Golden Anchor
Naval Facility Keflavik (NavFac),
under the command of Cdr. Richard
T. Porter, has been selected by COM-
OCEANSYSLANT to receive the Golden
Anchor Award for its outstanding
career retention program.
NavFac's top retention team is
headed by Command Career Counselor
SKI Alan Hortz, and features active
involvement at all levels of the
command. Key elements of the pro-
gram include an active and produc-
tive family Ombudsman, Mrs. Shirley
Fierro, a well organized sponsor
program, command letters to parents
and spouses, improved internal com-
munications , involvement of depend-
ents in command activities, reen-
listment flights, command advance-
ment program and plenty of recognit-
ion for individual achievement.
These and other career retention
efforts at NavFac have resulted in
the command's recognition as best
among ten competing Naval Facilities
for maintaining "a dynamic, well-
organized and effective counselling
program in which all hands actively
participate."
