TPU Duties
TPU processes over 3,800 transient Sailors annually and manages the barracks that house them.  We are a 24/7 operation. There are many types of duties you can be assigned to.  Once you check aboard, your background will be assessed along with command requirements to find you the best job.  We also have a proactive assignment rotation policy; so, throughout your tour you will most likely get to assume several different positions.
