PAO Notes May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014 Armed Forces Olympics Postponed to June 13 Due to multiple conflicting events taking place this Friday, May 16, NSA Naples is postponing the Armed Forces Olympics at Carney Park to Friday, June 13. The Armed Forces Olympics should be a fun event that all military personnel can enjoy and participate without other required commitments. We apologize for the inconvenience and short-notice, but this relief will allow for greater participation and a more enjoyable event for all. Additionally, due to the change, all post offices will now be open May 16. For more information, call DSN 626-6489 or 081-568-2141.

Notification of Mail Return As has been announced for several months, all personnel should have been changing their mailing addresses to the new Zip+4 construct, which is a USPS requirement. The deadline for this change was April 15. Starting July 1, mail not utilizing the Zip+4 construct will be returned to sender. Please contact your mail orderly if you have not received your new address or have had any trouble changing your address so we can ensure no vital mail is returned.

Now - June 30: Limited Veterinary Treatment Facility Availability In the European theater, Remote Online Veterinary Record (ROVR) system training and implementation is scheduled until June 30, during which time VTF operations at the NSA Naples VTF will be reduced significantly to allow for integration of the new system.

After implementation of the ROVR system, veterinary patient records will be capable of being electronically transferred to all military locations, and will allow for standardization of prices and practices throughout all military locations.
