
Parents often want to know about the availability of extracurricular activities and sports, or the availability of
advanced classes for their children. While there are other sources that can provide some information on these
topics, it is usually best to get this information by contacting the schools directly.

Child and Youth Programs

The Department of Defense takes great pride in the variety and quality of services provided to children and
youth on installations worldwide. While the services provided may vary by location, the standards and quality of
services are consistent and meet established regulations.
Child Development Centers
Child development centers generally offer child care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Care is available
Monday through Friday, with some locations offering options, such as extended hours, weekend care and
respite care. Child development centers vary in size and larger installations may operate multiple facilities.
Programs are certified by the Department of Defense and accredited by a national accrediting body, such as
the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Family Child Care (FCC)/ Child Development Homes (CDH)
Children ages 2 weeks to 12 years may receive care in the private home of a certified care provider living in
government-owned or leased housing. Care may also be provided in a state-licensed home in the community.
In-home childcare is typically available weekdays and with additional care provided during evenings, weekends
and flexible hourly care for shift work. Regulations limit the number of children who receive care at any one
time to no more than six children under age 8 and no more than two children under age 2. Family child care/
CDH providers must be certified to operate by the installation. Individual providers may voluntarily seek
national accreditation from the National Association of Family Child Care and are provided local support,
training and materials to accomplish this goal.
School-Age Programs
School-age programs provide care to children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Care is offered before and
after school, during non-school days and summer vacations. School-age programs may be located in
Department of Defense youth centers, child development centers or in other suitable facilities. All programs are
certified by the Department of Defense and accredited by a national accrediting body, such as the Council on
Accreditation.

Exceptional Family Member (EFM) Housing
19
The Exceptional Family Member Program is a mandatory program to support families with special needs.
Various physical, emotional, developmental, and educational special needs may require enrollment. For more
information, contact CNRSW Fleet & Family Support Center. There are six categories of EFM identifying the
level of special care required. Family members designated as Categories 4 and 5 are severely disabled and
permanency in living arrangements is desirable. Personnel being assigned under EFM Category 4 or 5 priority
status are not permitted to choose a neighborhood. EFM assignments are made at the discretion of the
CNRSW Family Housing Welcome Center.
Once an EFM family has been assigned to MFH, they are not automatically eligible for priority relocation when
they have a change in status, such as family composition or pay grade. Requests for priority relocation should
be submitted in writing via the service member's command to the appropriate housing office. More details

Generator information can be obtained from the EFM Housing Coordinator at 619-556-8037
Non-Government Housing
The Department of Defense relies on the local community to provide the majority of housing occupied by
military personnel and their families. Since military family housing is only built when there is a shortage of
suitable, affordable housing in the private sector, most military families live in off-base rental or privately-owned
properties. In San Diego, 80 % of military families live in housing in the private sector.
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is tax-free housing allowance that is provided to military members (with
and without dependents) who are authorized to reside off base at government expense. BAH amounts are
determined by location, rank, and whether or not the member has dependents.
The cost of purchasing a home in San Diego varies widely and the average cost of housing in San Diego is
high compared to other locations around the country. Opportunities to purchase or rent are available
throughout the County. The types of housing available are as varied as the communities within the County.
Single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments are available throughout the private sector.
Military housing tenants are protected by the same state and federal fair housing and consumer protection
laws as civilian tenants. Due to the DoD's authority to relocate military members to new assignments without
their consent, Congress enacted legislation that permits military tenants to lawfully terminate rental contracts
early without penalty when they receive military orders to relocate. In time of war, members may be deployed
for extended periods without the worry of owing rent on units they could not occupy. Contact the Navy Legal
Services Office for information on protections afforded by the Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA).
Rental/Purchase Options
CNRSW Family Housing Welcome Center is your contact for any problems you may encounter such as
discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes, or any questions or problems about off-base housing Staff
can provide you a list of rentals and information regarding the communities in which the rentals are located. All
renters should carry renters insurance against fire, theft and other damages. The property owner's insurance
will cover the property but not the renter's personal property. Be sure to transfer coverage from your previous
home after you arrive.
Availability
While the average cost of housing in San Diego is high, opportunities to purchase or rent are available
throughout the County. The types of housing available are as varied as the communities within the County.
20
Single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments are available throughout the private sector.
Deposits and Fees
Many realtors/landlords require fee to process your application. This fee offsets their expense for verifying your
credit references, employment history, etc. If the fee is $20.00 or less, it does not have to be refunded if you do
not take the rental. If the application fee exceeds $20.00 and you do not rent the unit, you may be entitled to a
refund. In California, a security deposit for unfurnished residential property may be twice the cost of rent. For
furnished apartments, the landlord may charge up to three times the rent. In California, there are no non-
refundable security deposits. No matter what its called, all money you pay in addition to your first months rent
is refundable. Nonrefundable deposits are illegal according to Section 1950.5 of the California Civil Code.
Pet Deposits
Many San Diego landlords prohibit pets; others will allow them with an additional deposit or non-refundable
fee. The amount may vary according to the type, size, and number of pets. There may also be an additional
monthly charge for allowing your pets.

