TRANSIENT DEPARTMENT CHECK IN STATEMENT
Welcome to the TPU. We are located in Bldg 3142, Brunton Hall, San Diego Naval Base, 32nd Street, "Dryside". We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and have an outstanding staff to take care of you while you are in a transient status.
The Front Desk will get information from you including a valid recall number and a copy of your military orders. Orders must be endorsed in order to account for time spent at TPU. If you do not reside out in town, a room will be assigned. The following working day you will be required to be within grooming standards and in the Uniform of the Day, Navy Working Uniform, to attend command indoctrination class, which will explain your duties and responsibilities while attached to TPU.
Our mission is to move you to your ultimate place of duty as quickly as possible!
You will be assigned to a workcenter during your stay at TPU. Work assignments range from various activities within TPU to the Regional Commander's Building in downtown San Diego.
San Diego has trolley access outside the "Wet" and "Dry" sides of the base for those of you who do not have a vehicle. We want you to enjoy your stay while at TPU, wherever your destination may be.
