Where do I report upon arriving at Fort Rucker?
Upon arriving at Fort Rucker, your very first task is to report in. Unfortunately, most people’s orders don’t specify where. They just say, “Report to Fort Rucker, 0800 hrs, date. If you are arriving at Fort Rucker for flight school, you need to report to building 5911, the 1-145 AVN Battalion Headquarters. You need to go up to the second floor to the battalion Student Management Office (SMO). Be sure to bring 7-8 copies of your orders with you, and they will guide you through the rest of the process from there.