Household Goods - Overview

Arranging Household Goods Shipments
As soon as you are alerted to your upcoming permanent change of station move, you can start getting your
house and family ready. Clean up and get rid of junk. Hold a yard sale or donate serviceable items you no
longer need. Gather important family records.
If you are moving overseas, begin to plan what items will go in unaccompanied baggage, in your household
goods shipment and in permanent storage. Remember, in overseas areas, the electric current may be different
and houses are generally much smaller than those in the United States. These are good questions to ask your
sponsor.
Household Goods Shipping Process
The Defense Personal Property System is the online system you will use to manage your household goods
shipment. For how-to guides to assist with your application go to Move.mil.
Pets
Moving with your pet includes researching airline requirements and quarantine restriction laws in your new
location. Many airlines have requirements for size, weight, breed, number of animals, kennel construction,
documentation and seasonal limitations. Small pets may be shipped on military flights, but availability and
regulations are always changing. Search Move.mil for more general information on shipping pets.
Many international locations have strict importation laws, including extended quarantines and restrictions on
breeds or types of animals. Carefully research these rules as they could impact your moving schedule. You
may also find some locations in the United States that have restrictions on certain animals and breeds.
Review the U.S. Transportation Command booklet, "It's Your Move," for detailed information on weight
allowances, the household goods shipping process, storage, automobile shipments, claims processes and the
customer satisfaction survey.

Household Goods - Shipping Pets

Getting Started
Before you attempt to bring your pet to San Diego (especially if you are transferring from an overseas location),
you should check with the following national, state, and county agencies to ensure that your pets species is
permitted, and if so, what (if any) permits or certificates are required for their entry. If flying, also check with
your airline.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA)
County of San Diego Animals Services department: 619-263-7741
Before your departure, make sure you have:
o Photos: a recent photograph of your pet, in case the animal is lost, can be a lifesaver.
o Identification: whether you are traveling by air or car, any pet that can wear a collar should have one
on, with an ID tag (and rabies tag, if required) secured to it. Birds may be identified by leg bands. The
ID tag should include the pet's name, your name, and the destination address, and a contact phone

