I just PCS’d from Korea, which was my first duty station. How do I go about inprocessing at my new unit?

I’m on leave right now and my orders aren’t pinpoint. I probably seem like a noob right now, but I’m legitimately lost in the sauce. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Also my next unit is Fort Carson, so if anyone has any advice about the post or 4ID I’d like to know what to expect too)

You will report to the reception center no later than your report date, and up to 30 days prior with your leave form in hand. They will give you all additional directions from there.

PFC Foster, SFC Boyd hit it on the head! When you get to Fort Carson you will sign into the reception battalion. Your orders should have an address and reporting instructions. If not Google is a powerful tool! If you are flying into Colorado Springs, at the airport there is a fort Carson rep there at baggage claim that will help get you to the base. If you are driving you will need to go to gate #1, again use Google to get you there, the guys at gate #1 will be able to direct you to the reception building. As for Fort Carson, it's a nice base I have been here for 5 years. Once you report to the reception battalion you will in process, it will take about 5 days, at that point your gaining unit will pick you up and take you to your new unit. Colorado Springs is a nice city and there are lots of things to do and see. My advice to you is to make sure you acclimatise to the elevation before you go for a hike of do any major cardio. We are between 6 and 8k feet above sea level and it can be hard to breathe here. Good luck and if you need any help there are plenty of resources on Fort Carson as well as on here.

Thank you SSG! This helps a lot. Hopefully I acclimate pretty quick I’m really excited to go hiking, skiing, and canoeing. I’ve always wanted to go to Colorado, so I couldn’t be more excited that I got Fort Carson!

Everybody here is giving you good advice. The only thing I can add is that the Army is very good at telling you what to do. Just show up. They'll take it from there. Relax. You'll be in good hands.
