The 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative focuses on five areas: readiness, safety, physical fitness, inclusion, and continuum of service. Sexual assault prevention is an important part of readiness. The initiative aims to establish a culture free of sexual assault through prevention, support for victims, and accountability for offenders. Smartphone applications are being used to help Sailors manage stress, including apps that teach breathing techniques and mood tracking. Recent examples highlight the importance of physical fitness in the Navy, such as a Sailor who has lost over 40 pounds during a deployment and another competing in triathlons after improving his fitness. Resources for operational stress control and transition assistance are available to support Sailors.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress.

2. March 5 brought the announcement of the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative from SECNAV.
The initiative combines existing objectives and policies with a few new ones. Divided into five areas;
readiness, safety, physical fitness, inclusion, and continuum of service, the program reminds us all of the
importance our personnel have in the overall operations of the Navy.
Readiness
• Reduce suicides and manage stress by providing Sailors and Marines with the support network, health
care, and skills needed to overcome adversity and training leaders to recognize when Sailors and
Marines need help.
• Curb alcohol abuse and reduce the number of alcohol related incidents which can end careers and some
times end lives.
• Reinforce the Department’s zero tolerance policy on the use of synthetic chemical compounds or
designer drugs, including synthetic marijuana substances like Spice.
• Aggressively prevent sexual assaults from occurring, support sexual assault victims, and hold offenders
accountable. The 21st Century Sailor and Marine will not tolerate any form of sexual assault.
Safety
• Improve motorcycle safety by closing the training gap with Military Sportbike Rider Course (MSRC).
Physical Fitness
• Move from a “culture of testing” to a culture of physical readiness by strengthening PRT requirements
and providing better nutrition options.
• NOFFS smart phone App now available.
Inclusion
• Increase the diversity of ideas, experiences, areas of expertise, and backgrounds necessary to fulfill the
variety of missions asked of us.
Continuum of Service
• Recruit Sailors once and retain them for life through flexible service options that provide opportunities
for meaningful and valued work across a career whether in the Navy Reserves or in the civilian
workforce.
• Provide tools for life after the Navy to Wounded Warriors and those impacted by force-management
actions.
The Navy cannot afford to lose the skill and talent Sailors bring to the fight because our people are DoN’s
most important asset. 21st Century will help the fleet build resiliency to hone the most combat effective
force in the history of the Department.
3. BLUF: April may have been Sexual Assault Awareness Month,
but focus on the issue does not stop.
Readiness is the first of the main focus areas in the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, and elimi-
nating sexual assault from our force is an important part of maintaining a ready Navy and Marine Corps
team. One attack can have ramifications across the command, the Fleet, and families and friends of those
involved. Prevention is the main goal. Sexual assault is a crime and saps both individuals and organiza-
tions of their strength.
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) office oversees the Department of Defense sexual
assault policy. Their vision statement is “to enable military readiness by establishing a culture free of
sexual assault.” Utilizing their guidance and free information is of the highest priority, and from E-1 to
O-10, this knowledge is irreplaceable.
Sexual assault prevention Helpline phone numbers are listed on every DoN website, making available a
trained crisis support specialists 24/7. More information and resources are available at safehelpline.org.
Also, the Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office has teamed with Central
Michigan University’s ‘No Zebras, No Excuses’ production this summer to raise sexual assault awareness
around the Fleet.
Central Michigan University’s ‘No Zebras, No Excuses’ performance group dates:
June 18-21 Kaneohe and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
July 16-17 Yokosuka, Japan
July 19-20 Okinawa, Japan
July 31-Aug 4 Great Lakes, Ill.
Aug 9 Port Hueneme, Calif.
Aug 10 Point Mugu, Calif.
Aug 13-14 San Diego
Aug 15 on board USS Boxer (LHD 4)
Aug 16-17 and Camp Pendleton, Calif.
4. BLUF: 21st Century means 21st Century.
There’s an app for that.
Research by the Navy Personnel Research Studies and Technology (NPRST) laboratory
shows positive findings backing smartphone applications in the Navy.