24
 number.
Health/immunization records
Health Certificates and/or Permits (if required)
Boarding
There are hundreds of different facilities for pet boarding in San Diego. Military OneSource can also help you
research for your specific breed or pet needs. Costs vary but it's not uncommon to see rates at roughly $50 per
day for dogs or cats, with higher costs for more exotic pets. It is critical to plan for pet boarding arrangements
prior to your arrival in San Diego. Contact FFSC for relocation support, including referrals to various community
resources that can assist you.
Transportation/Pet Travel
International Pet Animal Transportation Association (IPATA) web pages.
Moving to a new home can be stressful on your pets, but there are many things you can do to make the
process as painless as possible. Here are a few tips:
1. Update your pet's tag. Make sure your pet is wearing a sturdy collar with an identification tag that is labeled
with your current contact information. The tag should include your home location, telephone number, and cell
phone number so that you can be reached immediately during the move.
2. Ask for and travel with your pet's veterinary records.
3. Keep medications and food on hand. Keep at least one week's worth of food and medication with you in
case of an emergency. Vets can't write a prescription without a prior doctor/patient relationship, which can
cause delays if you need medication right away. You may want to ask for an extra prescription refill before you
move. The same preparation should be taken with special therapeutic foods - purchase an extra supply in case
you can't find the food right away in your new area.
4. Seclude your pet from chaos. Pets can feel vulnerable on moving day. Keep them in a safe, quiet, well-
ventilated place, such as the bathroom, on moving day with a "Do Not Disturb! - Pets Inside!" sign posted on
the door. There are many light, collapsible travel crates on the market if you choose to buy one. However,
make sure your pet is familiar with the new crate before moving day by gradually introducing him or her to the
crate before your trip. Be sure the crate is well-ventilated and sturdy enough for stress-chewers; otherwise, a
nervous pet could escape.
5. Prepare a first aid kit. First aid is not a substitute for emergency veterinary care, but being prepared and
knowing basic first aid could save your pet's life. A few recommended supplies: Your veterinarian's phone
number, gauze to wrap wounds or to muzzle your pet, adhesive tape for bandages, non-stick bandages,
towels, and hydrogen peroxide
(3 percent). You can use a door, board, blanket or floor mat as an emergency stretcher and a soft cloth, rope,
necktie, leash, or nylon stocking for an emergency muzzle.
6. Play it safe in the car. It's best to travel with your dog in a crate; second-best is to use a restraining harness.
When it comes to cats, it's always best for their safety and yours to use a well-ventilated carrier in the car.
Secure the crate or carrier with a seat belt and provide your pet with familiar toys. Never keep your pet in the
open bed of a truck or the storage area of a moving van. In any season, a pet left alone in a parked vehicle is
vulnerable to injury and theft. Talk to your vet for information on other types of pets and the safest way to
transport them by plane, car, or other means.
8. If you'll be using overnight lodging, plan ahead by searching for pet-friendly hotels. Have plenty of kitty litter
and plastic bags on hand, and keep your pet on its regular diet and eating schedule.
9. Get ready for takeoff. When traveling by air, check with the airline about any pet requirements or restrictions
to be sure you've prepared your pet for a safe trip. Some airlines will allow pets in the cabin, depending on the
animal's size, but you'll need to purchase a special airline crate that fits under the seat in front of you. Give
yourself plenty of time to work out any arrangements necessary including consulting with your veterinarian and
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
10. Call the state veterinary medical association (VMA) for veterinarians in your location. When choosing a
new veterinary hospital, ask for an impromptu tour; kennels should be kept clean at all times, not just when a
25
client's expected. You may also want to schedule an appointment to meet the vets. Ask yourself if the
receptionists, doctors, technicians, and assistants are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Are the office
hours and location convenient? Does the clinic offer emergency or specialty services or boarding? If the
hospital doesn't meet your criteria, keep looking until you're assured that your pet will receive the best possible
care.
11. Upon arrival to your new home, immediately set out all the familiar and necessary things your pet will need:
food, water, medications, bed, litter box, toys, etc. Pack these items in a handy spot so they can be unpacked
right away. Keep all external windows and doors closed when your pet is unsupervised, and be cautious of
narrow gaps behind or between appliances where nervous pets may try to hide.
12. Once you find a new veterinarian, ask about local health concerns such as heart worm or Lyme disease, or
any vaccinations or medications your pet may require. Also, be aware of any unique laws. For example, there
are restrictive breed laws in some cities.
13. Most communities, military or otherwise, require pets to be on leashes. Click here for information on license
requirements, leash laws, and other important regulatory information for pet owners.
Quarantines
There are currently no quarantine regulations for normal pet imports into San Diego. For more information,
consult the agencies listed in the Getting Started section of this article.
Vaccinations, Licensing & Registrations
Pets are allowed at some military housing communities within metro San Diego. Contact the San Diego
Housing Office ahead of time to let them know that you have a pet and need information on restrictions. You
will need to register your pet with the Housing Office and follow the community policies with regards to the
number of pets, weight and breed restrictions, pet security deposit and the care of your pet. Please refer to the
pet policy available for each San Diego military family housing neighborhood on the Lincoln Military Housing
website for more information.
It is highly advisable to contact the military installation that you plan to visit prior to bringing a pet on the base
via your car or on foot. Each base has its own regulations, and certain pets are not authorized on any
installation due to the potential for harm to others. The base quarterdeck can provide you with general
information on installation policies.
San Diego's 3.2 million residents share the County with more than 1 million pets and sheltered animals. Visit
the County of San Diego website for the latest policies on licensing and registration. Costs vary; typically lower
for pets that have been surgically altered, such as spayed or neutered. On average, licenses for dogs could
cost roughly $40 for altered dogs and around $70 for unaltered dogs. General information and online licensing
for dogs is available at the County of San Diego Animal Services website or call 619-263-7741.

