WASHINGTON, D.C. - Enlisted Naval Reserv­ists who have completed 30 years of total federal military service will need a waiver from now on to remain in the Selected Reserve.

Qualified Students Can Earn Monthly Navy Money lAlhile Attending College Classes

WASHINGTON, D .C. - The Navy • has designed a special program through

which a qualified student can earn more than $900 a month while attending college.

This special incentive is the nuclear propulsion officer candidate (NUPOC) exceptional student program. It has been initiated to attract college students who have demonstrated outstanding scholastic performance in technical subjects such as engineering, chemistry or physics.

Male college students who are within one to two years of graduation can apply. If selected, the student is enlisted as an officer candidate seaman (OCSN) in the Naval Reserve. He will receive all benefits

and allowances entitled to an E-3 in the regular Navy. Upon graduation and completion of officer candidate school, the student will be commissioned an ensign in the "Naval Reserve. A three-year active duty obligation will be incurred after attending the six-month nuclear power school in Orlando, Fla., and six months of additional training at one of three nuclear reactor facilities.

Additional information on the program can be obtained by calling the Navy officer program recruiter at the nearest Navy Recruiting District, the Navy National Recruiting Information Center at (800) 841-8000, toll free, or by writing Commander, Navy Recruiting Command, Code 312, 4015 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, Va. 22203.

The requirement also pertains to personnel with obligated service because of advancement and Reserv­ists who have not com­pleted 20 years of qualify­ing service for retirement. "

The waivers are expected to be granted on a fiscal year basis and personnel will be retained in drill pay, if otherwise qualified, until September 30 of the year they complete 30 years of service. The waivers must be requested by March 1 of each year.

The waiver is a modifica­tion of OP-13B Memo 135Rl/0710 of July 6, 1981.

Cuts in Public School Funding Impact on Dependent Children

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Because of federal budget cuts, many local civilian communities have been considering charging tuition for military dependents in the public school system.

Both Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Wein­berger and Secretary ofthe Navy John Lehman have stated their commitment to prevent any adverse effect of local community decisions on individual servicemembers.

The federal impact aid program reimburses public school districts for a portion of the cost incurred in educating children of federal employees. It provides financial assist-

ance to local educational districts where operation of a military installation on federal property deprives state and local districts of real property, consumer and income taxes.

Reducing the fiscal year 1982 impact aid program will affect two categories of students:

-Those whose sponsors live and work on federal property (about 230,500 children).

-Those whose sponsors work on federal property, but live in the civilian community. Impact aid payments for those federal dependents will be elim­inated (about 330,500 children).

There are as many as 3,000 school districts which

Letters to the editor

CN A VRES Thanked

Dear Admiral Palmer, I am pleased and

encouraged by the increas­ing success of the NUPOC ROAD program. Your enthusiasm and personal attention is greatly appre­ciated. The growing number of qualified leads generated by the Reserve community and certainly the two accessions at· tributed to Readiness Commands Eight and Eleven are not only gratifying but evidence that your efforts are paying off.

It is clear that fulfilling the manning needs of the nuclear navy will remain our number one recruiting priority. I look forward to your continued support in nuclear officer recruiting.

Good APG Class

I attended the APG (advance pay grade) school at North Island Naval Air Station in the latter part of August 1981, and found it to be one of the finest training classes that I have had the privilege to attend.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratu· late and praise Captain Stephen Slack and his staff of professional instructors,

Chief Petty Officer Allen Littlefield, AMHI Malcolm Teerink, ATI Bill Robin· son, AMI Robert Cole, ADI Richard Bums and YN2 Robert Lea for their outstanding informative and interesting instruction.

The staff went all out to make all of us students comfortable and welcome in every way, which created high morale for all those concerned. They are a credit to themselves and the U.S. Navy.

Drill Problem

I am a SELRES crew­member of USS H.J. Ellison (DD 864); an obligor on the 4 x 10 program; EOS of October 1982; andhavea work contlict which cannot seem to be cleared up. The problem is I am a federal fireman at the Philadel­phia Naval Shipyard. I work 24 hours on and 24 hours off with three days off every 10 days. My three days off come on weekends only four times a year and only once on the third weekend of the month which is usually when I have weekend drill.

If my work schedule calls for me to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Sunday and I have a drill that weekend, r have to take time off in a "leave without pay" status,

could lose all or part of their current federal funding.

SECDEF has requested that the Justice Depart­ment initiate appropriate legal action to prevent local school boards from charging tuition.

A 000 task force has been formed to develop contingency procedures for handling of' tuition bills. The Navy action officer, Dr. David Smith (OP-152B), may be contacted at autovon 224-5742 or commercial (202) 694-5742.

Commanding officers' designated representatives will forward to Dr. Smith a sample copy of any public school tuition bills received and a list of all students (and their sponsors) who have received such bills.

