ADT Tripler

Hi all,

For those of you did ADT at Tripler, please help me:

1. Who did you report to on the first day (Sunday, after business hours)?
2. What was the dress code (e.g. ACU at all times vs. scrubs)?
3. Were you given a specific day-to-day schedule or just play by the ear?
4. How were you reimbursed for meals, lodging, etc? Specifically, were you reimbursed for the exact amount you claimed or the full per diem amount, for example, you spent and claimed $90 on $100 per diem max, were you reimbursed $90 or $100? From my experience from OBLC, they reimbursed the latter amount for uses for taxi.
5. Rent car, how were you reimbursed?

Any other tips to share?

Thanks a bunch!

👍👍👍

1: report to headquarters. they will start you doing some paperwork, get ID's made. this will take about half a day to do. the person in charge of the HPSP will contact you prior to your visit with more instructions but this is where you start. as far as sunday or after hours, they will most likely have you wait til the next day. I arrived on sunday but they didn't have me report til monday morning. You will meet the commander who is a Col, so be prepared, act appropriately and call him sir a lot.
2: wear your ACU's when you report and show up/leave for the day. make sure you wear it correctly because any and all soldiers will go out of their way to correct you if you are not and make you feel stupid. Calling out a 2LT for a minor infraction is probably the most fun an enlisted soldier can have. at the clinics you will change into scrubs.
3: mostly it was a set schedule, but if something comes up you will do that. I went to a couple graduations, one was on a USS Missouri next to the pearl harbor memorial. Just roll with it.
4: per diem for food and hotel was reimbursed for the full amount. Look up the rates for hotel and meals and don't spend over that amount and you can actually make money.
5: rental car was reimbursed for the amount paid, just make sure it is the government rate and the size they specify in your orders.
6: stay at the nicest place you can afford on your per diem, eat at the best places you can find ($93 goes a long way per day). I brought my golf clubs and played a round of golf at the clipper golf course at the marine corps base in kaneohe (its rated one of the top courses in the military). You can only make tee times about a week in advance so call when you get there. I went surfing all over the island, snorkeling and drove around the island 3-4 times. My wife and son came for part of it and had a blast living with me for free.