Health Care - Overview
Moving with TRICARE
When you move, TRICARE moves with you. It's there before, during and when you get to your next duty
station. It's available worldwide. There are steps you need to take to make sure changes to your TRICARE
coverage go smoothly. With your move, you may have to use a different TRICARE option.
Please Note:
You and your family members have to show as TRICARE eligible in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility
Reporting System, or DEERS.
For TRICARE plan information, visit the TRICARE Plan Information Kits page.
Regional and overseas contractor information is available on TRICARE's Contact Us page.
Print out the TRICARE contact wallet card and keep it with you.
Always keep personal contact information current in DEERS, especially your address and email.
Prime Options
Prime Options In The United States
If you live in a Prime Service Area, then TRICARE Prime is an option for you. A Prime Service Area is usually
within a 40-mile area of a military clinic or hospital. With Prime, you have a primary care manager, who may be
a military or civilian doctor or a team of doctors, who manages your health care needs. Some active-duty family
members may enroll in the U.S. Family Health Plan, or USFHP. The USFHP offers a TRICARE
Prime-like option in six areas of the United States. You'll get all care (including prescription drug coverage)
from a network provider. With the USFHP, you can't get care at military hospitals and clinics or from TRICARE
network providers (emergency exceptions). You have to work with USFHP when get care overseas. Visit the
U.S. Family Health Plan page for more information.
If you don't live in a Prime Service Area, TRICARE Prime Remote is your other option. Eligible family members
have to live with their active-duty sponsor (with some exceptions) to enroll in TRICARE Prime Remote. In most
cases, your primary care manager is a network provider. If there's no local network provider, you can choose
any TRICARE authorized provider to act as your primary care manager.
Prime Options Overseas (Including U.S. Territories)
In overseas locations, you have two options for care:
TRICARE Overseas Program-Prime is for active-duty service members assigned overseas. Units are near
military clinics and hospitals. To enroll in in the program, family members must be command-sponsored. Your
primary care manager is a military provider or team of providers.
TRICARE Overseas Program-Prime Remote is available in certain remote overseas locations. It's for assigned
active-duty service members and their command-sponsored family members. Your primary care manager is
the overseas contractor who you contact through regional and country specific call centers.
Note: Active-duty service members must enroll in a Prime option.
When you know you're going to move, call your current TRICARE stateside overseas contractor. Find out if
your new location is in a new region and talk about your TRICARE options.
Transferring Your TRICARE Prime/Prime Remote Coverage
When you move, your Prime options may change. You have to transfer your enrollment if you move to a
different region. Some family members may have to disenroll and use TRICARE Standard. Options may vary
for each family member. Remember, to enroll in a Prime option overseas, family members must be command-
sponsored.
If you move within your current region, you still need to find out if your Prime option changes. You may only
need to get a new primary care manager. Again, call your current TRICARE regional or USFHP contractor to
talk about your move and your TRICARE options. Follow these steps to transfer your enrollment by phone:
27
Call your current TRICARE regional or USFHP contractor to transfer your enrollment or get a new primary care
manager. The contractor will ask about you, your family, where you're moving to and the estimated date you'll
get to your new duty station. Your current contractor then shares your information with your new contractor. If
you only need a new primary care manager, they will work with you to make that happen. Your new contractor
will call you within five business days of your expected arrival date to discuss your Prime enrollment and
primary care manager options. Your enrollment transfer will be the day your new contractor calls and you
agree to the transfer. It may take up to four business days to record your transfer. You will still have Prime
coverage with your old region until the transfer is complete.
Update your address in DEERS as soon as you get to your new location, even if you're in temporary housing.
Log into milConnect to check on your enrollment. You can see who your primary care manager is and print out
an enrollment card.
Note: Don't disenroll from Prime before you move.
Other ways to transfer your enrollment include:
Transfer your enrollment online using TRICARE's Beneficiary Web Enrollment Tool. The Beneficiary Web
Enrollment Tool will be available in 2016 for those moving stateside from an overseas location. In the
Beneficiary Web Enrollment Tool, you can set a date up to 90 days in the future as your enrollment transfer
date. Call your new contractor when you arrive in your new duty location. They can transfer your enrollment
over the phone. Download an enrollment form and mail it to the regional contractor for your new region.
Remember to note the date you want the transfer to go into effect. Enrollment information for the USFHP is
available on the U.S. Family Health Plan page.
Enroll when you in-process at your new duty location. To learn more, visit the TRICARE Moving page.
TRICARE Standard and Extra
TRICARE Standard and Extra is an option for active-duty family members. You don't have to enrollcoverage
is automatic as long as you show as TRICARE eligible in DEERS. With TRICARE Standard or Extra you can
see any TRICARE-authorized provider, non-network or network. You pay a deductible and costs shares.
If you visit a non-network provider, you're use the Standard option. You may have to pay in full up front and file
a claim for reimbursement.
If you visit a network provider, you're using the Extra option. You only need to pay your cost share at your
appointment.
If you're a family member and don't want to enroll in TRICARE Overseas Program-Prime, or can't enroll
because you're not command-sponsored, you have TRICARE Overseas Program-Standard. You can see any
civilian provider (except in the Philippines). If you want or have to use TRICARE Standard when you move, call
the new regional contractor to disenroll from Prime when you get to your new location.
If you already using TRICARE Standard and Extra:
Once you get to your new location, update your personal information in DEERS as soon as possible. You can
update your personal information through milConnect, through TRICARE's Beneficiary Web Enrollment Tool or
calling the Defense Manpower Data Center toll-free at 800-538-9552; TTY/TTD: 866-363-2883.
Find a provider. If you are within the United States, you can find network and non-network providers by region
through the TRICARE Find a Doctor page. If you are overseas, you can find a provider through the TRICARE
Overseas website or call the overseas regional call center.
If you're in a new region, the claims address changes. Check the TRICARE Filing Claims page for your new
mailing address.
TRICARE For Life
TRICARE For Life is for those who have Medicare and TRICARE. You don't have to enroll - coverage is
automatic as long as you show in DEERS as TRICARE-eligible and have Medicare Part A and Part B if
needed. When you go to a Medicare doctor, show your Medicare and uniformed service identification cards.
Your provider files your claims with Medicare. Medicare pays first and sends the claim to the TRICARE For Life
28
claims processor. TRICARE then pays second for TRICARE-covered services.
If you're an active-duty family member, you don't have to have Medicare Part B to keep your TRICARE
benefits. You must have Part B to keep TRICARE once your sponsor retires.
When you move, update your personal information in DEERS as soon as possible. To find a new provider:
If you are within the United States or in U.S. territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands,
American Samoa or the U.S. Virgin Islands), you can search the Medicare Provider Directory or call 800-633-
4227 to find a Medicare-certified provider. Visit the Medicare website or the TRICARE For Life website to learn
more.
If you are at an overseas location, TRICARE For Life works a little differently. Medicare doesn't pay for care
