Navy and Marine Corps families stationed at NBSD and NAS North Island sometimes live in Hillcrest, North Park, or downtown high-rises during shore-tour assignments. We handle the JPPSO paperwork directly, COI filing on high-rise buildings 48 hours ahead, and elevator-pad reservations in 2-hour blocks.
