WASHINGTON - PresidentBarack Obama took the ceremo-nial oath of office for his secondterm as the 44th U.S. presidentand commander in chief on thesteps of the U.S. Capitol Jan. 21,honoring the men and womenin uniform who have preservedAmerica’s freedoms throughoutits history.

More than 5,000 military mem-bers – some participating in theinaugural parade, others playingmusical accompaniment, firing ar-tillery rounds into the sky or pro-viding behind-the-scenes support– were among more than a halfmillion people who gathered onthe National Mall to watch Obamaand Vice President Joe Biden entertheir second term.

Recognizing the drawdownof forces in Afghanistan and theramping down of more than a de-cade of conflict, Obama offeredhigh praise during his inauguraladdress for U.S. service members,

their contributions and sacrifices.“Our brave men and women in

uniform, tempered by the flamesof battle, are unmatched in skilland courage,” he said. “Our citi-zens, seared by the memory ofthose we have lost, know toowell the price that is paid for lib-erty. The knowledge of their sac-rifice will keep us forever vigilantagainst those who would do usharm.”

Obama expressed hope for amore peaceful future, noting thatAmericans understand that “en-during security and lasting peacedo not require perpetual war.”

Americans are “heirs to thosewho won the peace and not justthe war, who turned sworn en-emies into the surest of friends,”the president said. “And we mustcarry those lessons into this timeas well.”

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. – Members of U.S.Coast Guard Station Washing-ton, along with officers from theMaryland State Police and severalneighboring counties like PrinceGeorge and Queen Anne, cametogether Jan. 21 to provide water-side security in support of the 57thpresidential inauguration. Unitsconsisting of Guardsmen and lo-cal police conducted patrols alongthe Potomac River to help enforcesecurity zones within the NationalCapital Region (NCR).

Capt. Kevin Kiefer, commanderof Coast Guard Sector Baltimore,discussed the joint venture dur-ing a media briefing on Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling the Friday be-

fore the inauguration. In additionto waterside security, enforcementwould include traffic control, com-

munications and medical support.“The primary focus is to ensure

the safety of the public during

the inauguration. Working withother law enforcement agencieshelps augment resources duringa major event like this,” Kiefersaid. “While there’s no maritimethreat, we must be fully preparedfor anything that could happen.Commercial vehicles are evenoperating under specific securitymeasures.”

That’s the big difference fromthe 2009 presidential inaugura-tion, Kiefer noted. At this year’sevent, he said commercial vesselsand water taxis would allowedinto a certain zone along the Po-tomac only after receiving specialpermission from the Coast Guard.That was not the case previously.

Capt. David Larsen, specialoperations commander for theMaryland Natural Resources Po-lice, said the working relationship

between all the agencies involvedwas stellar.

“There are a lot of pieces in-volved with providing securityduring a presidential inaugura-tion,” Larsen said. “That’s why it’sso important for everyone to be onthe same page. I think the overallcollaboration of forces this yearwas phenomenal.”

In preparation for the inau-guration, the U.S. Coast GuardHonor Guard worked around theclock to ensure that hundredsof personnel arriving for the oc-casion had proper berthing ar-rangements, uniform items andtraining. The Honor Guard alsohad members train recruits, CoastGuard Academy cadets and othermarching elements on how toproperly march in the inauguralparade.

AIR FORCE PUBLIC

AFFAIRS AGENCY

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Theacting under secretary of the AirForce described how the nation’sfiscal challenges are affecting theservice to a group of civic and in-dustry leaders in Arlington, Va.,Jan. 15.

Dr. Jamie Morin spoke to mem-bers of industry, the Air Force, theAir Force Association and mediaas part of AFA’s monthly breakfastprogram that provides a venue forsenior Air Force and Departmentof Defense leaders to communi-cate directly with the public andthe press.

Despite the encouraging prog-ress made by Congress by enact-ing the Defense Authorization Billand delaying the spending cutsthat would have been put in placeby the budget control act, Morinsaid, “there’s a lot more work tobe done.”

Air Force officials are bracingfor the potential combined impactof operating under a continuingresolution and the looming pos-sibility of sequestration.