overseas, TRICARE is your primary payer. You may get care from any civilian provider. You pay up front and
then file a claim with the TRICARE overseas contractor. You have to pay TRICARE Standard deductibles and
cost shares. You can find a provider through the TRICARE Overseas website or call the overseas regional call
center.
Getting Care Along The Way
Before you move, take care of any routine medical needs, including immunizations. Fill your prescriptions so
you have enough while traveling. TRICARE defines emergency care as "medical services provided for a
sudden or unexpected medical or psychiatric condition or the sudden worsening of a chronic condition that is
threatening to life, limb or sight and needs immediate medical treatment or a condition which has painful
symptoms that need immediate relief to stop suffering." TRICARE defines urgent care as "medical care for a
condition that will not result in disability or death if not treated immediately but should be treated within 24
hours to avoid further complications."
Emergency Care When Stateside If you require emergency care while traveling in the United States, call
911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Then call your primary care manager or regional contractor within
24 hours of being seen.
Urgent Care When Stateside If you require urgent care while traveling in the United States, are using a
Prime option and you're close to a military hospital or clinic, go there. You have priority access and you don't
need a referral to be seen. Otherwise, if you have Prime, call or contact your primary care manager for a
referral and authorization. If you don't get a referral and authorization before being seen, you'll pay the higher
point-of-service deductible and cost share. If you have Prime Remote and don't have an assigned primary care
manager, call the provider that acts are your primary provider or call your regional contractor.
Emergency Care When Overseas For emergency care, go to the nearest emergency care location. If you're
using TRICARE Overseas Program-Prime or Prime Remote, call International SOS Medical Assistance within
24 hours or on the next business day to get an authorization for the visit and needed ongoing care, and claims
payment information.
Urgent Care When Overseas For urgent care, go to the nearest military clinic or hospital if possible. Visit a
U.S. embassy or call the overseas regional call center. You need an authorization before you see a civilian
provider. The call center can help you find one. Without an authorization, you'll end up paying a higher point-of-
service deductible and cost share. Your claim may be denied if you're an active-duty member. More
information is available on the TRICARE Service Center and TRICARE Area Office websites. If you're using
TRICARE Standard or TRICARE For Life, you may get urgent care from any TRICARE-authorized provider. If
it's after clinic hours or you're not sure if you need to see a doctor, call TRICARE's Nurse Advice Line at
800-874-2273.
Filling prescriptions while traveling If you run out of a prescription drug while traveling, contact your military or
civilian provider. If you have refills on a military clinic prescription, check to see if your prescription can be
moved to and filled by another military treatment facility. If you have refills on your prescription with a major
retail pharmacy chain, check with the chain to see if they can transfer your prescription to a local chain
pharmacy. If you have refills on a drug you get through TRICARE home delivery, call the TRICARE pharmacy
contractor to see what can be done.
If you are within the United States or in U.S. territories and a doctor puts you on a new drug, fill your
prescription at a military pharmacy or TRICARE retail network pharmacy. If you are Prime and use a non-
29
network pharmacy, you pay the higher point-of-service deductible and cost share. You may have to pay out of
pocket for your drug(s). If so, file a claim with the TRICARE pharmacy contractor. If you are still in an overseas
Prime option, you file your claim with the overseas contractor.
If you are at an overseas location, and a doctor puts you on a new drug, fill your prescription at a military
pharmacy or go to a civilian pharmacy. You will likely have to pay out of pocket. You file your claim with the
TRICARE overseas contractor, even if you are enrolled in a stateside Prime option.
Getting Dental Care While Traveling
Getting dental care while traveling depends on your location and whether you are a service member of family
member. If you are an active-duty service member within the United States or in U.S. territories, you can
receive dental care at a military dental clinic. Contact the Active Duty Dental Care Program before you see a
dentist and tell the contractor about your move. You will need to get an authorization before you see a dentist.
The Active Duty Dental Care Program will work with you so you can get care from a local network dentist. For
dental emergencies, go to a military dental clinic if possible. If not, get care from any civilian network dentist
and have the dentist give you paperwork showing what he or she did during the visit. Make sure you get the
dentist's contact information and call the Active Duty Dental Care Program contractor immediately to let them
know about your care so they can work with you to make sure they can pay the claim.
If you are an active-duty service at an overseas location, you can call the overseas regional call center to get
authorization before you see a civilian dentist. If you are an active-duty family member within the United States,
in U.S. territories or at an overseas location, you can find out if any nearby military dental treatment facility
treats active-duty family members. If you're enrolled in the TRICARE Dental Program, call the TRICARE
Dental Program contractor or visit their website to find a provider. You will need to get an authorization before
you see the dentist.
Permanent Change Of Station For Active-Duty Service Members
With permanent change of station orders, ask for a copy of your medical and dental records from your
personnel office, providers/dentists, and medical or dental clinics. Do this at least one month before your
permanent change of station date. This way you may be able to carry records to your new duty station.
You may ask providers or the military clinic to transfer your family's medical records to the military hospital or
clinic nearest to your new duty station. You may ask to have copies of their records to carry with you or them
as well. (You may have to pay to get their records copied.) If you want someone else to be able to get medical
or dental information on you or your family while you are moving, you need to complete a DD Form 2870,
"Authorization for Disclosure of Medical or Dental Information."
Find more about moving, updating DEERS, the TRICARE regions, pharmacy, dental and much more through
the TRICARE website or the TRICARE Moving page.
Installation Specific Information
Installation Hospital
The Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) is located at 34800 Bob Wilson Drive, San Diego, CA.
NMCSD is the largest military medical facility in the world, providing medical and pharmacy services to active
duty, retirees, and Page 2 dependents. Emergency Room (ER) services are available at NMCSD 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. NMCSD quarterdeck number 619-532-6400 and patient relations number 619-532-6418.
NMCSD is a major teaching center and operates a network of clinics located at area military installations.
Through these clinics, emergency and ambulatory care is provided to the active duty populations of all San
Diego ship and shore commands. In addition, TRICARE outpatient clinics are located throughout the
community for military families.
San Diego is a large area comprised of many smaller communities. Various hospitals are spread throughout
the city; your nearest ER would depend upon your location. While many TRICARE beneficiaries pay no out-of
pocket costs for emergency room services, the average cost for an emergency room visit is 10 times more
than an urgent care visit. In many cases, using the emergency room is not necessary, and a patient's condition
can be treated through urgent care. TRICARE's explanation of urgent care and emergency care can help you
seek the most appropriate service. TRICARE defines an emergency as a medical, maternity or psychiatric

