nnsy memorial day events
Memorial Day, also known as Decoration Day, is a federal holiday in the U.S. focused on the remembering of those who died while serving in our country’s armed forces. This year Memorial Day will be observed May 28 and Norfolk Naval Shipyard will be participating in events in remembrance of those we’ve lost. • The Veteran Employee Readiness Group (VET-ERG) is partnering with the Portsmouth Chapter of the Navy Wives Club of America to place flags on the graves of fallen soldiers May 24 at 4:30 p.m. at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Cemetery in honor of Memorial Day. This event is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Please contact Doug DeLong at gary.d.delong@navy.mil or 396-2075 for more information. • The Veteran Employee Readiness Group (VET-ERG) will be hosting a Memorial Day Fall-In for Colors May 25 at the Bldg. 1500 flag pole beginning at 8 a.m. All those participating are asked to be at the flag pole no later than 7:45 a.m. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend. For more information regarding this event, please contact Tasha Beverly at 396-0557. • NNSY will be participating in the 134th Annual Memorial Day Parade in Portsmouth May 28 beginning at 10 a.m. Everyone is invited to attend and the VET-ERG is looking for volunteers to march alongside the USS Alabama float in the parade. A Portsmouth tradition since 1884, the Memorial Day Parade is one of the oldest parades in the country commemorating the holiday. The annual event salutes the service and sacrifice of the men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces. Enjoy floats, marching bands and lots of excitement. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and travels on High Street from Peninsula Avenue (at I.C. Norcom High School) to Crawford Street.

Windows 10 is coming!
Your computer will be upgraded to Windows 10 via one of the following: 1) Tech Refresh - (May 7th - June 30)
The seat refresh process involves replacing your current NGEN seat with a new NGEN seat. Code 109 will notify all users who are currently scheduled for tech refresh. 2) In-Place Upgrade (IPU) - (May 7th - June 30th) Windows 10 IPU pre-load packages are currently being pushed to NNSY seats via Radia. There are 38 packages in the full Preload. Once all packages have been installed your computer will be scheduled for upgrade. Two days before your scheduled upgrade you will see an icon appear on your desktop marked “Decrypt Now.” Do not push until further guidance is given. Double-click on the icon to start the decryption process. This runs in the background and you can continue working. Once this process starts, you cannot remove the workstation from government spaces until the upgrade and full re-encryption has occurred. DO NOT REBOOT YOUR WORKSTATION. The upgrade will begin at 5 p.m. local time on your scheduled date. The Windows 10 upgrade takes approximately 16-20 hours. On your upgrade day, DO NOT LOG OFF YOUR COMPUTER. At the end of the day pull out your CAC and leave your computer logged in. If the upgrade has not completed within 24 hours, call the NMCI Helpdesk and state that you have a Windows 10 IPU issue. When the upgrade process completes you will be presented with the Windows 10 welcome screen. Log in with your CAC as you normally would. If you are presented with an ID/Password dialog, click on the Smartcard (CAC) icon below it to log in with your CAC. The workstation will begin downloading all required patches and any additional software. After that, the re-encryption process will start. To check for completion, press the Windows key and type “Manage Bitlocker.” The application should show “C:Bitlocker On” once re-encryption is completed. DO NOT REMOVE THE COMPUTER FROM THE NETWORK FOR 48 HOURS TO ENSURE FULL RE-ENCRYPTION. 3) Manual IPU (May 7th - June 30th) Any seat that has not been tech refreshed and cannot accept the Windows 10 IPU push will require a manual wipe and reimage in order to upgrade to Windows 10. Therefore, if your IPU push has failed or has been idle for more than 48 hours please contact the NMCI helpdesk at 1-866-843-6624. **Prior to the date of your tech refresh or manual IPU please back up your data to your N: drive** Note: Sperry Safeguard Send is not compatible with Windows 10. More information about the Windows 10 IPU and data backup instructions can be found at: https://webcentral.nnsy.navy.mil/departments/c109/Windows 10/SitePages/Home.aspx

May is Mental Health Month. Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well-being, and mental illnesses are common and treatable. Those who are vulnerable to mental illnesses such as depression avoid seeking treatment due to lack of awareness of available resources, concerns of social stigma, and worries about confidentiality. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The Navy’s comprehensive Civilian Employee Assistance Program (DONCEAP) includes free work/life benefits and support for a variety of issues, including depression. Services are voluntary, confidential, and are offered to you and your family members as a no-cost benefit from the Department of the Navy. Confidential short-term counseling can be in person or via telephone, concerning family/relationships, emotional well-being and mental health, work issues, legal or financial management, and more. You can call 844-366-2327 and speak to a DONCEAP representative 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can also visit https://donceap.foh.psc. gov for more information.