“The uncertainty associatedwith this threat makes it evenharder for the institutions of de-fense,” Morin said. “It greatly

complicates resource planning ata time when we need to squeezethe maximum amount of combatcapability out of each tax dollarthat is entrusted to us.”

Morin and Air Force Vice Chiefof Staff Gen. Larry Spencer issuedguidance to all major commandsJan. 14, outlining near-term ac-tions to reduce spending rates and

minimize budget execution risks.“We put restrictions in place of

civilian hiring; we directed curtail-ment of non-readiness and non-mission critical flight operationsand travel; we also said defer, cur-tail and reduce any non-essentialpurchases,” said Morin.

“Similarly, we said we’re will-ing to accept a bit of pause in our

facility sustainment, renovationsmodernization and we should fo-cus resources only on emergencywork.”

At a glance, these actions mayseem substantial, but Morin em-phasized that sequestration wouldbe much harsher.

“The actions that we’ve direct-ed so far, only take a small step to-wards sequestration reductions,”Morin said. “This is in no way,shape or form implementing a se-questration reduction. If seques-tration is triggered and we remainunder a continuing resolution fora year, the impacts are blunt, theimpacts are heavy, and they arevery serious.”

In light of the unknown, Morinstressed the importance of lead-ers working together and stickingto the defense strategy.

“The tighter the resource envi-ronment, the more critical that theNation and the defense establish-ment align closer to the new stra-tegic guidance,” he said. “Uncer-tainty does not give us a pass onour need to do good strategy andour need to make good resourcechoices in the near term, mediumterm and the long term.”

Though Morin said he believesthe strategy aligns well with U.S.security and economic interests,as well as the global environment,there are a host of implications

that come from the strategy - toinclude a balanced force struc-ture, the need to improve readi-ness levels and a requirement tomodernize the force.

“These are principles that AirForce leaders use to guide budgetdecisions in 2013; principles thatwe intend to stick by in 2014, andthe future,” Morin said, highlight-ing the importance of preservingthe Air Force’s distinctive capa-bilities. “We believe the currentbudget is right-sized to providethose goals and to meet the re-quirements, but it involves mak-ing tough choices.”

One of those choices was totrade size for quality, he said,adding that throughout the bud-get planning process leaders willremain focused on preserving keymilitary advantage.

“We are facing a complicated,uncertain fiscal environment.There will be pressure to choosebetween fiscal responsibility anda strong national defense -- thatis, in my mind at least, a falsechoice,” Morin said. “We can andshould recognize that the long-term health of the U.S. economy,the U.S. military and our positionin the world depends on us beinggood stewards in defense and get-ting more combat capability out ofeach dollar.”

AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS AGENCY

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- AirForce senior leaders directed aforce-wide hiring freeze amongother workforce actions in a mem-orandum sent to senior command-ers Jan. 16.

The actions are part of the AirForce’s efforts to pursue reversibleor recoverable steps to avoid im-pacts to core readiness caused bythe looming possibility of seques-tration and budgetary shortfalls.

Civilian pay makes up a largeshare of the Air Force’s operatingbudget. With budgetary uncer-tainty and a projected fiscal year2013 $1.8 billion shortfall in theAir Force funding for overseascontingency operations, Air Forceleadership is taking these immedi-ate actions to reduce the force’sexpenditure rate.

The temporary hiring freezeapplies to all positions that areopen to applicants outside the AirForce for permanent, temporaryand term vacancies in all appro-priations, according to the memo.Reassignments and promotionswithin the current work force willcontinue because they do not af-fect the current force size.

The memo, issued by Lt. Gen.Darrell Jones, deputy chief of stafffor Manpower, Personnel and Ser-

vices, Headquarters U.S. Air Force,Washington, D.C., states hiring ac-tions already in progress where aselection was made and an entryon duty date already establishedwill continue, and set EODs mayremain. External hiring actionswhere a job offer has not beenmade will be withdrawn. Exemp-tions from previous hiring controlsdo not carry over.

Additionally, commanders aredirected to immediately releasetemporary employees, and notrenew term employees. All tem-porary and term employees, toinclude reemployed annuitantsthat are not considered missioncritical, should be separated in ac-cordance with already establishedprocedures.

More specific guidance on ac-tions related to the civilian work-force hiring freeze and manage-ment of temporary and term em-ployees is being developed andwill be distributed through com-mand channels as soon as detailsare available.

