I AM STILL UNDECIDED

We want you to stay with the agency, but understand that there are many factors to consider and that this is a very personal decision. We encourage you to make full use of the resources provided by DISA as you decide. The information below may be helpful:

 

• First, we’ll need you to complete the TOF survey to indicate your intentions (after you receive your TOF letter). This non-binding survey will be used to help the agency allocate funding and ensure appropriate manning levels as we approach the relocation. You may re-visit the TOF survey at any time to alter your responses.
• Sign up to receive BRAC e-mail alerts. Information relevant to your decision-making process will be sent to you as soon as it becomes available.
• Explore the possibility of commuting to Ft. Meade from your current residence:
  
  
  • Driving There
