FISC Norfolk Ocean Terminal Helps Test Load MV-22 Osprey
Naval Station, Norfolk - The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Norfolk’s (FISC) Ocean Terminal division assisted in conducting a load test on August 11 at Pier 7. The test was to determine the fea-sibility of transporting the V-22 Osprey aircraft aboard Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships. If successful, this option could offer a significantly lower cost op-tion than the current avenue, using LPD/LHA ships.
The MV-22, which costs $40.1 mil-lion, is the most flexible, capable and revolutionary combat troop transport air-craft in the world with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability. MSC sent the MV Cape Race as the test vessel. The MV Cape Race is one of the Mari-time Administration’s 31 Roll-on/Roll-
off (RO/RO) Reserve Force Ships as-signed to the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command Sealift Program Office and is maintained in a lay berth at Portsmouth, Virginia. Each RO/RO ship can carry about 300,000 square feet of equipment and vehicles at a sustained speed of 16-24 knots.
The MV CAPE RACE has a fixed stern ramp and cargo door that, techni-cally, should be more than wide and tall enough for the V-22. However, no one had ever actually loaded them and there were a number of concerns. Would the weight of the aircraft, at 33,140 lbs empty, be an issue? Would the V-22 actually clear the crest of the ramp and could a full squadron of 12 aircraft fit inside the vessel?

The Naval Air Systems Command fuels team is gearing up for biofuels flight tests in an F/A-18 Super Hornet at Patuxent River, Md., by next spring or summer, according to NAVAIR’s fuel expert.
Rick Kamin, Navy fuels lead, explained that before “biofueling" the plane, the team will first conduct laboratory and rig tests at Pax River, followed by static engine tests with the Super Hornet’s F414 engine on a test stand at the Lynn, Mass., facility of manufacturer General Electric. The static tests will take place probably in the December-January time frame,” Kamin said.
The NAVAIR fuels team is also getting ready to kick off a similar effort to test and certify biofuels for use on ships.
The upcoming tests are part of a larger effort to test and cer-tify promising biofuels in support of the Navy’s energy strategy to enhance energy security and environmental stewardship, in-cluding reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
“Our major goal is a drop-in replacement” for the Navy’s petroleum-based fuels, Kamin said. “The field won't know the difference.”
Fuels derived from plants are considered carbon neutral. Burning them doesn’t increase the net amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because the carbon they contain was origi-nally absorbed from the air as the plants grew.
NAVAIR has asked for 40,000 gallons of JP-5 jet fuel from bio-based feedstocks in a request for proposal (RFP) issued by the Defense Energy Support Center. Initial laboratory analyses and rig testing will consume 1,500 gallons; the static engine tests, 16,500 gallons; and the flight tests, 22,000 gallons. The feedstocks targeted are not used for food.
Kamin said fuels received from the JP-5 RFP may include those made from oils produced by plants such as camelina, jatro-pha and algae.
“We won't know for sure what we're going to get until the procurement process is completed,” he said. The contract sign-ing is expected to take place this month.
Camelina, also known as gold-of-pleasure or false flax, is in the same family as rapeseed, the source of canola oil. Often con-sidered a weed, camelina is cultivated today for the high quality oil its seeds produce, both for human consumption and conver-sion to biodiesel.
Jatropha is a tough woody plant that can grow in arid condi-tions unsuitable for most food crops. Its seeds produce oil that’s unfit for human consumption but can be converted to fuel.
Algae can be grown in vats or ponds under controlled condi-tions that maximize output and harvesting efficiency. Algae’s oil is produced within individual cells.
Oils harvested from the plants are refined into fuel with con-ventional petroleum refinery processes.
Two commercial biofuels that will not be tested are ethanol, now blended with gasoline, and biodiesel. Ethanol is unsafe for shipboard use because it ignites too easily, and its lower energy content would significantly reduce aircraft range.
