NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

NCACS provides efficient service, streamlined information

By Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer Shorter wait times at Naval District Washington's (NDW) perimeter checkpoints are good news for everyone; Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) has improved efficiency, particularly at the Washington Navy Yard's Pass and I.D. office.

While improving security is one benefit of NCACS, another tangible goal is to improve productivity at installations' Pass and I.D. offices. The system streamlines enrollment, inspection, approving credentials and, in "near real-time," electronically validating credentials.

"The contractors don't get held up at the gate; it is wonderful," said Daryl Colter, head of the Pass and I.D. office at the Washington Navy Yard.

This rapidity is key to some of the success enjoyed by NCACS. For participants and guards, since a simple and quick scan is what's required by the system, time that might have been previously wasted on repeatedly check-

The RapidGate kiosks, used by contractors enrolling in NCACS, collect a variety of information for use in background checks. After that process is completed, an approved contractor is issued credentials that provide access to an installation.

March is National Nutrition Month

By Leigh Houck, Health Educator, Branch Health Clinic, Washington Navy Yard Since 1980, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) has been encouraging Americans to return to the basics of healthy eating during National Nutrition Month.

This year’s theme, “Get Your Plate in Shape”, encourages everyone to ensure that they are eating the recommended amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy each day.

How do you know what the recommended amounts are? In June 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture launched MyPlate (www.choosemyplate.gov), replacing the iconic food pyramid. The plate is divided into four sections – fruits and vegetables (half the plate), grains (about one quarter of the plate), proteins (a little less than a quarter of the

ing papers and license plates has been reduced significantly.

"TechnologyinsertionsuchasNCACSallows us to leverage on technology to provide quicker access and save manpower manually checking on personnel who need access to the installation,"saidBrianKelm,deputycommandingofficer for Naval Support Activity Annapolis (NSA Annapolis). "It saves personnel costs and increases the efficiency of the operation."

In order to obtain installation access through NCACS a vender or contractor can visit any Pass and I.D. office and input required data into an NCACS kiosk. Once the information is entered into the system and the government office receiving the service verifies the request as legitimate, the contractor or vendor's company is billed for the background check.

After all funds are received, a background check is conducted and, with a clear record, credentials are issued.

With these credentials in hand, contractors

Woman's History Month: Physician of Presidents

By Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer If one's a doctor and the President of the United States is their patient, there's bound to be a lot of pressure.

However, Adm. Eleanor "Connie" Mariano (ret.) was up to the challenge as the first woman Physician to the President from 1993 to 2001.

Mariano was born in 1955 at former Naval Station Sangley Point, roughly eight miles southwest of Manila, Philippines, as a daughter of a steward in the Navy. Her family moved to the United States two years later. After graduating from high school as valedictorian in 1973, she attended Revelle College at University of California, San Diego, where she matriculated with cum laude

honors.

"I came to the White House by way of the kitchen," Mariano said to an audience in 2001. "I came from a family of Navy stewards."

Mariano then joined the Navy in 1977 where she attended the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences on the campus of the former National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and received a medical degree in 1981. After her internship, Mariano was assigned to the USS Prairie (AD 15) and served as physician to her complement of over five-hundred Sailors.

Following other appointments including as Head of Internal Medicine at the Naval Hospital in San Diego, she

Navy adopts domino strategy on how to drink responsibly From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (NADAP) Office launched the "Domino Strategy on How to Drink Responsibly" campaign, officials said Feb. 29.

"This social marketing campaign encourages Sailors to pay attention to the size, content and amount of alcohol they consume each time they drink," said Dorice Favorite, director, Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention. "The strategy recommends that Sailors follow responsible drinking guidelines defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."

Those guidelines advocate a 0-1-2 approach: Zero drinks for people who are under 21, operating any type of vehicle, pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding, recovering alcoholics or chemically dependent, and using certain medications. No more than one standard drink per day for women and no more than two standard drinks per day for men.

The campaign is designed to help people who drink alcohol, reduce their risk of harming themselves or others. The strategy provides specific information that enables people to compare their individual drinking pattern against a clear set of low-risk guidelines. The Domino Strategy does not replace current prevention programs; it adds depth to already existing

count?", helping Sailors make the connection between counting drinks and reducing personal risk. The second and third phase educate Sailors on what constitutes a "standard drink" and encourages Sailors to pay attention to the content of their drink by asking "How big is it?" and "What's inside?"