“These are uncharted watersconcerning the federal budget andthe effect it will have on the AirForce,” Jones said in the memo.“It is imperative we work closelytogether to balance mission needsand minimize impacts to our dedi-cated civilian employees and theirfamilies.”

ARMY NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - In advanceof possible extreme budget cutsthat could arrive in March, Armyleadership has called for an im-mediate hiring freeze and spelledout other pre-emptive measuresmeant to help the service preparefor a fiscal cliff.

In a memo dated Jan. 16,Secretary of the Army John M.McHugh and Chief of Staff of theArmy Gen. Ray Odierno, laid out15 “near-term” actions to help theArmy “reduce our expenditurerate and mitigate budget execu-tion risks in order to avoid evenmore serious future fiscal short-falls.”

“We expect commandersand supervisors at all levels toimplement both the guidancecontained in this memorandumand the detailed instructions tofollow,” wrote McHugh and Odi-erno. “The fiscal situation andoutlook are serious.”

First among those actions is animmediate freeze on civilian hir-ing, though Army leaders have leftcommanders with some latitudein the policy for “humanitarianand mission-critical purposes.”Also among employment-relat-

ed measures spelled out in thememo is a termination of tempo-rary employees when “consistentwith mission requirements.”

The memo also directs instal-lation commanders to reducebase operations support for fiscalyear 2013, which runs from Oct.1, 2012 to Sept. 31, 2013, to levelsthat are about 70 percent of fis-cal year 2012. Commanders havebeen asked to reduce support tocommunity and recreational ac-tivities and to also reduce utilitiesconsumption “to the maximumextent possible.”

Non-mission-essential train-ing activities are also up for re-duction. In particular, trainingnot related to maintaining “read-iness for Operation EnduringFreedom, the Korean forward-de-ployed units, Homeland Defenseand the Division Ready Brigade.”Also targeted is conference atten-dance and professional trainingthat is not mission essential.

The secretary and the chiefhave also directed installationcommanders to cease facilitysustainment activity that is not“directly connected to matters oflife, health or safety,” and to stoprestoration and modernizationprojects.

Army senior leadership has

also spelled out changes for Armyacquisition, logistics and tech-nology. All production contractsand research, development, test-ing and evaluation contracts thatexceed $500 million must be re-viewed by the under secretary ofdefense for acquisition, logisticsand technology.

The assistant secretary of theArmy for acquisition, logisticsand technology must also assessthe impacts of “budgetary uncer-tainty” on science and technologyaccounts.

The secretary and chief of staffstate civilian furloughs could bea “last resort” possibility in fis-cal year 2013. “Therefore, no ac-tion should be taken with regardto furloughs without the expressapproval of the secretary of theArmy.”

Any measures taken as a resultof the Jan. 16 memo must be re-versible, the document states.

“At this point, the steps shouldfocus on actions that are revers-ible if the budgetary situationimproves and should minimizeharm to readiness,” McHugh andOdierno write.

The memo also notes that“funding related to wartime op-erations and Wounded Warriorprograms” will not be affected.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING - The Commander-in-Chief Ball is becoming a timehonored tradition in the nation’scapital since its inception in2005 by then President GeorgeW. Bush. The special occasion al-lows the president, first lady andvice-president to meet, dine anddance the night away with ser-vice members from all branchesof the U.S. armed forces.

The 2013 presidential inau-guration did not disappoint, asguests came away with memo-ries and plenty of stories to tell.Without a doubt, Air Force StaffSgt. Bria Nelson has a story thatwill last a lifetime.

Nelson, a medical techni-cian with the 579th Medical Op-erations Squadron on Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling, was one offour service members chosen tojoin the Obamas and Bidens forthe traditional first dance at thisyear’s ball, which was held at theWalter E. Washington Conven-tion Center Jan. 21 following thepresident’s second-term inaugu-ration.

According to Nelson, the ex-perience of meeting and dancingwith President Obama on this

night and for this occasion was aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“My experience is indescrib-able,,” Nelson said. “I was ner-vous in the beginning, but aftermeeting the president and firstlady, they put me at ease. Theyare really down to earth people.”