More information con· cerning tuition charges may be obtained from ALNAV 65/81.

starting at 7 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday and the entire 24 hours on Sunday because r never know what time we'll be off Sunday evening. This is a totalof37 hours leave without pay, which means I lose all my overtime and one-third of my base pay. What I make in the Reserve does not equal the loss from work.

Up until this time J was looking forward to serving 20 years. One more thing, I have been to every Reserve center around and there are no SM billets to be filled.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Members of the Selected Reserve, whose -Reserve participation causes an extreme personal hardship, may request assignment to Training/ Pay Category H (no drill attendance required). Through proper documentation, such requests must substantiate that a bona fide drilling hardship exists. Requests for assignment to Train­ing/ Pay Category Hare submitted to Commander, Naval Military Personnel Command (NMPC913), via the chain of command. Chapter 1, para III of BuPersInst 5400.42E contains information required for requesting assignment to Training/ Pay Category H.

Reemployment Law Remains Intact

WASHINGTON. D.C. - When the Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the right of members of the National Guard and Reserve forces to take time off from their civilian jobs to attend military training, it left intact the basic entitlements of the Veterans' Reemployment Rights Statute.

But in so doing, in the case ofMonroev8. Standard Oil, the court clarified a disputed portion of the law in favor of the employer in the case. (Naval Reservist News, September, 1981)

This, according to the National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, has led many members - and some employers - to assume that the court had struck down the basic right to take time off from work for military duties. It has not, they said.

What the court decided was this: If an employee misses work to attend military training, the employer is not req uired to provide the employee an opportunity to make up the lost time unless similar scheduling adjustments are made for all employees.

The reemployment rights law protects more than just a right to take time off from work for military training. It also ensures Reservists and Guardsmen to train without losing annual leave or paid vacation. And the law protects members by prohibiting employers from denying them promotions, seniority, pension participation and other benefits because of military duties.

The response you have been getting from your superiors is understand· able. They know that, with the Federal Government, as with anybody else, a contract is a contract. Hopefully, you signed in full understanding of the commitment you were making. Additionally, whether or not there is a "local" vacant billet, the fact is that there is a shortage of SM3s in relation to the total Naval Reserve requirement. However, you do have

'formal recourse, as indicated above, and it is to be hoped that your superiors will recognize their obligation to assist you in the exercise of that recourse (i.e., they should show you how to write your letter).

CNO Praises Lawe For GL Cruise Duty

NEW ORLEANS - The Naval Reserve Force destroyer USS William C. Lawe (DD 763) has returned to her homebase here after completion of the

Congress Cuts Bonus

WASHINGTON. D.C. - Bonuses for enlistments or reenlistments in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) have been stopped by Congress. The action, which took effect on September 30, also killed any bonus for extensions of service.

The short lived bonus program was established to reward three-year periods of additional service in the IRR, a non-drilling, non­active duty area of the Naval Reserve.

The IRR is a manpower pool of trained Naval Reservists serving out the remainder of their obli­gated service.

Outstanding ASW Crew Identified

most successful Great Lakes Cruise ever held.

Lawe began the fourth annual cruise on June 19 and visited 18 ports of call in the United States and Canada, primarily in

. support of Navy recruiting. In a congratulatory

message, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Thomas B. Hayward said in part: "In each of the cities visited, thousands of visitors have been im· pressed by the pride and professionalism demon­strated. The positive public affairs programs initiated in each of the areas has enhanced the image of the Navy. Countless recruiting leads were generated. The goodwill earned will pay long-term dividends to both the Navy and the nation.

"As our Navy represent­atives conclude this highly successful cruise, please be aware that they have earned my personal well done," the CNO concluded.

The intent of the cruise was to ex pose Navy personnel, ships and hardware to an area of the country which is seldom able to view the Navy first hand.

More than 165,000 visitors toured the ship,

which was 25,000 more than the 140,000 visitors that toured the two-ship cruise of 1979.

The officers and crew of Lawe and the embarked commander, Destroyer Squadron 36, drew high praise from Rear Admiral

Floyd H. Miller, Com­mander, Navy Recruiting Command. In a message, he said "Your superb pro­fessionalism, can-do attitude and stalwart performance have had a singularly positive effect on public appreciation of

the importance of our Navy. The pride of all personnel in their ship and their Navy hasmadea deep and lasting impression upon the general public and particularly upon those quality youth of recruitable age that we seek."

NEW ORLEANS - The top quarterly antisub­marine warfare aircrews with Reserve Patrol Wings Atlantic and Pacific have 'been named for the period ending June 30.

From REDCOM 20

Combat aircrew 12 from Naval Reserve Patrol Squadron (VP) 68 was chosen top ASW crew in Reserve Patrol Wing, Atlantic and Crew Six with VP-90 was picked as leader in Reserve Patrol Wing Pacific.

SKCS Johnston Named to Army Academy

Commanders of both wings said the competition was keen. Both winning squadrons were presented with trophies.