The biodiesel sold commercially today consists of oxygen-containing compounds called esters. Although they burn well, esters absorb water too readily to be suitable for the Navy’s
maritime environment. For the upcoming static and flight tests, the biofuels will be
mixed in a 50-50 blend with conventional petroleum-derived jet fuel to provide the necessary specification properties. Biofuels are not as dense as conventional jet fuel, have less lubricating ability and contain no aromatic compounds, a group of chemical compounds able to penetrate the rubberlike materials that make up gaskets and seals.
“Aromatics are critical for seal swelling,” Kamin noted. “The easiest way to get these properties back in is with a blend with petroleum-based fuels.”
Kamin emphasized that the Navy will not be producing any biofuels itself. Fuel for all military services is purchased by the Defense Energy Support Center.
“We’re responsible for fuel specification requirements. Our main responsibility is to test and certify the alternative fuels for inclusion in our specifications,” he said.
The fuels team will initially apply three categories of stan-dard tests to the fuels received in response to the RFP: analytical chemistry – using instruments such as a mass spectrometer to determine chemical composition and structure, “wet chemistry” – determining the fuels’ response in specific chemical reactions and rig test properties such as water separation ability, to deter-mine how the fuels will react in aircraft and in conditions typical of Navy operating conditions, which include long-term storage.
“Storage stability is a unique military and Navy requirement not required in the commercial world,” Kamin noted.
“We're trying to certify by families, to come up with a spec for an approved class of feedstocks, such as oil shale, petroleum, hydrotreated renewable or coal,” he said. The specifications of each family will be determined initially through the full battery of chemical analysis, physical properties, static engine tests and flight tests.
The Navy plans to have test and certification completed on the most promising alternative fuel candidates no later than 2013, Kamin said. As each candidate is approved for use, it will be added to the Navy's JP-5 (aircraft) and F-76 (ship propulsion fuel) specifications. Once in the specification, the Defense En-ergy Support Center can buy the fuel to meet Navy requirements from the lowest-cost provider. Actual usage in the fleet will de-pend on industry production capability.

have successfully tackled the toughest, time-critical logistics and transporta-tion challenges and are truly deserving of this award."
Among its many accomplishments, the FISC Sigonella team was lauded for responding to short-fused contin-gency requirements to support com-bined, joint, bilateral and multilateral exercises such as Austere Challenge, Sea Breeze, African Lion, Eagle Re-solve, Eastern Maverick and Infinite Acclaim.
The team was also recognized for its support to five carrier strike groups, six amphibious ready groups and six surface strike groups comprised of almost 150 ships transiting through the Mediterranean and into the Persian Gulf to conduct combat operations.
Operating in some of the most challenging logistics environments with minimal manning, FISC Si-gonella and its detachments played a major role in supporting humanitarian and disaster relief missions in eight countries in West Central Africa for the APS, during the crisis between the Israeli and Hezbollah forces in the Levant and during the Russian-Georgian crisis in the Baltic Sea.
"FISC Sigonella has definitely leaned forward to improve transporta-tion and logistics in the U.S. European Command, U.S. African Command and the U.S. Central Command," said FISC Sigonella Commanding Officer Capt. John Camuso. "This award vali-dates all the hard work that is done on a daily basis by FISC [Sigonella] em-ployees."
The award will be presented at a ceremony in Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 21.

Once the ship arrived at Pier 7, preparations of the quay wall by FISC Norfolk’s Ocean Terminal stevedores allowed the ship to lower its roll-on/roll-off ramp to allow access to the ship’s storage area. The ship also had to ballast the ship down 3 feet so the ramp would align properly to the quay wall. In 100+ degree weather, the stevedores took great care in building the wooden approach to the ship’s loading ramp to prevent a low hanging radar done on the V-22 aircrafts from hitting the ramp. This was the first time a V-22 has been loaded on any cargo vessel and by ever measurement; this test was a resounding success.
On hand to conduct and witness the test were the V-22's crew, USMC personnel (headed by Lt Col Richard Sinese, USMC), CAPE RACE's crew (headed by Vessel Master Mr. Patrick Wright), aircraft handling personnel from Chamber's Field, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA), Naval Station Norfolk Security, Naval Station Norfolk Port Operations, Cargo Handling Battalion 11, and FISC Nor-folk’s Ocean Terminal personnel.
