to lodge in a pay barracks at a rate of $56 per night. There is no need for you to call the NGIS to
make reservations, as the school knows you are coming.
BE ADVISED: If the front desk for the Navy Gateway Inn and Suites is closed when you arrive,
contact the CDO at 207-837-1736
SERE rooms sleep between two and four students with assigned lockable lockers and the
barracks features the following amenities: Alarm clock, phone, refrigerators, microwave,
toaster, coffee maker, television, tables, chairs, couches, vending machines, and laundry rooms.
BE ADVISED: SERE School does not provide bathing towels; therefore, students should bring at
least one bathing towel.
DINING FACILITIES AND AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES
BE ADVISED: There are no dining facilities available at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. If you arrive
at night, plan to eat before you get on the base.
The availability of automated teller machines on base are very limited. The Commissary and
Navy Exchange are located next to SERE school; however, they are both closed on Sundays and
federal holidays. Be advised operating hours are limited and may change to seasonal hours
(Store hours will be posted at the SERE schoolhouse and NGIS). There are limited food trucks
available during regular working hours. A list of local restaurants and food vendors is in the
student’s barracks check-in folder, posted in the barracks lounge, NGIS Front Desk and at SERE
School. Currently, no companies deliver on base. This changes from time to time but ask vendor
if they can deliver prior to placing order!
GRADUATION AND DEPARTURE
IMPORTANT: DO NOT schedule your departure flight for no earlier than 1900 for graduation
day.
Graduation Friday is a busy day of debriefs! It is unlikely that you will be able to get to Boston
for an earlier departure on graduation Friday. A Saturday departure is authorized, but rooms
shall be vacated no later than 0700 on Saturday.
STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING THEIR ROOMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POSTED
PROCEDURES.
