QUANTICO, Va. — The U.S. Naval Community College officially began accepting applications for its Associate of Science in Logistics (Maritime) degree program Tuesday, May 9. USNCC worked with Arizona State University to provide a naval-relevant degree program focused on those who work in supply and logistics for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. “We’re excited to further the lifelong learning process of the naval logistics community,” said USNCC’s President Randi R. Cosentino, Ed.D. “These Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen will develop a set of skills and earn credentials that set them up for success for the rest of their lives.”

After decades of military service, retired Navy Cmdr. Stephanie Murdock went to check her retiree pay statement in early April and was shocked to find that she was going to be receiving $1,118 less each month. The cut troubled Murdock, but perhaps not as much as the lack of explanation from the Navy or the Defense Finance Accounting Service, which processes military and retiree pay based on information provided by the services.

USS FITZGERALD (DDG-62), written by GM2 Austin Canterbury. c. USS FARRAGUT (DDG-99), written by QM3 Anthony Bentley. 2. The winning poems and author biographies can be found at https://www.history.navy.mil/research/archives/resources-for-the-fleet/deck-logs/new-years-contest/2022.html 3. The focus of the New Year's Day Deck Log contest is to celebrate the voices of our Sailors and to preserve a Navy tradition. A deck log is the official record maintained by all commissioned U.S. Navy vessels. While regulations normally restrict the types of entries in logbooks, the Navy has long held the tradition of the Midnight New Year's Poem. The first entry of the New Year, written in verse, allows Sailors to express their creativity about the experiences of shipboard life and their pride in their command. The contest also serves to remind the Fleet of the importance of the deck log as a historical document; one that preserves for future generations the actions and voices of our United States Sailors. 4.

This NAVADMIN announces Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) companies operating Public-Private Venture (PPV) military housing on or near Navy installations are permitted to require refundable pet deposits. 2. In alignment with standard industry practice and other military Services, our privatized housing partners now have the option of requiring refundable pet deposits from active duty military tenants who sign a new universal lease. This option aligns with current pet deposit requirements from other authorized tenants of PPV military family housing; such as, affiliated and unaffiliated civilians. This NAVADMIN does not apply to active duty military tenants living in government-owned and controlled military family housing on Navy installations; most of which is located overseas. 3. The implementation of a refundable pet deposit is at the discretion of the individual PPV military family housing partner and may vary across locations. Pet deposits may not be retroactively applied to existing leases. 4. The maximum pet deposit is $250.00 per pet, up to $500.00 per household. Pet deposits are fully refundable, subject to pet-specific damages that may occur during the term of the tenants lease. Military family housing partners will be expected to identify pet damage charges separately from standard move-out damage charges when providing detailed damage amounts to tenants. The refundable pet deposit cannot be applied toward non-pet damages. In accordance with applicable laws, pet deposits will not be required for service or assistance animals. 5. For questions concerning refundable pet deposits, contact your local Navy Housing Service Center (HSC). Contact information for all Navy HSCs is available on the Commander, Navy Installations Command website at https://ffr.cnic.navy.mil/Navy-Housing/Contact-Navy-Housing/. 6. Released by Mr. Andrew S.

HONOLULU (AP) — An investigation found that a spill of about 1,300 gallons of fire suppressant at a fuel facility in Hawaii was caused by a maintenance contractor improperly installing an air vacuum valve, U.S. military officials said Friday. Aqueous Film Forming Foam, which is used to suppress fires caused by flammable liquids, contain PFAS, a class of chemicals that are slow to degrade in the environment.

A retired Navy officer said he saw a metallic orb in Afghanistan that's similar to the one shown in a video during last month's Senate hearing, but there's no secure way for him to come forward.

Facing a relentless tide of illegally parking scofflaws, Naval Base San Diego officials have in recent months beefed up the penalties that sailors, civilians and contractors face for parking where they shouldn’t. At the same time, base leaders acknowledge the lack of parking space along the waterfront on the installation, which is cleaved in half by Interstate 5, and say they are working to figure out better solutions.