SAN FRANCISCO -Naval Reserve Readiness Command Region 20 Senior Chief Storekeeper Burton (B.J.) Johnston has been selected as one offour Navymen to attend the Army Sergeants Major Academy at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Texas.

Of the four Navymen

chosen for the 45-member class, Senior Chief Johnston is the only TAR (Training and Administra­tion of Reserves) repre­sentative. The course begins in January 1982.

The academy's program is designed to provide an educational and intellec-

tually broadening exper­ience to senior noncom­missioned officers. It is concerned with the "whole­man" concept and involves military-oriented subjects and associated electives offered by local colleges.

The curriculum focuses on interpersonal commun­ications skills, leadership

'Gold-coated' Senior Chief Looks Ahead to Retirement

NEW ORLEANS - If ENCS David J. Valentine spends much more time in the Naval Reserve, there won't be room on his sleeve for any more "hash marks".

The 55-year-old senior chief engineman is on his ninth reenlistment but has no plans for a tenth.

"I have handled just about every job therc'ii to perform in my rating and spent 38 years of my life affiliated with the sea services in one form or another, It's been just a tremendous experience and I've enjoyed every minute of it," he said during a recent interview aboard the USS William C. Lawe (DD 763) while on active duty for training. "But it is time to step aside for some younger fellow and give him the opportunity to enjoy what 1 did."

He recently participated

ENCS Valentine .. ,II full oleeve

with Lawe on the annual Great Lakes Cruise.

When his Navy days are over, Valentine plans on devoting much time to teaching adult Sunday school. It's something he's thought about for many of those years in uniform.

VP·91 Crews

Super Bee Upgrading Includes Ocean 'Wetting Down' By

Nancy Dodge J02, USNR-R(TAR)

"Keep your eyes on the horizon, feet together and prepare for water entry." Those were the last words heard by the crewmen before plunging into the Pacific Ocean.

Each crew went through DWEST conducted at Fleet Aviation Specialized Operational Training Group, Pacific, NAS North Island, San Diego, Calif.

DWEST instructors stress the significance of emergency survival and rescue. Crewmen listened to lectures on equipment which would enhance their short-term survival. They were reacquainted with the parachute harness, flotation gear, anti-exposure suits, rafts equipped with survival equipment and other rescue and survival gear.

After a slide presentation on the aquatic portion of the training, VP-91 crew personnel suited up in swim clothes, wetsuits and parachutes and headed for the beach to witness a flare and signal mirror demonstration before boarding the mike boat.

The Deep Water Environmental Safety and Training (DWEST) was part of the requalifications for crewmembers of Patrol Squadron (VP) 91 transitioning into the P·3B model aircraft. More than 16 active and inactive duty Rese!'ve aircrewmen were involveP in i.he change-over which began in April. VP-91 , based at NAS Moffett Field, Calif., is the first Reserve patrol squadron to fly the new "Super Bee" model. (Naval Reservist News, May 1981)

Rescue procedures also were covered in the classroom briefings. Signaling devices were demon­strated ranging from transmitters to mirrors. "Signal equals Rescue" were the key words remembered by all.

The water was cold and choppy as the boats headed toward open water off North Island. Each man climbed to the . top of a 14-foot platform. After being hooked to the parachute-drag device, blue sky and buoys was all to be seen seconds before dropping into the water. Getting out of the parachute while being dragged behind the boat was the trick. The pick-up boat gathered up each studentonly to drop them back in the water fora helicopter rescue.

Geothermal Heat KEFLAVIK, IceJand

- The only geothennal heating facility in the Navy began operating in early October at the U.S.­manned NATO base here. This alternate source of energy will save almost 170,000 barrels of oil a year and is expected to cost about one-third what oil heat would cost.

ments to ships other than aircraft carriers); and exposure to highly toxic pesticides or laboratory work.

Minimum enlisted flight pay is raised to $83. Rates above that remain the same.

New diving pay entitle­ments became effective October 14. They include increased diving duty pay to a maximum of $300 for enlisted persons and $200 for officers. Also, a person receiving diving pay may qualify to receive one other type hazardous duty pay.

Submarine service officers with prior enlisted service have had their service years recomputed to 26 years of commissioned service instead of total service. And submarine crewmembers now receive sea pay while in off·crew status.

The accession bonus for surface nuclear officers is boosted from $3,000 to $6,000 effective October 14.

The new law also establishes a continuation bonus for engineering and scientific officers in certain critical shortages.

The pay act also includes significant increases in moving, emergency leave and temporary duty benefits.

Environmental and morale leave is another benefit under the new act. At certain isolated duty stations, service members and their dependents are authorized transportation from an overseas station to a "location offering respite" once during a continuous two-year tour

and twice during a three· year stay.

An amendment to an earlier provision now makes payment of per

diem, as well as BAS, mandatory during enlisted temporary duty except as provided by the service secretaries.

Finally, the new law authorizes 2,000 additional NROTC schularships in annual increments of 500 for fiscal 1982.