"We're not telling people not to drink if they are of age to drink but we want them to drink responsibly. Substance abuse reduces a command's ability to accomplish its mission and is inconsistent with Navy core values," said Favorite.

Alcohol and drug abuse can seriously damage an individual's physical and mental health, jeopardize their safety and the safety of others, can lead to criminal prosecution, and can result in unfavorable separation from naval service.

The campaign will include posters, outdoor banners, table tents, pamphlets, and TV/Radio public service announcements. All materials are available at no cost to all Navy commands for ordering through the Navy Logistics Library. Supply personnel may order them via https://nll1.ahf .nmci.navy.mil (for NMCI computers) or http://www.navsup.navy.mil/navsup (if NMCI is not available).

NCACS Continued from 1 and vendors who require access but do not qualify for a Common Access Card (CAC) are able to quickly and safely access a base. Handheld scanners used at perimeter checkpoints are wirelessly connected to a database at the guardhouse, which then verifies the credentials as authentic and current.

"Traffic is improved; it's just a scan of the credential and a 'Go' or 'No Go' appears on the handheld screen," said Robert Russell, with NDW's Operations Department.

With over 2,000 employees enrolled in NCACS at theWashington NavyYard alone, it is clear how the system can cut down on traffic. If these contractors do not use the system, they would be required to obtain a one-day pass each and every time they access the facility, increasing the workload on Pass and I.D. office workers and bypassing the background check.

"It has cut down on the numbers and it has made things run just a little bit smoother," said Colter.

NCACS has also streamlined the movement of vital information and records from all levels of command at installations throughout the region. The new system allows for printouts regarding the enrollment, background, and status of contractor companies and employees in the program, which then can be used to brief administration on base.

"Eight months ago, I couldn’t tell you how many companies I had," said Colter. "Right now I've got 248, and [the commanding officer] is getting briefed‌ We have answers for our CO." With any new system, however, there comes an adjustment and acclimation period. According to Colter, the occasional growing pains of getting used to NCACS have proved valuable to the implementation of the program at other facilities, such as Naval Support Facility Carderock.

NUTRITION Continued from 1 plate), and dairy (about one cup per meal, depending on your age).

The theme, “Get Your Plate in Shape” takes this basic information a step further by providing consumers creative ways to include the food groups in meal planning and to make every meal healthful and enjoyable.

Some suggestions for busy diners on the run are: • Replacing the chips or fries with a side salad, fruit, or baked potato.

• At the salad bar, pile on the dark leafy greens, carrots, peppers, and other fresh vegetables and go easy on the mayonnaisebased salads and high-fat toppings.

HISTORY Continued from 1 was nominated to the post of White House Physician, in 1992. She served in that office for nearly a decade, longer than any other presidential physician and treated three sitting presidents. She was nominated for appointment to rear admiral (Lower Half) in May 2000.

"Throughout my entire presidency, Connie was at my side making sure I stayed healthy," said former PresidentWilliam Jefferson Clinton, from Mariano's website.

• Eat your lower calorie food first (soup or salad is a great choice) and then follow up with a lighter entrée.

• Load up your pizza with vegetable toppings. If you add meat, make it lean ham, Canadian bacon, chicken, or shrimp.

•When going to the buffet, fill up on salads and vegetables first, make no more than two trips, and use a smaller plate that holds less food.

• Split your order – share that large sandwich with a friend or take half home for another meal.

• Be wise about muffins, bagels, and biscuits. A jumbo can have more than twice the fat and calories of the regular size.

"She was with me during the happy and the sad times, as well as in the historic and private moments. I trusted her with my life and the lives of my family.”

Breaking the tradition of Navy stewards that her family before her had set, Connie Mariano is a clear addition to the proud tradition of women in the Navy. Although she now is retired and working in private practice, she doesn't forget where she came from.

"Although I knew my 'place' as a steward's daughter, I also believed that the 'place' I inherited was capable of honor and dignity," said Mariano.