All preparation worked perfectly and Lieutenant General Richard F. Natonski, Commander for U.S. Marine Corps Forces Com-mand was on hand to congratulate everyone involved.

Today's economic and regulatory environment demands leaner and greener operations. Challenges arise as we strive to impart economic and environmental efficiencies into one of the most solid logistics supply chain streams around- the Depart-ment of Defense (DoD) petroleum supply chain.
One program that has been lean and green from as far back as the 1950's is the Craney Island oil recycling and re-use pro-gram. Located in Portsmouth, Virginia on picturesque Craney Island, Craney Island Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) is home to the largest fuel reclamation operation in the Department of Defense. Although the program has been in place for over 50 years, this is no static program. Over the past five years, Craney Island's thriving operation has enjoyed a 71% growth in sales of their premier reclaimed product- Fuel Oil, Reclaimed (FOR).
Greener
Environmental stewardship is an essential factor to take into account with every issue we deal with today. As we move ahead with greening our petroleum supply chain with innovative drop-in solutions such as biomass fuels, it is easy to lose sight of highly successful green processes which have long been in place.
By taking petroleum products destined for disposal and con-verting them into a usable product, Craney Island's oil recycling and re-use program reduces the waste stream significantly. Past analysis has shown the value of successful programs- such as the Craney Island oil recycling and reuse program. In a 1996 Envi-ronmental Protection Agency study involving a similar opera-tion, it was determined that by establishing a formal oil market-ing campaign, a Navy base could potentially reduce their indus-trial waste stream by 80,000 pounds.
Craney Island's regional fuel operation partners with various organizations to ensure environmental compliance. Environ-mental oversight is provided in concert between Naval Facilities (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic Regional Environmental and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Teamwork and coopera-tion are hallmarks of this combined effort to assure a clean envi-ronment for both today and into our future.
Leaner
Financial efficiencies are a direct result of the oil recycling and re-use program. In 2008, FOR sales of 1.7 million gallons generated a flow of 1.78 million dollars directly back into the Defense Logistics Agency working capital fund. These regener-ated dollars ultimately result in enhanced support for the war-fighter. Conversely, had this product been sold to commercial vendors for disposal vice bringing it back in the supply chain, DoD would have lost over one million dollars in potential reve-
nue. Many stakeholders are involved in, and benefit from this
program. For example, in 2008, approximately 1.6 million gal-
lons of recovered oil was recycled from regional Navy sites. As a result, NAVFAC Utilities used 1.7 million gallons of FOR, saving approximately $600,000 in oil purchasing costs. Recy-cling oily waste also results in an annual disposal cost avoidance of approximately $500,000. System maintenance costs of less than $25,000 per year make support a friendly efficiency rival to operations at Craney Island's Oil recycling and re-use program.
The Process
The Oil Recovery Program at Craney Island consists of the recycling and reuse of oily waste water and waste oil from ship and shore activities. A truly regional recycling process, used and off-specification petroleum products are brought into Craney Island from many different sources and locations in the Mid-Atlantic area. Oily Waste from ships is pumped from Naval Sta-tion Norfolk piers into the Public Works Center (PWC) oil re-covery system, where it joins other used petroleum products, including used automobile oil from vehicle maintenance shops into holding tanks. It is then pumped through a pipeline from Naval Station Norfolk to the PWC Water Treatment Plant at Craney Island, where the oil and water are separated.
Craney Island DFSP also receives oily waste and off-specification product from ships berthed pierside at Craney Is-land. Finally, a nominal amount of waste oil recovered from on-site remediation projects provides another input into the system. This multi-stream product is sampled and tested prior to being placed in a settling tank. Mr. William “Jack” Jackson, oversees

The Naval Supply Systems Com-mand has announced that Com-mander Pam Theorgood (FISC Nor-folk) has been selected by the FY 2010 Supply Corps Commander Sea Board. Commanders in promotion years groups 2006-2010 were consid-ered for selection under the Sea Board selection process.