Two applications, “Tactical Breather” and “Mood Tracker”, are both
government-sponsored stress apps. “Tactical Breather” teaches how to
correct breathing methods to help better control ones heart rate. “Mood
Tracker” aides an individual in self-monitoring emotional
experiences with common deployment-related behavioral health
issues such as post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety.
NAVADMIN 176/12 discusses tools to regain balance in the
presence of stress.
Continuing to embrace technology, NAVADMIN 169/12 introduces
the Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling Series (NOFFS) iPhone
app. NOFFS provides the Navy with “Best in Class” physical fitness
and nutrition information for Sailors and with the new app, access to this
program is greater than ever. The app provides Sailors with the complete
NOFFS program in a convenient format.
The app is currently available for download from the app store for iPhone
and iTouch and will soon be open to Windows and Android based
smartphones.

5. BLUF: PT ... Good for you ...
Good for me!
Physical fitness is a large facet to the readiness,
safety, and well-being of our Navy which ties
it securely to 21st Century Sailor and Marine.
Motivated by pant size and competition, two
Sailors have made news recently for their
standards in physical fitness.
Walking into a store for size 34 pants but
leaving with 36 just doesn’t sit well with some
people and Petty Officer First Class Matt
Mlachak, of Norfolk Naval Shipyard, is one of
them. Fast-forward 18 months and Mlachak
has competed in a half-dozen
PO1 Matt Mlachak, triathlon guru. triathlons and is now set to compete in the
World Long Course Championships in Spain
this July.
Petty Officer Second Class Derek England, of the USS
Elrod (FFG 55), has lost 41-pounds and counting during
the ship’s current deployment. Thrown into success by
his motivation to both workout and eat well, England is
quickly leaving his competitors in the command’s “Biggest
Loser” competition behind. His success has been so
pronounced he received a congratulatory email from Assis-
tant Secretary of the Navy, The Honorable Juan M. Garcia,
III. England has plans to continue his healthy lifestyle at
home, together with his wife, who has now joined a gym.
These are two outstanding examples of success in
fitness, but they are not the only ones. Whether it is a mile
walked, numerous weights lifted, or a racquetball match
played, anything you do in a given day that requires
physical excretion is a success.

6. BLUF: The Voluntary Sea Duty program is available until
Sept. 30, 2012, to help shape your career.
Announced in NAVADMIN 043/12, Navy established Voluntary Sea Duty Program for
highly trained and motivated Sailors to fill critical billets at sea in support of Navy’s
global mission. Under the program, Sailors may apply to extend their enlistment in their
current sea duty billet beyond their prescribed sea tour, terminate their shore duty early in
order to extend their enlistment to obtain new orders to a sea duty billet, or accept back-
to-back sea duty orders. The sea duty assignment may be on board ships, squadrons, or
other qualified sea duty assignments.
Volunteers will be assigned to commands within the same geographic location as the cur-
rent command if available, providing the benefit of geographic stability for Sailors and
family members. The Navy will also consider Sailors’ request for out-of-area moves.
Sailors accepted into VSDP will be able to defer their Perform-to-Serve (PTS) window
to the minimum obligated service requirement for the orders negotiated, typically 24
months.
Eligibility criteria for PTS deferment is outlined in the NAVADMIN. VSDP also provides
Sailors a chance to improve their records and increase their competitive edge through sus-
tained superior performance at sea. Volunteers will not be required to accept a billet they
do not desire. The detailers will work with volunteers during two CMS/ID cycles to find
desirable orders. If no match is found during this time period, Sailors can reapply.
This program does not change eligibility or benefits for the Sea Duty Incentive Pay
Program and Sailors may take advantage of both programs concurrently. Requests will be
accepted until Sep. 30, 2012. All 1306/7 requests should be forwarded to Navy Personnel
Command via the Chain of Command. For complete information on eligibility, restric-
tions and application procedures as well as benefits for VSDP, read NAVADMIN 043/12
at the NPC website and speak with your command career counselor.
7. BLUF: Operational Stress Control
Mobile Training Teams are free
and ready to assist the fleet.
