200505-N-WB795-1054 GREAT LAKES, Ill. (May 5, 2020) Rear Adm. Jamie Sands, commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC) and NSTC Command Master Chief Jimmy Hailey III, speak to Sailors from Recruit Training Command (RTC) at an off-base facility used for a restriction of moment (ROM) for recruits prior to entering boot camp. RTC is conducting the initial 14-day ROM in an off-site facility, which provides rooms with a small number of recruits, reducing the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus amongst them should any individual be infected. More than 35,000 recruits train annually from the Navy's only boot camp. (U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Brandie Nix/Released)