This was the third Commander Sea Board under the revised Sea Board process outlined in July 2006 “Commander Sea Board Revision” FLASH. Only those officers who have completed their Joint Profes-sional Military Education (JPME) Phase I were eligible for considera-tion.
Those officers not immediately assigned to sea will be “banked” and enter a joint qualifying officer (JQO) development pipeline at their next available detailing opportunity. All officers selected will go to sea prior to screening for Captain.
The Commander Sea Duty assign-ment remains a crucial milestone in the growth and development of Sup-ply Corps’ senior leadership.

all FOR testing at FISC Norfolk’s fuel labs, and brings a wealth of experience to the process. “Since starting work at Craney Island in 1972, I have tested FOR at least 500-600 times,” Jackson states. “Not a drop of FOR is issued to our customers unless it meets every specification.”
As the product ages in the settling tank, water and other impurities drop out as a function of time and temperature (heat accelerates the process). The product is sam-pled and tested periodically until meeting the FOR specification. Once the product meets proper fuel specifications, it is stored in Craney Island storage tanks until pur-chased by a customer, such as PWC Utilities. The FOR is then transported to Naval Station Norfolk via one of Craney Island's organic YON fuel barges, where it is burned at a steam plant for power generation.
The Product
The FOR specification is approved for use by the Department of the Navy, and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the DoD. FOR is a product of a mixture of a variety of oils, and is subject to regulation by 40 CFR 266, Sub-part E. FOR can be used as a substitute for ASTM D 396 either directly or as a blend in sta-tionary fuel-burning furnaces for heating buildings, for the generation of steam, or other purposes.
Bottom line
Clearly, the Craney Island oil recycling program provides a viable, proven energy solution which saves taxpayer dollars while reducing impact on the environment. This unique program ultimately drives the goal which every program under the Naval Sup-ply Systems Command shares: enhanced delivery of logistics support to the Navy's operational forces.

Navy Facts SCUTTLEBUTT - Navy term for rumor. Comes from a combination of the word "scuttle" to make a hole in the ship's side, causing her to sink, and "butt", a cask used to hold drink-ing water. Scuttlebutt literally means a cask with a hole in it. Scuttle de-scribes what most rumors accomplish if not to the ship, at least to morale. Butt describes the water cask where men naturally congregated, and that's where most rumors get started.

Norfolk, Va. – Temperatures at Pier 7 of Naval Station Norfolk reached close to 90 degrees as the reserve Sailors from Navy Cargo Handling Battalion (NCHB) 11 of Jacksonville, Fla. assisted in guid-ing the Marine Corp. V-22 Osprey into the Military Sealift Command’s char-tered vessel, MV Cape Race.
The NCHB-11 personnel arrived in Norfolk about 10 days ago to participate in Operation Pacer Goose which is the annual resupply mission that benefits more than 1,100 military and civilians employed at Thule Air Base, Greenland. These supplies and fuel provide sustain-ment to the residents of Thule through-out the year.
The opportunity to load the V-22 Osprey demonstrated the versatility and skill of the reserve Sailors. Loading the aircraft on the Cape Race was the first of its kind evolution to evaluate the vessel’s roll-on/roll-off capabilities specific to the Osprey. The V-22 is a tilt-rotor aircraft that takes off and lands vertically.
The Fleet and Industrial Supply Cen-
ter (FISC) – Norfolk personnel coordi-nated with Lt. Douglas Turner, Training Officer, NCHB-11, to participate in sev-eral missions during their time in Nor-folk, one of which was to demonstrate the loading of the Osprey on the vessel. “This will help to streamline the process and adds flexibility and more options to shipping the Osprey where the Marines need it.”, Turner said.
According to Turner, “This prototype project with positive results will mean future missions may be offered to NCHBs for assistance and coordination. These aircraft are large and pricey, load-ing and shipping requires extra coordina-tion with outside entities.”
