Naval Air Station Sigonella Indoctrination is an introduction to the base, its facilities and the services available to you and your family.

*INDOC class is 2 working days and begins at 0800 (please arrive NLT 0750). Keep in mind that American and Italian holidays can affect the schedule.
INDOC is scheduled in conjunction with the Intercultural Relations (ICR) Program, hosted by the Fleet and Family Support Center.
