Finally.

We finally have everything we need. As of Friday we still did not have our EFMP screening paperwork back. My husband was planning to check out on PCS leave on Tuesday! So I called EFMP in Hawaii and after checking, they told me that our packet had been approved on the 6th. I called on the 13th. Why had we not heard anything?!? So she suggested I call Hawaii Family Travel, so I did, they told me that they were still waiting for approval from Tripler. (EFMP) So I told her I just got off the phone with them and they said they had approved it on the 6th. She said she would get ahold of them and see what was up. I figured if today (Monday the 16th) we still did not have anything, I would call again. But lo and behold, it was there! So now we are waiting for amended orders so we can schedule travel and get this show on the road!!

Phone numbers that are useful!!

Hawaii area code is 808

EFMP in Hawaii at Tripler Medical is 808-433-4441 they are open from 8am-12pm and 1pm-4pm M-F. Remember, time zones! I am currently in Eastern time zone, so they are 6 hours behind me. Which means I can call them between 2pm and 10pm in North Carolina.

Hawaii Family Travel 808-655-1804
I am unsure of their office hours but assume it is similar to that of EFMP.

Please remember to be polite and respectful when you call. The women I spoke to were very nice and very helpful to me, but I also made sure I was very polite to them as I was asking for their help.
