In 1997, the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Logistics) implemented a CNO Gold Disk Awards Program. This program was designed to encourage fleet personnel in the maritime community to develop gold disk test routines and repair circuit card assemblies and electronic modules. The resulting benefits have resulted in improved operational readiness of a wide range of C5I and HM&E systems in addition to significantly improved OPTAR cost avoidance. The award consists of a Letter of Commendation signed by Deputy CNO for Integration of Capabilities and Resources and a military cash award of up to five thousand dollars. 2. The cash award criteria is a graduated dollar value dependent upon cost avoidance thresholds. The award program not only rewards the top repair technician, but every technician that meets the following quarterly cost avoidance thresholds: $150k to $199k of cost avoidance yields a $2k award $200k to $249k of cost avoidance yields a $3k award $250k to $299k of cost avoidance yields a $4k award $300k and over of cost avoidance yields a $5k award 3. The CNO Gold Disk Awards Program is administered by the NAVSEA Miniature Microminiature Module Test and Repair (2M MTR) Program Manager. FLEET 2M MTR policy and responsibilities are contained in reference (a). Gold Disk awardees are selected by an awards board at NUWC DETACHMENT field engineering office in Norfolk. The selection is based on 2M repair metrics submitted in the module test and repair tracking system or verification of recently submitted Gold Disk test routines. 4.

ASMs and SSOs will ensure accurate DISS SMO files for all DON personnel in their respective DISS SMO subject lists through a comprehensive review of personnel records. An accurate DISS record verification indicates a verified need to know, a non-disclosure agreement signature date in DISS for each assigned record, valid (SCI and/or collateral) accesses recorded in DISS, and appropriate SMO ownership by the sponsoring command ASM or SSO. c. ASMs and SSOs will provide a report of compliance to the Navy Cognizant Security Authority (CSA)/SSO Navy at ssonavyhq_scipolicy@us.navy.mil. The report must include: (1) SMO code.

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced that eligible Veterans, active-duty Service members, and surviving spouses who use the VA-guaranteed home loan benefit can pay for certain real estate buyer-broker fees when purchasing a home. This will help ensure that Veterans remain competitive and are not disadvantaged on the homebuying market due to changes that may result from a key class-action settlement involving the National Association of REALTORS®, which is slated to take effect later this summer. Until today, Veterans could not pay their buyer-broker fees when using their home loans benefits.
