Reporting as a Staff Member to NPTU

• If you desire house hunting leave and did not take it before transferring, you will need to report before the ‘no later than’ day in your orders. There will not be enough time available once you start the indoctrination process.
• There is no temporary lodging available while transitioning. If you need to stay in a hotel while awaiting arrival of household goods, you’ll need to make reservations via one of the local accommodations. During the horse racing season (July to early September), local hotels are normally booked, but rooms will be available in the Clifton Park and Glens Falls areas.
• NSA’s Housing Office (518-886-0200 x124) is an excellent resource for government housing and long-term or short-term rentals.

Sailors reporting to NPTU for Staff Duty shall report to NPTU Admin in the Uniform of the Day (Navy Working Uniform) between the hours of 8:30 am – 3:30 pm (M-F).