At each stage of the precarious proc-ess of loading the Osprey, Sailors were working closely with the FISC steve-dores and Marine Corp. flight crew per-
sonnel with fabrication and shoring an addition to the vessel’s ramp, as well as performing safety observer duties.
Mr. Crispin Toledo, Director, Ocean Terminal – Norfolk, has been working with the NCHBs for several years in operational and resupply missions. Toledo, a retired U.S. Navy Supply Corp. officer is very familiar with the
support that the NCHBs provide. “Every cargo handling battalion that comes through to help us, does a great job.”
NCHB – 11 is a component of NA-VELSG which is organized and staffed to deliver expeditionary logistics capa-bilities with mobilization ready Naval Reserve Force. The command supports more than 4,000 Naval Reservists lo-cated throughout the United States, en-compassing more than 90 percent of the U.S. Navy's Supply and Transportation Expeditionary Units and has trained and deployed more than 7,000 reservists in support of the global war on terrorism.

Moving. It’s an accepted fact of life if you are a Sailor or military family member. The moving process can be stressful. This is particularly true the first few times you move. The mili-tary has many rules, restrictions, and requirements that can be confusing. Worse yet, if you make a mistake it can end up cost-ing you money out of your paycheck. So, what are the most common mistakes and how can you avoid them?
Naval Supply Systems Command’s Navy Family Support Household Goods team members put their more than 100 years of experience together to develop these simple rules:
Exceeding the Maximum Weight Allowance Service members are limited to a set amount of weight based upon their military rank and dependent status. This limit is set in law by Congress. If a member exceeds his allowed weight, the Navy will pay the mover on behalf of the member, but will then initi-ate collection action from the member. “Navy auditors located in Norfolk, Va., review every move, so if someone should ex-ceed the authorized weight allowance, a bill will eventually come his way. Dispose of worn out and unnecessary items be-fore the move to avoid wasteful packing, moving, or storage expenses which increase the cost of the move. If you feel you are close to your authorized weight limit, request a re-weigh of the shipment prior to delivery at destination. The Government will pay on the lower of the two certified weights and subse-quently the member will be charged based on the lower weight,” said Kermit Horn, Navy Household Goods Traffic Management Specialist.
Committing Fraud It may sound harsh, but it is a fact of life that some people will always be tempted to try to beat the sys-tem. Navy Household Goods Audit Division audits 100 percent of all personally procured moves, according to Navy Household Goods Director Frank Piacine. “Cases of fraud detected by the audit team are reported to the Naval Criminal Investigation Ser-vice for action. People making honest claims have nothing to fear.”
Not Claiming Professional Books Paper and Equip-ment (Pro Gear) Every Sailor can claim Pro Gear each time he moves. This includes professional books and other gear re-quired in the performance of official duties. The weight of Pro Gear can be deducted from the total weight of your move, but many Sailors never claim it. If Pro Gear is not claimed during counseling, it cannot be claimed after the fact to reduce the weight of the shipment when a Sailor exceeds his or her maxi-mum entitlement. “Before the movers arrive make sure you separate Pro Gear from the rest of your property so these items may be packed, marked, and weighed separately (if small scale is available). If a scale is not available, the mover should ensure the carton size (cubic dimension) is noted on the inventory,” advises Navy Household Goods Traffic Management Specialist Warren Bennett. A recent change to the Joint Federal Travel Regulations added a small weight allowance for a member's
spouse's professional equipment. Effective Jan. 12, 2009, mili-tary members can claim up to 500 pounds of "Spousal Pro Gear" for such professions as doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc., but under no circumstance are items for re-sale allowed. "Before signing your inventory prepared by the mover, be sure all of these items are listed as ‘PBP&E or Pro Gear' and/or ‘Spouse Pro Gear’ and not simply as ‘books’ or ‘miscellaneous,’ Bennett added. For more on pro gear, members can go to mistake 9 and look under Professional Books Paper and Equipment.
