Please keep your sponsor advised of your leave address, travel plans and anticipated arrival date.

Reporting Aboard
When arriving at San Diego, report in the uniform of the day to NTAG Southwest located in Building 17 on the Point Loma Anti-Submarine Warfare Base. All newly reporting personnel (regardless of your ultimate duty assignment [UDA]) must begin check in at the Admin Office at headquarters. If you are reporting for recruiting duty, the Chief Recruiter (CR) will determine your UDA.
DO NOT procure housing until you have received your UDA from the CR. NTAG Southwest has more than 40 recruiting stations across Southern California, Southern Nevada and in Yuma, Arizona, and you may not end up in the greater San Diego Area. Please contact the CR with any questions at 619-524-4168.
Government Leased Housing
To allow for a smooth transition, requests for Government Leased Housing (GLH) should be submitted prior to your reporting onboard. The entire application process can be completed online by clicking here.
Family Readiness
NRD San Diego's Ombudsman
Selected by the commanding officer, your Ombudsman is a spouse of a member of the command who voluntarily serves as an official liaison between the command and its families. As a spouse, it's important to get acquainted with your local Ombudsman. The Ombudsman is not a counselor or a social worker, but can show you the direct route toward finding solutions by helping you get the assistance you need.
To contact your Ombudsman, call... 619-405-9866 (Calif.) or 702-882-3457 (Nev./Ariz.).