Behind on IT Skills, HELP! Q: I am ashamed to admit this, but I don’t really know how to use a computer. I am a Vietnam Era vet with a Purple Heart who finds himself in the difficult economic position of having to work full time when I should be enjoying grandchildren. (Luckily I have them because they do my email for me!) USAJobs is a nightmare and I haven’t the first clue how to operate it. I am frankly too old to do a job which requires a lot of heavy lifting or physical work,so an‘office job’makes sense, but I can’t even get through the application. It seems like everyone has to know computers these days. I am too old to learn!

A:You are too old to learn? I don’t believe that!You may be surprised at how easily you will be able to pick up the basic skills you need not only to apply for a position, but to operate in an office environment. The basics are certainly achievable at any age. Take a look at your community bulletin board, Yellow Pages, library events calendar and visit your local vet center. I guarantee there will be plenty of resources from low to no cost which will allow you to learn MS Office skills like Outlook,Word, PowerPoint and Excel. And don’t be afraid to ask the grandkids to show you what they know (other than Facebook). They are your first (free!) resource for information.

But, if you really have a block and have determined that you don’t want any part of the IT generation, you still have options, less plentiful though they might be. Opportunities in retail may be an avenue to explore. If you have good phone etiquette and people skills, you might try your hand at reception. In some offices, receptionists set appointments (computer based again), but there are some jobs out there for individuals who simply greet and direct guests or clients. Childcare, housekeeping and some restaurant positions may also be avenues of interest.You don’t say what sort of work experience you have built your career on, but there could be opportunities for someone with a lot of organizational knowledge to mentor or consult.

Two DC major construction Sailors can link with assistance projects to affect Washington Navy Yard traffic patterns

By MC3 Andrea Perez, Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

NDW Public Affairs

Employees and visitors of theWashington NavyYard (WNY) accessing the base may experience increased traffic and delays to severalWNY gates and along M Street due to the ongoing 11th Street Bridge reconstruction and the DC Sewer Overflow project slated to start in the next few weeks. Employees and visitors are urged to watch for gate closure announcements and changing traffic patterns during the construction period.

The 11th Street Bridge reconstruction project, which began in December 2009, will be replacing the two existing bridges with three new bridges and improve the related interchanges. Expected to be completed by Fall 2013, the project will improve mobility by providing separate freeway and local traffic connections to both directions of DC 295, the Southeast-Southwest Freeway and local streets on both sides of the Anacostia River.

The new local bridge will be at grade and will allow increased access to and from theWNY N Street and O Street gates when the local 11th Street bridge opens at the end of 2012.

Later this month, construction at the O Street & 11th Street intersection will close the O Street gate to outgoing traffic for approximately three weeks. This is in support of the relocation of the 295 ramp on 11th Street from N Street to M Street, which is scheduled

to occur during Memorial Day weekend. After the relocation, traffic headed south on DC 295 will need to access the freeway from the new ramp entrance located at M Street & 11th Street.

The DC Water Clean Rivers Project – Combined Sewer Overflow Control Program is a federally mandated project that will bring the district into compliance with clean water regulations.

The DC Water project duration along M Street is approximately 15 months, starting June 2012 through August 2013. Four utility companies will conduct relocations of lines at the 9th Street & M Street intersection prior to DCWater work. This work is scheduled for April-May, 2012. Naval Support Activity Washington (NSA Washington) will likely close the 9th Street gate to vehicular traffic for approximately two weeks in late April or early May to expedite the construction schedule.

NSAWashington is working to coordinate the utility construction, as well as turnstile maintenance, to minimize duration of traffic impacts. Outside of the two-week gate closure, other construction may require reducing vehicle traffic to inbound or outbound only and limited movements in and out of the 9th Street gate.

WNY employees will be notified of

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Transition benefits available to Sailors affected by the Enlisted Retention Board (ERB) are proving to be a valuable resource, officials said Feb. 29.

"We know that the transition for Sailors and family members to civilian life may be challenging and we're committed to providing a full range of transition services and outreach," said Vice Adm. Scott R. Van Buskirk, chief of naval personnel. "Our goal is to have real touch points with our Sailors to provide important information in a personal manner that will help make their transition more successful and less stressful."

About a third of ERB separating Sailors have connected with the outplacement consulting firm of Challenger, Gray and Christmas, Inc. (CGC) since January. More than 1,300 Sailors have responded and enrolled via the CGC website and toll free number. Enrolled Sailors are receiving resume and interview preparation, customized job search and placement assistance to obtain civilian employment.

