BaseCompass

Your PCS Move, Simplified.

BaseCompass exists because military families deserve one reliable place to research their next duty station — not 47 browser tabs. We gather everything you need to know about every U.S. Air Force base into a single, organized, constantly-updated resource so you can make informed decisions about where to live, learn, work, and thrive before, during, and after your PCS.

Our Story

Every PCS season, thousands of Air Force families start from scratch: scrolling through years-old Reddit threads, digging through base Facebook groups, cross-referencing school ratings on one site and housing reviews on another. The information is out there — but it's scattered, outdated, and exhausting to assemble. BaseCompass brings it all together in one place: housing quality, neighborhood safety, school ratings, gate wait times, internet providers, on-base amenities, leadership climate, job openings for spouses, and local recreation — organized base by base so you spend less time searching and more time planning your move.

Why Trust BaseCompass?

Built specifically for the military PCS experience.

1

Built exclusively for Air Force and Space Force families — every base profile is structured around what a PCS-ing service member actually needs to know, from BAH rates to spouse employment to the best gate to use during rush hour.

2

Comprehensive coverage across all 80+ CONUS and OCONUS Air Force, Space Force, and joint bases — from Altus to Yokota, we're building a profile for every installation where airmen serve.

3

Continuously updated with input from the military community — base profiles evolve as new units arrive, housing markets shift, and families on the ground share what's really happening.

“BaseCompass is built for military families by people who understand the chaos of a PCS — because we've lived it, and we believe you shouldn't have to figure out your new home from scratch every time.”
