In most cases, you will be assigned a room in an area of the UEQ set aside for the personnel who work in your unit. This is to promote camaraderie among squadron members. If a room is not available near other members of your unit, you may be assigned a temporary room until one with your unit becomes available.
Planning Your Move
Prior to travel, arrange to meet your sponsor or someone from your unit upon arrival at Vance.
If you arrive on a business day during normal duty hours, have your sponsor escort you to the UEQ Management Office. The UEQ manager will take you through the process of checking you into your room, performing a move-in inspection and an inventory of the furnishings and supplies in your room.
If you arrive on the weekend or after normal duty hours, have your sponsor make reservations for you. You will be able to process in at the Cherokee Inn. Please make sure your sponsor has the key to ensure accommodations for the night. You must still report to the UEQ Management Office the next duty day for in-processing. This is a mandatory requirement even though you have your room key.