30
condition that would lead a "prudent layperson" (someone with average knowledge of health and medicine) to
believe that a serious medical condition exists; that the absence of immediate medical attention would result in
a threat to life, limb or sight; when a person has severe, painful symptoms requiring immediate attention to
relieve suffering; or when a person is at immediate risk to self or others.
Examples of emergencies include:
No pulse
Severe bleeding
Spinal cord or back injury
Chest pain
Severe eye injury
Broken bone
Inability to breathe
You do not need to call your primary care manager (PCM) or TRICARE before receiving emergency medical
care. However, in all emergency situations, you must notify your PCM (or TRICARE if you do not have an
assigned PCM) within 24 hours of or on the business day following admission to coordinate ongoing care and
to ensure you receive proper authorization. TRICARE defines urgent care as medically necessary treatment for
an illness or injury that would not result in further disability or death if not treated immediately but that requires
professional attention within 24 hours.
Examples of urgent care situations include:
Minor cuts
Migraine headache
Urinary tract infection
Sprain
Earache
Rising fever
In most cases, you can receive urgent care from your primary care manager (PCM) by making a same-day
appointment. However, if your PCM is unable to provide this care in a timely manner, you may be referred to a
network urgent care provider. It is important that you obtain a referral from your PCM before you receive urgent
care from anyone other than your PCM. If you do not coordinate urgent care with your PCM or TRICARE, the
care will be covered under the point-of-service option at greater out-of-pocket cost to you. If you are away from
home and cannot wait until you see your PCM for treatment, you must contact your PCM for a referral or call
TRICARE for assistance before receiving services.

