Principal Travel/Orders.

Travel orders for principals in USMC commands will be “Individual Directed,” created and funded by the individual’s command.  The use of government messing is not directed as it would adversely affect the performance of the mission.  Attendees are authorized to vary their itinerary as necessary. 

SPD will fund travel and M&IE for attendees assigned to non-USMC commands. Please contact Mr. Kowski at randy.kowski@usmc.mil for Line-of-Accounting information and travel/funding inquiries.

SPD will provide charter bus transportation from the Pentagon to the hotel in Norfolk, VA.

SPD will provide transportation (bus or passenger van) from the hotel to all official meetings and spouse events, and official social events.

SPD will provide charter bus transportation from the hotel in Norfolk, VA back to the Pentagon after the EOS concludes.

Transportation is not provided to or from airports or train stations.

If rental cars are used by commands, both hotels being considered have parking garages (with a daily parking fee ranging from $13-$20). Parking is available at each meeting location aboard the two naval bases at no cost.

SPD will reserve a room block at the Norfolk hotel (after final selection).  Please do not contact the hotel directly.  If there are any special requirements for your room please annotate accordingly when registering via email. If any suite upgrades are available they will be assigned by seniority.
