Ne ivs Briefs nflVFflC excells daring annual inspections Naval Facility Keflavik has once again displayed its excellence during a series of annual, com- mand-wide inspections conducted by inspection teams from Naval Facility's reporting senior, COMOCEANSYSLANT. The first of these inspections encompassed the facilities maintenance, the electronics mainten- ance, and the supply divisions, all of which ex- ceeded the highest of expectations with outstanding results and no discrepancies noted. Within this same timeframe, Capt. William J. Foggle, com- mander, Oceanographic System Atlantic, accom- panied by other members of the command, con- ducted the executive inspection. The captain conducted tours of enlisted, chief and officer quarters and a captain's call was held for all NAVFAC personnel as well as various social events that were planned in his honor. Capt. Foggle stated that he was impressed with the excellent morale, operational performance and pride and professionalism of the facility. Following the inspection, NAVFAC was offered yet another opportunity to excell during the opera- tional readiness and administrative and physical security inspection. The Naval Facility again achieved exceptional results with no descrepencies noted. Household goods to travel bg sea beginning in Julg Under a new shipping contract recently signed your household goods will now arrive or depart Iceland by ship rather than by air. According to Lt. Brewster, material division officer, "Under the new contract, ocean transportation rates are now approximately $2.29 lower than air transportation via MAC, making ocean transportation more economically attractive than airlift. And because there will be more frequent sailings available under the new contract (every two weeks vice every 22 days as in the past), delivery times to a destination will not be significantly lengthened and we do not anticipate any customer service degradations. "This new method of transportation will 8lso save the government over two millions dollars a year because the NATO Base handles approximately two million cubic feet of household goods a year," the lieutenant concluded. So what does this mean to the arriving/departing member and his/her family? It means little or no change in the time it takes for your household items to arrive at their destination. The only actual difference in transportation time will be from the moment your HHGs depart one continent and arrive at the other (nine days by sea on average vice one day by air). flir Force volunteers needed for Palace Chase Air Force is looking for first-term airmen and other eligible people in most career fields who are interested in Joining the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.