New Parent Support Program
Navy New Parent Support Home Visitation Program
The New Parent Support Home Visitation Program is an early intervention service for families who are
expecting or have one or more children under the age of 4. The program is designed to meet the needs of
expectant active-duty military service members, their spouses and other dependents. It offers comprehensive
early intervention services that include maternal and infant health education, parent and child bonding
techniques, positive parenting practices, child development and child safety education. The New Parent
Support Home Visitation Program enhances a military family's quality of life by empowering them to meet the
challenges of parenthood while maintaining a military lifestyle.
Program Highlights
Home visitation delivers parent education and coaching in the intimate setting of the participants' home. The
Nurturing Parenting Program uses evidence-based curriculum to promote child safety, nurturing attitudes and
healthy parenting beliefs and practices.
Child development education helps parents establish healthy parenting practices through the understanding of
child developmental stages and milestones.
Father Outreach Initiative supports military fathers in enhancing their knowledge of healthy parenting practices
and strengthens father and child bonding during the deployment cycle.
Infant massage teaches parents to understand their babies' cues and learn new strategies to relieve their
babies' discomfort while strengthening parent and child bonding.
Parenting can be fun! Childhood is a special time of watching a young life grow, exploring and finding
excitement in many things. In this program, parents will experience fun, closeness and enjoyment in growing
together. A home visitor assesses each family, so sessions can be tailor-made to fit individual interests and
needs. Parents and their children receive a sequence of lessons and activities in home-based sessions. The
home visitor works with each family, promoting positive parent-child relationships, improving parental
knowledge and skills and fostering healthy child development. The program partners with other key community
services, such as community health agencies, hospitals, social workers and educators to provide a rich and
comprehensive resource base for families.
Home Visitors
The Navy New Parent Support Program home visitor team includes educators with experience in maternal and
infant child health, child development, OB-GYN, pediatrics or other public health professions. Home visitors
have a bachelor's or equivalent degree in education, nursing, social work, marriage and family therapist or
child and family related studies, and many have additional training. All home visitors, in accordance with
DODINST 1402.5 and PERS letter 1754 Ser 660/173, who have regular contact alone with children under 18,
undergo a criminal background check.
All home visitors have been trained to deliver the Nurturing Parenting Program. This program has been
empirically proven to help new parents learn positive and fun strategies that make families successful. The
author and creator of this program, Stephen Bavolek, Ph.D., has consulted with the Navy New Parent Support
Home Visitation Program to develop materials and information relevant to today's military family. Dr. Bavolek
personally teaches the Nurturing Parenting Program philosophy and program to Navy home visitors so they
can best serve military families.
Eligibility
Service members and their family members who are eligible to receive treatment in a military treatment facility

