First Permanent Duty Station (PDS) Checklist
Congratulations and welcome aboard! You have completed your initial training and finally arrived to your new home at your first PDS. You are probably busy checking in to your new unit and exploring your new installation. You will attend the Personal Readiness Seminar (PRS) where you will discover the services available to you throughout your Marine Corps career. Just as you learned to orient a map during land navigation classes, you must also orient yourself in your new location. Work through the checklist below to ensure you start your Marine Corps career off on the right foot.