Personally Procured Moves (PPM) Made Without Or-ders Sailors, particularly those thinking about retiring or sepa-rating, often decide to move their household too early. “The problem occurs when they do this before they actually receive orders that authorize a move,” said Navy Household Goods Traffic Management Specialist Paul Campbell. “A Letter of Intent to issue orders is not a legitimate document to conduct a PPM either, unless certain conditions are met and it contains a current valid Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Line of ac-counting. If in doubt or you would like more detailed informa-

tion, check it out with the local Personal Property Office before making any transportation commitments."
Failing to Update Your Non-Temporary Storage Ac-count “Active Duty Service members and retirees who place property into Non-Temporary Storage (long term storage in-lieu of shipping) often fail to keep the custodial Personal Property Office informed with respect to their contact information or cur-rent entitlement changes,” said Navy Household Goods Traffic Management Specialist Dan Wolfert. “As a general rule, the entitlement period for a separatee is 180 days from the active duty termination date. For retirees, it is one-year from the active duty termination date. For members serving overseas it is for the duration of the tour overseas plus 90 days. It is extremely important that the office that initiates and manages your storage is notified 90 days prior to the expiration of your storage entitle-ment of your desires for delivery. If you are serving a consecu-tive overseas tour, a copy of the new order must be faxed in with a cover letter to continue your storage entitlement under the au-thority of the new orders. If the Personal Property Shipping Office does not hear from you 45 days prior to expiration, offi-cials will attempt to contact you via certified mail. If they do not hear back by the expiration date of your entitlement, the ac-count will be converted to member's expense. Once it is con-verted to member's expense it is between the member and the commercial storage facility to ensure payments are made on time. If a member fails to keep current on his bill a 'Warehousemen's Lien’ can be placed upon your property. The next step is public auction of your property. Bottom Line: Know when your entitlement expires and stay in touch with the Personal Property Office,” Wolfert said.
Taking the Maximum Advance possible on a Person-ally Procured Move (aka "Do it Yourself" or DITY) You’ve decided to move yourself. The Joint Federal Travel
Regulation (JFTR) authorizes a 60 percent advance payment based on the total "estimated" weight to be shipped (not to ex-ceed the JFTR authorized weight limit). “It is tempting to pro-vide the household goods counselor an inflated weight figure so you will get a big check. Beware. The ‘estimated’ payment on the Form DD2278 (Application for Do-It-Yourself Move and Counseling Checklist) is based upon that ‘estimated’ weight. So, if you give a higher weight estimate than you actually move, you may very well end up owing money back,” Piacine said.
Not Understanding Full Replacement Value Insurance Customers can settle disputes over lost/destroyed household goods directly with the moving company for Full Replacement Value (FRV). “As a general rule, the Transportation Service Provider (TSP) will repair, or pay you for the repair of damaged items, or replace, or pay you for the replacement of items lost or destroyed beyond economical repair. FRV also covers your items placed in Storage-in-Transit (SIT) as well as Non-Temporary Storage (NTS). There are limits to the TSPs liability for loss or damage to personal property: In order to obtain FRV, claims must be filed directly with the TSP, not the Military Claims Offices (MCO),” said Navy Household Goods Traffic Management Specialist Richard McIntire. “FRV claims must be filed within nine months. If your claim is filed directly with the TSP within nine (9) months of delivery, the TSP’s liability on each household goods shipment is a minimum of $5,000 per shipment, or a maximum of $4.00 times either the net weight of the household goods shipment or the gross weight of the interna-tional unaccompanied baggage (IUB) shipment, in pounds, not to exceed $50,000. If you feel the value of your household goods will exceed this amount you should seriously consider obtaining additional insurance protection.” Obtaining and pay-ing for additional insurance protection is the member's responsi-bility. If a claim is filed directly with the TSP more than nine months after delivery, the TSP will only be liable for the depre-ciated value of the items up to a maximum of $1.25 times the net weight of the shipment, not to exceed $40,000.
