SHOPPING CONSIDERATIONS
The Exchange and Commissary are still operating with slightly adjusted hours which can be viewed here. All patrons must wear face masks or coverings when shopping in these facilities. Also, due to high demand, the local Commissary has had to make some restrictions. In order to limit the number of people inside, there is a 100% ID check for anyone over 10 years old. Guests of beneficiaries (service members, retirees, dependants and veterans with registered VHIC card) will not be allowed to enter with patrons.
Also, in order to better serve military personnel, effective March 24 the commissary will be open for active military only from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Regular store hours for all beneficiaries will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday and Sunday; and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The store remains closed on Mondays.
Due to high demand, certain items may be restricted to a one or two items per customer. Please be advised of all signs and notices throughout the store.
OFFICIAL TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
Service members must stay up to date on travel and PCS requirements during the recommended social distancing phase of COVID-19. For PCS procedures, particularly in cases of moves OCONUS, service members must work closely with their chain of command in order to meet their orders to the best of their abilities while following all flight restrictions and delays. It's important to keep regular contact with both departing and gaining commands.
At this time, the Navy is opening up mission-essential travel again to specific locations and allowing service members to PCS or travel on orders as required. State requirements and individual hot zones will play a role in whether travel to and/or from specific location will be authorized. Due to location-based requirements it is important to be aware of the limitations of the area departing and arriving when travelling on orders.
