USE THE LINK ABOVE *\nDon’t Just Move. Land.\nThe Tactical Operation to Get Your Family Situated in Hampton Roads.\nTHE PROBLEM\nThe “Fog of War” in Transition.\nMoving to a new duty station or transitioning to civilian life is a multi-front battle. You aren’t just looking for a job. You are fighting to secure childcare\, decipher school districts\, understand housing markets\, and navigate complex benefits—all while trying to physically move your household. The Stakes: Without a plan\, you risk “transition drift”—isolation\, gaps in care\, and missed opportunities. Navigating this ecosystem alone is overwhelming.\nTHE GUIDE\nWe Are Your “Baseplate.”\nYou don’t have to figure this out alone. MISSION: START & STAY is the “Intel Map” you need to navigate Hampton Roads.\nWe have assembled a coalition of “Fixers” and “Strategists” from JEB LC Command\, DOL VETS\, Childcare Aware\, and School Liaison Officers to cut through the red tape. We even handle the logistics—our Stroller Valet service ensures you can focus on the mission while your little ones are safe.\nTHE PLAN (YOUR AGENDA)\nWe have organized the chaos into a clear\, tactical operation.\nPHASE 1: GEAR UP (09:30) Check-In & Passport Issue Arrive at Drexler Manor. Drop the stroller with our Valet team. Receive your “Intel Map” (Summit Passport).

The Panel: A “Real Talk” session moderated by the HRVEC Director featuring experts on schools\, healthcare\, and transition success stories.\nSUCCESS (THE OUTCOME)\n13:30 | MISSION COMPLETE The Result: You leave with a finalized resume\, a school plan\, a professional headshot\, and a local support network. The Reward: Completed passports earn a VETTED T-Shirt. The Next Step: You are now fully briefed and “Cleared” for Day Two: The Hiring Event.\nGet Situated. Get Ready.
