</div>
<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql"><div dir="auto">ROM has been at one of several hotels in the area, including Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark.</div>
<div dir="auto">Beginning 21 August 2020 ROM moves to Fort McCoy, an Army Reserve base in Wisconsin almost 3 1/2 hours from RTC for most or the Drill Hall at RTC for 1400 recruits.</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruit Training Command Begins Recruit Restriction of Movement at Fort McCoy (17 August 2020)</div>
<div dir="auto">There are trailers with showers for the recruits housed in the Drill Hall. There are partitions in the Drill Hall to help to divide up the recruits.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">The following will still be in effect from what has been made public.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Drug testing, Urine Analysis, is now at MEPS rather than after arrival as prior to ROM.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits are paid from the time they check in at MEPS on the way to Great Lakes. This has not changed. Recruits fill out direct deposit paperwork while in ROM.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits arrive at the ROM location straight from the airport, bus station, or local MEPS.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">When the recruits arrive at the airport they practice social distancing. While waiting on the bus the recruits stand in a line (six feet apart) and tell the RDCs some information like clothes size and where they came from. The recruits are transported by bus to the ROM location.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">When the recruits arrive at the ROM location they are sorted into groups depending on where they came from. They are designated as high, medium, or low risk of corona virus based on the number of cases in the area they arrived from.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">They pack up their things in boxes and are issued Seabags with the basics. Some of the things they have include 2 sets of PT clothes, sweats and sweater, shower shoes, the ditty bag, hygiene kit and other kits, Blue Jacket Manual, and Recruit Training Guide. Recruits keep their civilian shoes during ROM.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Reveille is at 6 am and Taps is at 10 pm.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits are given time to clean and study. The RDCs teach by speaking to a small group at a time while maintaining social distance and all have masks on at all times.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">A catering company provides a hot breakfast and dinner, and sub (or other cold sandwich or wrap) for lunch. Examples of meals include: pancakes, waffles, or French toast for breakfast; a sub sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, or cold wrap for lunch; and chicken, pork chop or burger (one recruit even mentioned steak for one meal) and rice or potatoes or a pasta dish for dinner. All meals include some sort of vegetable and/or fruit and Capri Sun and a granola bar or cookie. Most recruits indicate the food is good, just not very generous.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Laundry is put in a bag with the recruit's name on it and collected and returned later washed. (Some have mentioned wearing the same sweats all 14 days without them being washed.)</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">In the hotels, there are two to three recruits to a room. Recruits sleep in a bunk bed for two. The third recruit uses the only big bed. (That may be different depending on which hotel a recruit is placed in, but there are no more than three recruits in any room.) At Fort McCoy and RTC Drill Hall the recruits sleep in bunk beds.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">At the hotels recruits can watch TV. They just have to be off during academic study. There are no televisions at Fort McCoy or at RTC.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits can speak with the person or person in their room and with those in the room across the hall from them, but they cannot leave their room. They can take one step outside the room for instruction time and wellness checks. Similar restrictions are in place at the other ROM locations.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits are given iPads to learn basic training material.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits in ROM can't do official PT and the RDC's can't IT recruits since they have not been medically cleared. There is a sheet of approved exercises. It’s up to the recruits to get their workout in if they want to. Some do; some don't.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits will be able to make one call from Fort McCoy. Recruits will not make any other calls while in ROM. If a recruit calls during this time, it is due to being moved due to a fever or other issue.</div>
<div dir="auto">-</div>
<div dir="auto">Recruits are able to write while in ROM, but they are not able to mail those letters until after they complete P-days and have had their first holiday routine.</div>
<div dir="auto">---</div>
<div dir="auto">The form letter now arrives around 10 to 14 business days AFTER ROM.</div>

<p>Do NOT count on calls- you are entitled to TWO calls...."I'm here" and "I'm a sailor". In general you'll get a call around week 3 or 4 that is more or less a "I'm still alive" call. You may receive more. Calls are earned and calls are lost as a division and are at the discretion of the RDC's. Yeah- it takes awhile to get the mail system sorted out for a new division and the mail officer trained and up to speed. </p>

I am part of a Facebook group as well regarding Navy info, specifically RTC and PIR. I am very confused as to some people's reference to week numbers. Many seem to refer to the first week as P days, which they are, then calling the week after that Week 1 stating that that is the first week they are in training. The info presented on this site, specifically the text that explains what happens each week, numbers the weeks from ship date which is how I think of them. This is a big deal, because if…

The info presented on this site, specifically the text that explains what happens each week, numbers the weeks from ship date which is how I think of them. This is a big deal, because if I'm told I'll probably be getting letters and a call at the end of the third week, I expect them three weeks from ship date. On another topic, I was told that not only won't I get my SR's letters until after the third week, but he won't get any of mine until then either.