"Leadership must be proactive in ensuring their Sailors affected by the ERB are engaged with the outplacement firm. If ERB separating Sailors haven't been contacted by CGC, commanding officers and command master chiefs should help Sailors connect with this service as soon as possible," saidVan Buskirk.

While CGC is trying to contact all ERB Sailors, Sailors are encouraged to reach out to CGC by phone or email. They can be reached toll free at 1-800-971-4288 or emailed at CGCUSNavy@challengergray.com. Sailors who have been contacted by CGC and have a pass-

word for web access, can enroll at www.challengeressentials.com.

Other outreach includes the Navy's Career Transition Office (CTO), Shipmates to Workmates (SM2WM) hiring initiative, and Navy Personnel Command's fleet engagement team which have made the Fleet more aware of the many services and benefits available to assist in the transition process.

More than 90 percent of ERB separating Sailors have been successfully contacted by the CTO regarding reserve affiliation opportunities as well as application procedures. In three months, more than 300 ERB separating Sailors have received a Selected Reserve (SELRES) quota based.

Representatives from the NPC's fleet engagement team have visited Fleet concentration areas to meet directly with ERB affected Sailors, their families and leaders to discuss transition assistance matters and answer questions.

Transition assistance benefits for ERB affected Sailors include: * Mandatory transition assistance program (TAP) workshop attendance. * Mandatory 60 days in the continental United States prior to separation for those overseas. Commanding Officers (COs) may authorize a 60-day transition period to provide opportunity for full utilization of benefits and services (including any combination of normal duty time, liberty, temporary assigned duty (TDY), permissive TDY, and separation leave). * Flexibility of separation date based on operational tempo and Sailor's request. * Extended Navy base support services (child care, MWR, FFSC).

AFPAK Blog: On the Ground

Book review Reviewed by Cmdr.

Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN The Training Ground: Grant, Lee, Sherman and Davis in the Mexican War, 18461848 by Martin Dugard. Published by Little, Brown and Company, New York. 430 pages, 2008.

The Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland area is steeped in Civil War history; it is likely in your commute you have driven by one or more civil war landmarks. In addition, this year Americans observe the Lincoln Bicentennial, which has generated a renewed interest in the CivilWar. After reading a few books on the conflict, and its major personalities, you may wish to delve into the 1846 Mexican-American War. It was this conflict that many CivilWar military leaders on both sides served together as young officers; many would experience war for the first time. Martin Dugard, a New York Times bestselling author, has written a new book that looks at America’s war with Mexico, and dissects the impact it would have on such young U.S. Army officers as Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Robert E. Lee, and Colonel of Mississippi Volunteers Jefferson Davis. In two decades many of these personalities would fight on opposite ends of the CivilWar. The book begins with the tensions the United States would have with Mexico, and Texas.

Beginning in 1827, two Presidents would offer to buy Texas from Mexico, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson, both offers rejected. The book covers both sides of the tensions such as an 1835 secessionist rebellion in which Texans (then called Texians) attacked and drove away Mexican cavalry from the region; the rebellion which started with 140 grew to 2,000, and would culminate with Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna leading 6,000 to the Alamo. Of note, Santa Anna had a fondness for public executions and upon taking the Alamo in 1836 through overwhelming force, he would massacre its occupants while the Mexican Army band played a tune called, “Deguello.” Although not in the book, this music played by General Santa Anna meant to signify no quarter. It had its origins in Spain, who had borrowed it from the Arabs who had occupied Spain, who in turn had used a variation of the horn call during a siege. It was a form of psychological warfare and was an appeal for the enemy to surrender. The term “El Deguello” can mean no mercy, slit-throat, or beheading.

The book contains well written and short biographies of Ulysses S. Grant who rose to be Commander in Chief of Union Armies and America’s first three-star general since George Washington. At the time, Grant would be homesick, yearning for and writing copious letters to his new wife Julia Dent.

During the war Grant would distinguish himself as a logistician, and would come to understand warfare from a Mexican Army

also steeped in European military tradition.