 Deployment Support
Family Deployment Support
CNRSW San Diego & Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) offer programs to heighten deployment
preparedness and support families and commands throughout each unique deployment cycle. The FFSC
Deployment Consultants offer Deployment Readiness Briefs and checklists to assist Sailors and families in
preparing for deployment.
For more information, visit the Deployment Support website or contact your nearest FFSC. You can reach the
FFSC at Naval Base San Diego at 619-556-7404 or the FFSC at Naval Base Coronado at 619-545-6071.
Deployment support programs are tailored to the needs of an individual command.
Ombudsman Program
Navy Family Ombudsmen are communication links, information and referral resources, and advocates for
command family members. Appointed by the Commanding Officer, Command Ombudsmen are volunteers and
spouses of service members within the command. As an official command representative, the Ombudsman is
a confidential point of contact for all family members connected to the command - including spouses, parents,
and extended family members.
The CNRSW FFSC Ombudsman Coordinator maintains a roster of all area Ombudsmen. Contact your nearest
FFSC to obtain the contact information for your Command Ombudsman.
IA/GSA and Family Support
Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center (ECRC) offers a hotline for active-duty and reserve families
experiencing an Individual Augmentee (IA) deployment. Contact ECRC at 877-364-4302. For local IA
resources call 619-556-7404. Find more information for IAs and family members at Navy Knowledge Online.

There are several organizations that offer services for spouses and children of deployed service members.
Military OneSource offers materials and consultations regarding dealing with preparing for deployment,
returning reservist, and issues from deployment. For children, Military OneSource offers videos designed to
help military families with children ages 3 to 18 cope with feelings, challenges, and concerns experienced
during various phases of deployment.

their families back home. The American Red Cross can also provide access to financial assistance and
counseling. Call 877-272-7337 or visit the Red Cross website for more information.
United Through Reading
The United Through Reading Program, a quality-of-life program for military families, helps keep service

sister, grandchild, or a child they are mentoring.