Too Many Split Shipments Household goods can be shipped by Government Bill of Lading (GBL) (Navy pays a mover to move it end-to-end), by Personally Procured Move (PPM) or by local contract. Service members can choose to move part of their belongings themselves and have the Govern-ment arrange to have the rest moved. This is known as a split shipment. “A split shipment Permanent Change of Station move often results in the member incurring excess cost charges and owing the government money,” Campbell noted. “This can hap-pen even when the weight moved is below the member's author-ized weight allowance. Here's why: The cost to ship a partial shipment of household goods is higher because the mover is moving less. This cost is added to the cost of the PPM move to get a total. Under current regulations, the total cost of the two moves is compared to the cost to move the total weight in one lot at the lowest cost available to the Government between au-thorized locations. If lowest TSP cost is lower than the com-bined cost of the two moves, the Government must collect the difference from the member. Changes to the way the govern-ment's cost are calculated are being reviewed and may be changed in the near future. Until that change is made, members are advised to consider moving entirely by GBL or PPM in one

indebtedness.”
Not Following Rules for shipping Privately Owned Ve-hicle (POV) Campbell advised, “The shipment of a POV is not an ‘entitlement’ (as most people seem to think). The Joint Fed-eral Travel Regulations (JFTR) indicates this is a ‘Discretionary Allowance’ at the Service discretion. Another important fact is the shipment of POVs to OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) locations is predominantly controlled by the ‘Host Na-tion’ through Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA). These agreements can vary widely in requirements and restrictions. Host nations have been known to change requirements and re-strictions occasionally, which lead to confusion, delays and the potential for undue hardships to the service member. Such seemingly minor things as length of wheel base, color, scratches, dents year, make, model and fuel source (gasoline or diesel) are all reasons that could prevent a POV from being approved for entry into certain foreign OCONUS location.” As a general rule, shipment of POVs within CONUS (Continental United States) is not authorized. Few exceptions are available. "I strongly encourage early communication with someone at the 'gaining command' (via the Sponsor Program if possible) and the responsible outbound Transportation Office to minimize possi-ble difficulties regarding shipping POVs," Campbell said. More information on shipping POVs is available at: http://www.sddc.army.mil/sddc/Content/Pub/8808//dbcn8808.pdf
Shipping Too Much Of Your Household Goods to A Duty Station Service members frequently fail to do their homework on the size and type of quarters that will be available at a duty station. Many overseas duty locations provide ade-quate but small quarters. A fair number of stateside locations also provide smaller than average quarters. The end result is that the member finds himself with too little space for all their personal property. “Do your research before visiting the Per-sonal Property Shipping Office,” Wolfert said. “Speak to your
sponsor and individuals of similar grade and family status at your future duty station. Visit the base Web site, talk to the Housing Office about the size of on- and off-base housing. If you live off-base and can’t find or afford quarters large enough to accommodate all your property, you will be responsible for paying storage costs which can be very expensive.”
The Navy Household Goods Entitlement Help Line is a call center dedicated to answering questions Sailors and their fami-lies might have during the move process. The Navy Entitlement Help Line is 1-800-444-7789, COMM 757-443-1719, DSN 312-646-1719 or by email: [email protected]. Addition-ally, Sailors can contact their local Personal Property Office. "All Personal Property offices are 'purple' meaning they support all Branches of Service Members, so don't be reluctant to visit the PPO because it is run by Air Force, Army, Marines or the Coast Guard. “All offices are staffed by moving professionals who will get the answer if they can't provide it on the spot,” Pia-cine said.
“Sailors and their families are experts at ‘adapt and over-come’ to cope with life’s ups and downs. These tips should help them have fewer downs during their move,” Piacine added.
NAVSUP’s primary mission is to provide U.S. naval forces with quality supplies and services. With headquarters in Me-chanicsburg, Pa., and employing a diverse, worldwide workforce of more than 25,500 military and civilian personnel, NAVSUP oversees logistics programs in the areas of supply operations, conventional ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, and security assistance. In addition, NAVSUP is responsible for quality of life issues for our naval forces, including food service, postal services, Navy Exchanges, and movement of household goods.

