The civilian luggage room is used to store excess amounts of personal hygiene items, medication, civilian clothes and personal items (e.g., cameras, MP3 and CD players, radios and laptop computers unless squadron CC deems a more appropriate location for these items) as well as any items too large to fit in your security drawer.
Maintain a complete inventory list for all high-value personal belongings on a piece of paper. Record the make, model, serial numbers and a physical description of these items and store this inventory in your security drawer.
DO NOT lock up the following items in your civilian luggage as they may be used during processing appointments:
- Civilian eyeglasses, contact lenses with case and prescription
- Driver’s license
- Social Security Number (SSN) card
- Marriage license
- Dependent’s birth records
- JROTC, ROTC or Civil Air Patrol certificates
- Naturalization papers
- United States Permanent Residence Card (also known as the “Green Card”)
- Enlistment contract
- College transcripts
- All other important paperwork
Attach a properly completed luggage tag (image below) to each piece of luggage and to any loose item(s) you are storing. Use a blue or black pen to fill out the tag.
NEATLY print your information in the appropriate areas; do not use punctuation.
- On the first line print your LAST NAME – FIRST NAME – MIDDLE INITIAL. After your middle initial, include JR, SR, II, III, etc., if applicable.
- On the second line, print your laundry mark, (e.g. B1234).

- For one piece of luggage – Print “1 of 1” on the tag.
- For two pieces of luggage – Print “1 of 2” on the first tag and “2 of 2” on the second tag.
