Traveling from INCONUS: No ROM no matter vaccinated status Traveling from OCONUS: Please follow CDC Guidelines
The following is for students traveling OCONUS who are required to ROM (per the CDC Guidelines):
Students do not need to complete multiple ROM periods if they are taking multiple/sequential JTS courses.
After arrival and check-in to your lodging, students will report arrival and beginning ROM by calling the JTS Yeoman on the next duty day. Weekend calls are not necessary. The number is (757) 492-0277. After the student has reported his/her ROM status to JTS staff, daily check-in calls are not necessary.
When in ROM, students shall avoid congregate settings, limit close contact with people and pets or other animals to the greatest extent possible, avoid traveling, self-monitor, and seek immediate medical care if symptoms (e.g., cough or shortness of breath) develop.
Students in ROM may exit quarters to access laundry facilities, outdoor exercise, designated smoking areas; and conduct other essential tasks not in a public setting provided they maintain social distancing greater than 6 feet (2 meters) from others. Access to messing facilities, stores, fitness centers and other widely used support services is prohibited.
For temporary military lodging such as the Navy Inn, normal room cleaning services will be suspended during the ROM period.
Should personnel in ROM test positive for COVID -19, the person is now considered in isolation and should further restrict movement, exiting quarters to execute only absolutely essential tasks. THOSE WHO ELECT TO WEAR FACEMASKS MUST BRING THEIR OWN
