For students reporting to MSTCLANT, it is recommended to book lodging early through the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites – Naval Station Norfolk. If you are issued a Certificate of Non-Availability to stay in town and your intermediate stop in Norfolk is 31 days or more, you are subject to the 75% rule in the JTR Chapter 4 TDY Part B 4250 A and B (1-7).  To clarify, you will only be receiving the 75% flat rate; you will NOT receive the other 25% until liquidation of your travel claim.
