International Student Reporting

We hope your visit to U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown (TCYorktown) is both enjoyable and productive. The following information package was prepared to assist you during your stay at Yorktown. It includes information specific and unique to International Students, as well as information summarized from other pertinent sections of the TCYorktown web site (especially the Base Services and Support area). It is not all inclusive, but should help you with many of your initial questions. Please download the complete reporting information package .

Location

TCYorktown  is located in Virginia's historic triangle made up of the communities of Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. It is approximately 180 miles south of Washington, DC and 30 miles north of Norfolk, VA. Check out the Directions page if you are searching for directions.

Arrival Information

There are two airports which serve the southeastern Virginia area. The closest, and the preferred airport to the Training Center, is the Newport News/Williamsburg Airport (PHF) located approximately 12 miles from TCYorktown. The alternate airport, Norfolk International (ORF) , is located approximately 35 miles from the base.

Newport News/Williamsburg Airport

We recommend arrival at the Newport News/Williamsburg Airport because of its convenient location to TCYorktown. If you arrive during duty hours (0800-1600), and we have advanced notification of your arrival, we will make every effort to pick you up. If for reasons beyond our control we are unable to meet you, please take an airport taxi (approximately $20.00) to TCYorktown. Taxis are located at the front entrance of the airport. The taxi drivers are familiar with the base and location of the different barracks (Enlisted members E-6 and below will go to Lafayette Hall and Officers/Chiefs - E7/Civilians to Cain Hall).

If you arrive after duty hours and we receive an arrival message requesting that you be met at the airport, the duty driver or Coast Guard representative will be sent to the airport to meet you. Should your flight be delayed or changed, it is strongly recommended that you contact the (IMSO) at (757) 856-2458/2696 or, after 1700 eastern standard time, the Officer of the Day (OOD) at (757) 856-2354. Please advise the OOD of your new travel itinerary and arrival time.

Norfolk International Airport

Students arriving at the Norfolk International Airport will be met if advance arrival information is received. If your flight has been delayed or changed, contact the International Military Student Office (IMSO) at (757) 856-2458/2696 or, after 1700 eastern standard time, the Officer of the Day (OOD) at (757)856-2354. Please advise the OOD of your new travel itinerary and arrival time. If we are unable to meet you at the airport you should take the Norfolk Airport Express (757) 857-3991 directly to the base. The shuttle service is located on the first floor of the airport in the ground transportation area. The cost is approximately $30.00. Taxis are approx. $75. Please get a receipt so that we can reimburse you if it is authorized to do so.