Nelson, a native of Indianapo-lis, Ind. who joined the Air Forcein 2002, said the president wasvery nice and that they discussedfamily while enjoying their dancetogether.

“I also let him know howmuch I appreciated this oppor-tunity and how much it meantto my mother,” Nelson said. “Mymother was so excited for me tobe dancing with him.”

Other selected service mem-bers were Marine Corps Gun-nery Sgt. Timothy Easterling, ofMarine Barracks, Washington,D.C.; Army Staff Sgt. Keesha Den-tino, of Fort Myer, Va. and NavyPetty Officer 3rd Class PatrickFigueroa, a wounded warrior atthe Walter Reed National MilitaryMedical Center in Bethesda, Md.

Service members were chosenby a selection board made up ofsenior enlisted leaders from theJoint Task Force-National Capi-tal Region, a task force of DODmilitary and civilian membersbrought together to support the57th Presidential Inauguration.

The board met with and re-viewed the records and accom-plishments of more than 50 in-dividuals who were submittedby senior leadership within eachservice. Considering factors likecombat experience and volunteerefforts, the board aimed to iden-tify individuals who would besttell the story of their services.

“These men and women rep-resent their service in an honor-able and professional way. Weare excited to afford them thisonce-in-a-lifetime opportunityas part of the presidential inau-guration,” said Marine CorpsMaster Gunnery Sgt. Julius Spain,who participated in the selectionprocess as the senior enlistedboard member representing theMarine Corps and serves as thesenior enlisted advisor to theJoint Team Special Events, JTF-NCR.

The Commander-in-Chief’sBall is for members of the U.S.military, including active dutyand reserve military members,Medal of Honor recipients,wounded warriors and theirspouses, among others.

COMMENTARY BY MILTON

LAWLER, PH.D.SPECIAL TO THE JOINT

BASE JOURNAL

As we acknowledge the birth-day of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,it’s important to acknowledge Dr.Benjamin Elijah Mays, a mentor toDr. King. Mays was born on August1, 1894. His mother and father wereemancipated from slavery in 1863at the ages of 9 and 3, respectively.At an early age Mays dreamed ofreceiving an education and elimi-nating legally sanctioned segrega-tion. He achieved both.

Mays was a person of integritywho played a behind-the-scenerole during the Civil Rights Move-ment. He became King’s mentor in1944 and he built a strong networkto support King’s undergraduateand graduate studies. As presi-dent of Morehouse College, Maysadmitted the 15 year old prodigy.Upon graduation with a bachelor’sof sociology, Mays then recom-mended King’s admittance to theChester Crozier Theological Semi-nary.

When King gained enrollmentat the seminary, Mays’ former pro-fessor from the University of Chica-go was its president. In 1951, Kinggraduated from the seminary andwas accepted into the Doctorateof Systematic Theology Programat Boston University. While thereMays’ protégé Howard Thurmanmentored Dr. King through the rig-ors of the doctorate program. After

four years of study, King graduatedwith his Ph.D. Mays would contin-ue mentoring King until his assas-sination on April 4, 1968.

Prior to King’s assassination, Dr.Ralph Abernathy made an interest-ing observation about the relation-ship between Mays and King. Ab-ernathy recalled Mrs. Sadie Maysbecoming upset when she discov-ered that King borrowed liberallyfrom Mays’ sermons without givingcredit for the original idea. Duringchapel services at Morehouse, Kingwas considered a genius and Mayswas possibly seen as a plagiarist. Inspite of this slight, Mays gave thebenediction at the 1963 march onWashington and was the eulogist atKing’s funeral in 1968.

Mays was truly a man of integ-rity; he never corrected his pupiland allowed King to receive fullcredit for using his ideas. Reusingor adopting the eloquent words offellow civil rights leaders, withoutcitation, was common practice.In another incident, reporter Jef-frey Zaslow described how theRev. Archibald Carey Jr.’s daugh-ter, Carolyn Carey-Jones, wishedKing had credited her father forthe phrase “Let freedom ring fromthe hilltops of New Hampshire…from the mighty mountains of NewYork…from the stone mountain ofGeorgia…from lookout mountainof Tennessee….” Reverend Careyused the original idea when headdressed the 1952 RepublicanNational Convention. Carey wasonly one of many ministers whose

speeches and sermons King andothers borrowed because it wascommon practice of his day.

