Reporting as a Student to NPTU

You should receive an area familiarization brief from an NPTU staff member prior to graduating from Nuclear Power School. It is important that you have finalized a place to stay and received house hold goods prior to starting the indoctrination process. Once you start training, there will be very limited opportunity in the first couple of weeks to resolve issues.

  • If you desire house hunting leave and did not take it before transferring, you will need to report before the 'not later than' day in your orders. There will not be enough time available once you start the indoctrination process.
  • There are no Bachelors (BEQ) or temporary lodging available on Joint Base Charleston, so you will be required to either live in Navy Housing or out in town.
