Check-In Procedures

Checking into U.S. NMRTC Guantanamo Bay may be completed by reporting during normal working hours (0730-1600, M-F) to U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay, Bldg. H1.  Uniform for check-in is service dress whites for enlisted members and summer whites for officers, as appropriate. To contact the quarterdeck, call 757-458-2998.  
 

Medical Services

Newly reporting personnel must update their DEERS and Tricare enrollment for themselves and their families.  DEERS updates may be completed at the ID Card office in Bulkeley Hall.  Tricare enrollment updates can be completed at the hospital with our Tricare representative.  Upon enrollment, you will be assigned a Primary Care Manager (PCM). 

Physical Readiness

The Commander is a staunch advocate of the Navy’s Physical Readiness Testing and Weight Standards Program. The announcement for the semi-annual PRT will take place 10-12 weeks before the actual PRT date, which is scheduled twice annually. Anyone failing any portion of the test will be placed on a remedial program until the a passing score has been achieved.  Gained personnel are expected to arrive in standards and will need to complete the PFA upon check, if not already completed prior to transfer from your previous command. Remember, physical fitness should not be just a twice a year event, but a lifestyle.  For further information, contact the command CFL.

Weather 

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay experiences a warm climate with an average of 300 or more day of sunshine annually. Daily temperatures range from the mid-80s to 90s and lows rarely dropping below the upper 60s. During the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, the installation remains vigilant and prepared for tropical weather systems. The consistent warmth, frequent sunshine and coastal winds make Guantanamo Bay an environment where mission readiness, training, recreation and community life continue throughout the year.