It was common practice be-cause, according to my research,the American education system didnot support equality across raciallines. Therefore, a complete un-derstanding of the academic crimeof plagiarism did not permeatethe campuses where underfundedAmericans received their educa-tion. As a fellow academic, I can re-late to Dr. Mays’ dilemma and hisacquiescence to the practice. Byallowing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.the liberality to borrow his wordswithout citation , it gave way to anon-violent equality movementwhich benefited American womenand minorities since the passage ofthe Civil Rights Act of 1964 and theVoting Rights Act of 1965.

As Americans, we should takeup the banner and follow suit bybuilding a network to help Ameri-can youth achieve greater heights- mentoring them to lead Americaand the world to embrace diversity.

ALEXANDRA SNYDERDEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY - NAVY

ARLINGTON. Va. (NNS) -- Sec-retary of the Navy Ray Mabusrolled out his new “Four Ps” dur-ing a speech at the 25th AnnualSurface Navy Association Sympo-sium in Arlington, Va. Jan. 17.

Mabus said the Four Ps of“People, Platforms, Power andPartnerships” are a way to bin keyareas that are interrelated priori-ties for the Navy.

“A top priority of mine and ofour Navy is people...taking careof our people,” Mabus said. “Un-like most organizations, we pushresponsibility down... down inrank, down in age, and day-in,day-out we get the type of posi-tive results we need and expect.”

Mabus added that althoughthe majority of Sailors are respon-sible and successful, leadershiprealized that there needed to bemore attention paid to programsto ensure their mental, emotionaland physical well-being. In re-sponse, the Navy introduced the21st Century Sailor and Marineinitiative to maintain or improvethe resilience of the force.

Recognizing abuse of alcoholwas a common factor in sexualabuse, domestic violence, suicideand other issues, breathalyzerswere brought into commands tohelp prevent alcohol-related in-cidents.

“This is not intended to bepunitive. But, if you pop positivewhen reporting for duty, we’regoing to get you into a programto help you,” he said. “We don’t

want a career or life-threateningalcohol-related incident, andbecause of that we have to focuson health - physical, mental andemotional.”

Mabus also noted that partof maintaining the health of thefleet means taking steps to helpSailors as they transition out ofthe Navy by ensuring they haveaccess to education, training andemployment opportunities. Thisis especially true for woundedwarriors.

“Last year, we set a goal to hireone wounded warrior a day in theNavy,” he said. “We tripled it... wehired over 1,000 wounded veter-ans.”

The Navy is also helping thosewant to join the military, by rees-tablishing the Naval Reserve Offi-cer Training Corps in universitiessuch as Harvard, Yale and Colum-bia, and implementing it for thefirst time at other colleges likeArizona State University.

“No one should be denied thehonor of serving this country,”Mabus said.

The second P, platforms, refersto the ships, aircraft, submarines,unmanned vehicles and hard-ware the Navy buys and builds.For the Surface Navy Associa-tion audience, Mabus focused onshipbuilding programs as a stra-tegic priority for the Navy todayand in the future.

“I think that we have madegreat strides in ship building,”Mabus said. “We’re getting theships we need, the mix we needand the numbers we need whilebeing good stewards of the tax-payer’s money. I’m proud ofwhere we are.”

“We owe the shipbuildingindustry transparency... I feelwe’re giving them that,” he said.“In turn, they owe us that everyship built without major designchanges, should cost us less thanthe one before it. This is happen-ing, and we currently have 288ships.”

Additionally, Mabus notedthat the Navy has 42 ships cur-rently under contract and is mak-ing steady progress toward build-ing a fleet of 300 ships by the endof the decade.

The third P, power, focuses onMabus’ five energy goals whichinclude pursuing energy efficien-cies and alternative sources of

energy.“The U.S. military is the largest

single consumer of fossil fuels inthe world,” he said. “Every time abarrel of oil goes up one dollar, itcosts the Navy 30 million dollars.”

Mabus illustrated that addi-tional cost in terms of steamingdays, saying it was roughly theequivalent of 142 steaming daysfor LHDs or 293 days of combatoperations for an Arleigh Burkeclass destroyer.

