MEDICAL AND DENTAL
Students should arrive at NAVSCIATTS in good to excellent medical and dental health. The Command’s Medical Department will coordinate medical or dental treatment if necessary. Normally, students are only authorized routine medical care. Other medical and dental care will only be authorized under emergency circumstances. All students must have sufficient quantities of prescribed medications on hand to cover their training period.
PAY AND ALLOWANCES
Prior to departure from home country, arrangements should be made by the SCO for entitlements to be paid to students while at NAVSCIATTS. Students will receive a living allowance as specified in current directives and as authorized in their ITOs. This allowance will be disbursed in two payments. They will cash their U.S. government checks at Keesler Federal Credit Union located on-base.
It is important for students to remember that Keesler Federal Credit Union is used to cash checks only. This transaction is free. The bank is unable to provide the students regular banking services such as accounts, electronic transactions, loans, credit or debit cards, currency exchange, utility payments, cashing of foreign checks, etc.
It is imperative that during the first two weeks of training, students have sufficient funds in American dollars to cover basic and incidental expenditures.
MILITARY ID CARDS
Students will be issued a U.S. Military Identification Card upon arrival. This identification authorizes students the same military privileges as U.S. personnel, including entry to military facilities in the area and use of exchanges. Any student who loses an identification card should immediately report the lost card to the IMSO.
LEAVE AND LIBERTY
Students will not be granted leave while attending courses at NAVSCIATTS unless specifically authorized in their ITOs. Liberty is granted after normal working hours, and on weekends and holidays. Under no circumstances will students be authorized to travel outside the continental United States while assigned at NAVSCIATTS. Scheduled liberty buses will transport students regularly to local shopping malls, restaurants and other points of interest.