Lieutenant T. J. Jackson, would serve as an Artillery Officer in the Mexican War; he would become General T. J. “Stonewall” Jackson, fighting for the Confederacy and would be Lee’s left hand. It was in Mexico Jackson first met Captain Robert E. Lee. Aside from the biographies, the author takes you into the sights, smells, and challenges of over a dozen battles and campaigns such as Resaca De Palma, Monterey, BuenaVista, a sea-borne landing atVeracruz that would lead to the capture of Mexico City in 1847. The war would cause some of its leaders to rise to prominent political office: General Zachary Taylor, who led the expedition to Mexico would become the 12th President of the United States, and Jefferson Davis, would command and fight bravely in the Battle of Buena Vista, being wounded in the process. Of note, Davis first wife was the daughter of Zachary Taylor, a marriage that lasted less than a year before she died. His heroic deeds propelled him to Governor of Mississippi,War Secretary, and United States Senator before resigning to become President of the Confederate States of America putting loyalty to Mississippi and state sovereignty before the preservation of the Union.

Those interested in America’s history, the CivilWar, Texas history, and Mexican-American relations will find this book a good read.

The United States would gain the western portion of the continent, and territories that would become the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, California, and part of Wyoming under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.

Aina Television, a station owned by the son of Gen. Dostum, was the recent beneficiary of the outreach. It led to setting up an interview with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman and inclusion with international media outlets in press conferences and dissemination of press releases. It is part of a larger effort to work with all media, sharing info equally, regardless of funding or political connections.

Editor's note: This is part two of a four part series. In the March 1 edition of the Waterline Lt. Cmdr. Josh Frey, an NDW AFPAK Hand public affairs officer, wrote on the newfound resurgence of the Afghan media, efforts to assist and guide its growth, and challenges faced in this endeavor.

My outreach group is currently working in this area to help improve the ability of media to report about International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operations and the Afghan government. By conducting regular outreach activities with media, government spokespersons and civil society groups, we have been able to start identifying problems and working to correct them.

For instance, we have learned that much of the efforts towards Afghan media, on the part of ISAF and the international community, are directed towards the Afghan media who have the largest audience. Much of this feedback was received from media outlets themselves. However, there are many other media outlets who communicate to specific audiences.

Aina television, according to a USAID survey, garners only 4% of television ratings. However, Aina has a large Uzbek following in Northern areas such as Balkh and Jowzjan provinces.

Another station, Tamadon, communicates specifically to Afghan Shiite audiences that are mostly Hazara. Tamadon, according to the USAID report brings in 7% of television ratings .

Because of their funding connection to Iran, however, their reporting often contains proIranian and anti-western undertones. There are other news outlets with Iranian funding that target the Afghan Shia and Hazara communities, such as Negah TV and Noorin TV. Both have relatively low ratings, compared to Tolo, Ariana and Shamshod TV. To these ethnic groups, which are also part of political parties that represent them, Tamadon and Aina hold credibility that the stations with the largest ratings (Tolo and Arianna) do not have. Tamadon is owned by Shiite cleric Sheikh Mohammad Asif Mohseni.

Because of the connection to Mohseni, a respective figure among Afghan Shiites who are mostly Hazara, the station holds credibility among this particular religious, ethnic and political demographic. As Seib suggests, “Many governments dismiss these types of media, especially Al Jazeera, because they are not objective providers of information and therefore presumably have little clout with their audiences.”

Zafar Shah Rouyee, news editor for Hasht-e Sohb newspaper in Kabul, says that Tamadon had sent his staff for a one-month training to Tehran, and many of the TV’s programs are similar in style to their counterparts from across the border. National holidays in Iran, for instance, are extensively covered. When the Iranian-Afghan joint cultural heritage was celebrated in Tehran in the summer, Tamadon TV reported it live. The speaker of the Iranian Parliament Ali Larijani used this opportunity to criticize the presence of the Western troops in Afghanistan.

There are several other news outlets that receive Iranian funding, such as Noorin, Raie-Fardo, and Negah that receive less viewership than Tamadon who also target the Afghan Shia Hazara.

However, as Seib writes, this is largely a viewpoint indicative of Western standards of journalistic objectivity. But in Afghanistan as in the middle-east, these types of media can be influential because, “they are credible; that’s what matters.”

Aina television is also owned by the son of the former Northern alliance Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, a figure that also holds credibility among the Uzbek ethnic/political party Jumbish-e-Mili. Thus, much of the programming of both stations can often reflect the political platforms of these two demographics and they freely admit it. These are two examples of a specific category of media that can be referred to as the political or ethnic media.

