Before you can make an appointment, you must electronically complete the in-processing checklist and email the completed form to: 355WG.CVB.WC@US.AF.MIL 

Once the in-processing checklist is completed and submitted, your gaining unit's representative will schedule an appointment that will be within 72 business hours of your arrival on station. This appointment will be before house hunting days or leave is taken.

First Term Airman (Davis-Monthan is your first duty station) are required to be accompanied to their in-processing appointment by their supervisor or sponsor.
