Air Station Traverse City
"Guardians of the Great Lakes"
Welcome to Air Station Traverse City
|
Northern
Michigan is an area rich in natural beauty, cultural heritage and
close-knit communities. Agriculture and maritime activities are
especially important to the region, which contains the largest
freshwater reserve on earth. While a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, the area also has all modern amenities at close reach. As a member of the Air Station, you will play a role in maintaining safety and security on a waterway system that holds tremendous national significance |
| Traverse City has about 16,000 residents and is a popular resort location with no government quarters nearby. Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties form the broader region and are dotted with rural communities that together house roughly 100,000, including the 140 Air Station members. Housing costs can be high and availability varies with the season. |
| Understanding that military moves can be stressful events, Air Station Traverse City is dedicated in assisting new members to ensure their relocation goes as smooth as possible. Once orders are received electronically, the Administration Department will assign a sponsor, who is responsible for assisting new members with their transition. It is highly encouraged to keep your sponsor up-to-date on travel plans, progress, and personal contact information, so that you can be reached if needed. |
