According to CBS News and PEOPLE, Nelson was “super excited” to get back to his life after his time at sea. The sailor, who had been away in the Middle East, took an Uber home from the airport and allegedly immediately noticed that his 1997 Toyota 4Runner was missing from its parking spot. He initially assumed it might have been towed. “And then I go to unlock my front door and it just pushes right open,” Nelson claimed. -

A new study drawn from survey data of nearly 16,000 sailors shows which jobs and ship classes report the best sleep and which have the most fatigue. It also appears to prove the value and impact of napping — a practice one researcher calls “micro-dosing” necessary crew rest.

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Navy released updated guidance and resources for Sailors, civilian employees and families displaced by operations in Bahrain, to support transitioning from Safe Haven lodging to longer-term housing.t To secure appropriate entitlements, military families must select a designated location for resettlement by Nov. 30. Impacted personnel will continue to receive Safe Haven allowances at the current rate until Oct.11. Beginning Oct. 12, the allowance decreases to 75% and will continue through Nov. 30. Declarations should be made to Salesforce via mailto:askmncc@us.navy.mil. Once a family selects and occupies their permanent home, Safe Haven per diem ends and the service member will then receive Basic Allowance for Housing based on the ZIP code of the family's new home. The Navy will also pay authorized travel and moving expenses for dependents and two family pets. Navy Personal Property and Housing offices will coordinate the packing and shipment of household goods and personal vehicles from Naval Support Activity Bahrain to families’ new homes. Family members generally cannot return to Bahrain to pack their belongings. However, service members are authorized to oversee pack-outs. U.S. Central Command and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command may approve temporary return travel for adult family members on a case-by-case basis, when the security environment allows. Civilians staying in commercial lodging may receive a Special Transitional Separate Maintenance Allowance for up to 90 days and $25 per day for transportation, effective Aug. 27. Civilians who must maintain two homes may be eligible for an Involuntary Separate Maintenance Allowance. Sailors, Civilians and their families should reach out to their chain of command or local Emergency Family Assistance Center for personalized support. Virtual EFAC Europe may be contacted at https://www.navylifeeurafcent.com/installations/nsf-ramstein/efac and virtual EFAC Naval District Washington may be contacted at https://www.navyregionmwrndw.com/efac. More generalized support is available 24/7 at MyNavy Career Center at (833) 330-6622(MNCC) or askmncc@us.navy.mil. Sailors who remain in Bahrain on Permanent Change of Station Orders may receive COLA-Unique, a special Cost of Living Allowance designed to help cover the difference between local rent and their new housing allowance. Sailors should contact their command for assistance. For Sailors re-locating to or from Bahrain on PCS orders, the Personal Property Activity is available to assist, email mailto:PCSCallCenter@mail.mil, or call 833-MIL-MOVE. Operation Epic Fury has also affected Cycle 272 enlisted advancement exams. Commands unable to conduct exams on schedule because of combat operations, evacuations or increased force protection measures received an extension. As a result, fall advancement results may be delayed to allow exams from affected areas to be processed. The extension does not apply fleet-wide, and commands that can safely test on schedule must do so. The Navy continues to provide the latest information to impacted Department of Navy personnel through a variety of resources including updates to command and installation leadership, EFACs, and NAVCENT-hosted town halls.