Last year the Navy demon-strated the Great Green Fleet inHawaii, as part of RIMPAC. TheGreat Green Fleet included anuclear-powered aircraft carrier,aircraft and ships operating on

50/50 blends of traditional andadvanced biofuels, and severalfirsts such as underway and air-to-air refueling using biofuels.

“Something truly remark-able happened when we demon-strated the Great Green Fleet,”Mabus said. “Nothing. Not asingle engine or process had tobe changed. They simply did notknow the difference,” continuedMabus. “I don’t want to fly less,steam less or deploy less. AndI don’t think we have to, but wehave to make this move.”

Partnerships may be the last P,but they’re a top priority accord-ing to Mabus who links it back toour new Defense Strategy and itsfocus on innovative, small foot-print engagements around theworld.

“The Navy is America’s awayteam,” he said. “When we’reworking, we’re usually a long wayfrom home. Because of that weneed to build partnerships, buildcapacity around the world. Ourpresence around the world, work-ing with our friends and allies, isimportant, and the demand willcontinue to increase.”

Mabus concluded by tellingthe audience the Navy and Ma-rine Corps team, America’s AwayTeam, stands ready to answer allbells.

“We are and will continue tobe the finest fighting force theworld has ever known,” Mabussaid.

SECNAV discusses his focus areas

U.S. NAVY PHOTO BY CHIEF MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST SAM SHAVERS

Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus delivers remarks at the 25thannual Surface Navy Association Symposium held recently in Arlington,Va. In his remarks, Mabus discussed the four Ps of “People, Platforms,Power and Partnerships” as a way to highlight key areas that are inter-related priorities for the Navy.

BY U.S. FLEET FORCES COM-MAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- TheNavy announced plans Jan. 23to promote safety and provideeducation and awareness on thedangers of irresponsible alcoholuse and the negative impact ithas on mission accomplishment,by introducing the use of alcoholdetection devices (ADD) acrossthe fleet.

As part of the Secretary of theNavy’s (SECNAV) 21st CenturySailor and Marine initiative, SEC-NAV approved the use of ADDs asanother tool available for com-manders to deter irresponsible

use of alcohol and assist in iden-tifying service members who mayrequire support and assistancewith alcohol use decisions.

U.S. Fleet Forces conducted a“pilot test” on ADDs with 13 seaand shore commands during the100 days of summer from May 24through Sept. 30, 2012. The datacollected fleet-wide was used todevelop the processes and policyfor how best to implement a pro-gram Navy-wide.

The office of the Chief of Na-val Operations approved OPNAVInstruction 5350.8 Jan. 22, whichestablished policies and proce-dures for the use of the hand-helddevices Navy-wide.

“Fleet feedback was instru-

mental in the development of thispolicy,” said Adm. Bill Gortney,commander of U.S. Fleet Forces.“The test verified that the major-ity of our service members, whochoose to drink alcohol, do soresponsibly. It also verified thatour commanding officers needa flexible program that serves toincrease the Navy’s awarenessabout the impacts of alcohol.”

Gortney and Adm. CecilHaney, commander of U.S. Pa-cific Fleet, in a joint-message tocommanders said the new pro-gram will complement currentcommand efforts to educate ser-vice members on the responsibleuse of alcohol.

The program also promotes

standards of safety, educationand training, and awareness.

According to the instruction,the objective of ADD is to pro-mote safety and education on theeffects of alcohol use decisions,and enhances leadership aware-ness and understanding of theirunit’s alcohol use culture.

“Deterring irresponsible use ofalcohol is essential to the readi-ness of our fleet and ensuring thehealth and safety of our servicemembers and units,” said Gort-ney. “Fleet Forces, in partnershipwith Pacific Fleet, will remain en-gaged in providing service mem-bers the tools and resources tomake these responsible choices.The ADD is one of many tools

commanders have to educate ser-vice members.”

Focused on those in a duty sta-tus and during normal workinghours, the device is not intendedto test those in an authorizedleave or liberty status. Command-ing officers may also use ADD re-sults as a basis to further evalu-ate a service member’s fitnessfor duty through use of a Compe-tence for Duty examination.

The instruction applies to allactive duty, reserve and person-nel from other services assignedto Navy units in any capacity.

Alcohol detection devices willbegin arriving to commands inFebruary.