Zafar Shah Rouyee goes on to state that Turkey is also involved in the television market and has supported the establishment of Aina TV and Rah-e Farda TV. Like Dostum, Mohammad Muhaqiq was also a former commander during the Afghan civil war. Both are considered long time allies of Turkey.

NSWC Carderock opens ‘Green’ building

Military Moves:

Questions not frequently asked Shipping of Household Goods from overseas differs between using the Defense Personal Property Systems (DPS) or Direct Procurement Method (DPM). DPS moves Household Goods by the fastest means and directly to a known delivery address before the property is picked up at origin. DPM moves Household Goods through the Government Military Sealift Command (MSC). This mode is at a lower expense to the Government.

What does this mean to you?

There are two ways that the DPM is used for overseas shipments: 1.When the shipment is coming from overseas and going directly into a Non-Temporary Storage (NTS) facility for long term storage (1 year) due to retirement.

2.When there's no other way to ship the property from origin to destination except by using the DPM mode. Majority of these shipments are going to DPM contracts at destination.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division, officially opened a new green, environmentally responsible and resource-efficient, building in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 1. Capt. Heidemarie M. Stefanyshyn-Piper, Commander, NSWC Carderock Division, was joined by special guests, including Commanding Officer, Naval Support Activity Washington Cmdr. David Varner to cut the ceremonial ribbon dedicating the 35,682-square-foot, three-story building.

BENEFITS Continued from 5 * A time in service waiver to apply for funding towards commercial certification and/or licensure exams found through Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL). * Targeted outreach from the CTO, the Office of Civilian Human Resources (OCHR) Employment Information Center and the SM2WM program.

The SM2WM program is a federal service hiring initiative that actively assists ERB separating Sailors to learn about jobs at Navy partnering commands (CNIC, NAVAIR, NAVFAC, NAVSEA, NAVSUP, SPAWAR, and MSC).Their website offers Sailors a "one stop shop" for transition resources and information on applying for jobs and upcoming career forums' dates and locations, see http://jobs.navair.navy.mil/sm2wm/.

While open to all separating Sailors, SM2WM has achieved success in contacting all ERB separating Sailors. Since the release of the ERB results, nearly 900 Sailors have attended career forums hosted by SM2WM and the program's website has received over 14,000 hits since inception.

Navy's Office of Civilian Human Resources (OCHR) provides information through the Employment Information Center (EIC) regarding civilian career opportunities for all separating Sailors at: www.public.navy.mil/donhr/Employment/Vets/Pages/Default.aspx.

EIC assistance includes help with federal government employment application and hiring process, guidance on résumé preparation, assistance navigating the federal government job website www.usajobs.gov, education on recruitment principles and veteran's preference. For more information call 1-800-3784559 or email DONeic@navy.mil.

Another enhanced transition assistance benefit offered to Sailors is through Navy COOL. The Navy Credentialing Program has funded 73 examinations for 110 ERB-separating Sailors. More information can be found on the Navy COOL website, www.cool.navy.mil.

An on-line transition assistance handbook highlighting traditional benefits as well as ERB-specific benefits was published in November and can be found on the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) ERBWeb Page at www.npc.navy.mil/boards/ERB/.

It provides Sailors with a full list of benefits and services available to them, including useful websites, and information on counseling services, and the transition assistance management program (TAMP).

For more information contact the NPC customer service center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC (1-866-827-5672) or email cscmailbox@navy.mil.

Question: Can you as the customer file an inconvenience claim on both modes of transportation?

DPS: Yes, you can under the Full ReplacementValue (FRV). You can find information on FRV in "Move.Mil." DPM: No, the company accountable to this shipment is the US Government. This move is via Military Sealift Command (MSC).

This mode of shipping is not designed nor does it allow for the customer to file inconvenience claim.

NOTE: You must request release of your shipment out of DPM storage by calling the JPPSO-WA Call Center at (703) 806-0968 or visiting JPPSO-WA at 9325 Gunston Road 1466, Fort Belvoir,VA 22060.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, you can visit JPPSO-WA located at Bldg 1466, Gunston Road, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. hours daily except holidays, or call the JPPSO-WA Call Center at (703) 806-0968, or go to our website: http://www.belvoir.army.mil/jppsowa
