Finding Storage Units During Your TDY to Little Rock Air Force Base: A Guide for Crashpad Guests Who Need More Space

If you’re headed TDY to Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB) for the schoolhouse, chances are you’ve already lined up one of the many Little Rock crashpads that cater to military personnel. These military crashpads are an excellent way to enjoy comfort, space, and amenities far beyond what you’d find in a standard hotel. But what happens when you arrive with more personal belongings than your crashpad can hold?

Whether you’re a C-130 pilot hauling your things or a loadmaster who likes to bring a piece of home with you, figuring out storage solutions near base can make your TDY smoother. Here’s a quick guide to help you navigate local options for storage units while staying in a Little Rock crash pad.

1. Assess What You Really Need

First, take a quick inventory of what you’re bringing. Are you PCS-ing soon after your TDY and just need temporary space? Or do you only need to store a few off-season items like winter gear or outdoor equipment? CAVU Crashpads comes fully furnished, so you can save space by not bringing extras like cookware or linens.

2. Storage Unit Locations Near LRAFB

Luckily, there are several storage facilities within a 10-minute drive of base. Look for units in Jacksonville, AR (the town LRAFB is located in), or in nearby Sherwood or Cabot. Many offer military discounts, climate-controlled units, and month-to-month flexibility—perfect for TDY needs.

3. Consider What You Might Share

If you’re TDY with a few others you know and staying in a multi-room Little Rock crashpad, consider sharing a unit to cut costs. Be sure to communicate clearly and label your items!

With a little planning and local insight, you’ll be able to settle in, focus on your mission, and enjoy your time at LRAFB without the clutter.