The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) released an update in NAVADMIN 236/09 on permanent change of station (PCS) orders indicating that some Sailors set to move in the first quar-ter of fiscal year 2010 (FY10) will receive their orders after Oct. 1.
The recent supplemental funding from Congress allowed Navy Personnel Command (NPC) to resume normal order writ-ing for the fourth quarter this fiscal year. This followed a tempo-rary hold initiated in April.
“Using the prioritization strategy developed in Millington, we mitigated the impact of the initial PCS shortfall and were largely successful in minimizing the impacts on Sailors and their families,” said Rear Adm. Don Quinn, commander NPC and deputy CNP. “One of the mitigation actions was to shift a num-ber of projected rotation dates (PRDs) to FY10.”
Although funds were restored for those receiving orders through September, the majority of PRDs that were shifted to FY10 will remain adjusted.
Current funding levels support all identified fourth quarter FY09 moves. However, a PCS obligation policy change that went into effect earlier this year means that PCS funds must be obligated when orders are released, instead of when the Sailor detaches. The result is that some of the FY10 orders cannot be released until the new fiscal year.
“Because of the additional FY09 funding, approximately 4,000 Sailors scheduled to detach in the first quarter of FY10 will receive orders soon,” said Quinn.
“However, up to 14,000 Sailors slated to detach during the first quarter of FY10 will not receive orders until after 1 Oct.”

Navy command reduces cost of mail ser-vice for Southeast Region
Distinguishing Marks/Rating Badges
In 1841, insignia called "distinguishing marks" were first prescribed as part of the official uni-form. An eagle and anchor emblem, forerunner of the rating badge, was the first distinguishing mark. In 1886 rating badges were established, and some 15 specialty marks were also provided to cover the various ratings.
On 1 April 1893, petty officers were reclassified and the rating of chief petty officer was established. Until 1949 rating badges were worn on the right or left sleeve, depending on whether the person concerned was on the starboard or port watch. Since February 1948, all distinguishing marks have been worn on the left sleeve between the shoulder and el-bow.

A Navy logistics command in Jack-sonville, Fla., has found ways to reduce the cost of postal operations in the Southeast Region by 20 percent.
A Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) study of the official mail process by the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Jacksonville, a component of the Naval Supply Systems Command under Commander, Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers, has resulted in simplified and standardized postal operations across the Southeast Region, saving the Navy ap-proximately $522,000.
Standardized training for regional official mail managers and mail orderlies is expected to garner an additional 15 percent savings through aggressive en-forcement of official mail regulations and the use of prudent and proper mailing proce-dures such as minimizing use of flat rate envelopes and boxes.
By educating customers on the proper use of special services such as registered and certified mail, next-day service, delivery confirmation, etc., the command anticipates another 5 percent savings in postal costs.
The CPI plan also calls for aligning Official Mail Facility manning to workload and to eliminate funded vacancies, which will save the Navy approximately $307,000.
“The team members who worked on this project should be proud of their accom-plishments,” said FISC Jacksonville Black Belt Pauline Chriscoe. “They produced a plan of action that will clearly result in a tangible, positive impact on the postal opera-tions [in the Southeast Region].”
FISC Jacksonville, one of seven supply centers under COMFISCS, provides opera-tional logistics, business and support services to fleet, shore and industrial commands of the Navy, Coast Guard, Military Sealift Command, and other Joint and Allied Forces. Services include contracting, regional transportation, fuel, material management, house-hold goods movement support, postal and consolidated mail, warehousing, global logis-tics and husbanding, hazardous material management, and integrated logistics support.
COMFISCS comprises more than 6,400 military and civilian logistics profes-sionals, operating as a single cohesive team providing an array of integrated global lo-gistics and contracting services from nearly 200 locations worldwide to Navy and Joint operational units across all warfare enterprises. A component of the Naval Supply Sys-tems Command, headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pa., COMFISCS is part of a world-wide logistics network of more than 25,000 military and civilian personnel providing combat capability through logistics.
