After you receive your orders, and before you report to your new command, be proactive, and find the address of the command. Send a handwritten, personal letter of introduction to the Commanding Officer, a “Here I come” letter. The letter should mention that you feel good about being assigned to this Command (or if you service-selected it), and how excited you are about the future, that you have been in touch with the Command sponsor, when you will be arriving, what you have to offer, etc. COs are usually impressed you thought to be proactive.
