RENTAL CAR AUTHORIZATION
Naval Hospital Bremerton is located 10 miles from Government berthing and there is no shuttle transportation provided. Therefore, a rental car is highly recommended. A request for authorization should be requested through your Reserve Center if not authorized on your original orders. If necessary your Center may contact our office for confirmation of requirements for a rental car.
Rental car reimbursement will not be made until you file your supplemental claim after completion of your Annual Training.
*NOTE: Please report to the Pass & ID building at 0730 for vehicle processing. For POV drivers, please have your personal auto insurance card, vehicle registration and a current driver’s license ready for your initial entry through the Naval Hospital Bremerton main gate. For rental car drivers, please have the rental agreement contract and vehicle license number for the personnel at the Pass & ID building. A temporary parking pass will then be issued to you for the remainder of your stay. This pass will let you gain access to the local military bases.
**NOTE: For those personnel, who are traveling together, contact the OSO prior to requesting rental cars. Personnel may be required to work different shifts, or work in different locations.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRAVEL ENTITLEMENTS
Mileage: If you elect to commute daily from your local residence to the Naval Hospital or Branch Medical Clinic, you will not be entitled to mileage reimbursement. If you elect to drive your personal vehicle vice utilizing Government Travel Rate (GTR) you will be reimbursed no more than the current amount of GTR.
Per Diem: Per Diem is money provided by the government to specifically reimburse the member for living expenses while on orders when government quarters are not available. If you do not incur expenses you will not receive Per Diem. That is, if you choose to stay with friends or relatives in the local geographical area, you will not be reimbursed for lodging. The Per Diem maximum rate is determined by area and you will not be reimbursed for amounts in excess of the limit established for the area. Currently, the per diem maximum rate for meals is $38.00 and $61.00 for lodging. These figures are subject to change.
Per Diem for food:
No Per Diem is authorized unless you are berthing in non-military lodging. This is a change since FY97 for Officers who are staying in government quarters.
Original Paid Receipts:
You MUST provide original receipts for all travel and berthing expenses that are over $75.00.
NOTE: Falsifying receipts and altering travel claims for personal profit is an offense punishable by the UCMJ.