Continuing focus on providing resources for 21st Century Sailors, the Navy has developed
two Operational Stress Control Mobile Training Teams (OSC MTT) to
support the Fleet.
According to NAVADMIN 150/12, the OSC MTTs will deliver
OSC Leader and OSC Front Line Supervisor training to Navy
commands. The teams have been positioned on the East and
West Coasts to provide quick responses to requests for
training. The OSC Leader course is designed for unit
wardrooms and chief petty officer messes, while the OSC
Front Line Supervisor course focuses on helping E-6 to O-3
deckplate leaders develop skills to recognize and address
stress in their Sailors.
Commanders, commanding officers, and command master chiefs
are encouraged to request training for their wardrooms and messes
prior to beginning a deployment work-up period. The MTTs travel and
train at no cost to the requesting command. Procedures for requesting training are in the NAVADMIN.
BLUF: Check your prescriptions now.
The Navy added two more commonly abused prescription drugs to the standard testing panel during
random urinalysis, according to NAVADMIN 130/12. The prescription drug families tested will now
include benzodiazepines and hydrocodones (i.e. Xanax and Vicodin). Military members should ensure
their prescriptions are properly documented in their health
records. Navy medical treatment facilities are ready to assist
any Sailor or family member who self-refers for prescription
drug misuse or abuse. Per OPNAVINST 5350.4D, Sailors
whose urinalysis samples are identified positive for controlled
substances for which they do not have a valid prescription
may be subject to punishment under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice and processed for administrative separation
from the Navy. For more news from Navy Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Prevention (NADAP), read the Navy.mil article or
visit www.npc.navy.mil/support/nadap.
8. BLUF: Review this NAVADMIN and
find $$ upon reenlistment.
The Navy released an updated Selective
Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) award plan
in NAVADMIN 143/12. SRBs are an incentive used
to retain those Sailors who attain special training
in skills most critical to current needs and mission
requirements.
The new message approves six increases, three
additions, one deletion, and one skill that is
being moved from Tier 2 to Tier 1. Cryptologic
Technician Interpretive (NEC 9ARB) in Zone
B, Information Systems Technician (NEC 0000)
in Zone B and submarine Machinist Mate
Auxiliary Maintenance (NEC 4230/31) in Zone
A were new to the SRB list this cycle. Navy Diver
(NEC 5343) Zone A awards were removed.
Enlisted Community Managers continuously monitor
the health of their community making recommendations to
leadership, as required, to maintain acceptable manning levels.

BLUF: Planning for PTS and ECTP Sailors transitioning to SELRES is crucial.
NAVADMIN 179/12 provides guidance on
the new transition process for Active
Component (AC) and Full Time Support
(FTS) Sailors approved for Selected Reserve
(SELRES) via Perform-to-Serve (PTS) or
Early Career Transition Program (ECTP). In
order to receive NPC issued orders Sailors
must complete the following steps at least 60
days prior to transition date:
• Log on to CMS/ID and select a Navy
Operational Support Center (NOSC) nearest
to area they intend to reside after enlistment.
• Complete a reserve affiliation screening checklist and contact information sheet then forward
them to the Career Transition Office (CTO) at cto.enlisted@navy.mil or via fax (901) 874-2186.
Further details can be found in the NAVADMIN or in the Navy.mil story.
9. BLUF: Appointments at PSD just got a little easier.
RAPIDS Self-Service (RSS) is now available to CAC holders. RSS is a website that
allows CAC holders to update their information and verify family members for DoD ID
card reissuance.
Using this web based application, CAC holders have the ability to update certain information associated
with their record. Additionally, they may use RSS to verify a family member’s relationship and eligibility
by digitally signing the DD Form 1172-2 for ID card reissuance.
A DD Form 1172-2 that is digitally-signed and generated through RSS will be stored in DEERS and is a
viewable document in RAPIDS. Once verified using RSS, Sponsors no longer need to accompany their
family members to get the ID card.
When a family member arrives at an ID card site, the DEERS/RAPIDS operator may view the signed
1172-2 by opening the Sponsor’s record. In order to use the RSS website, one must be a Sponsor with a
DoD CAC and have a CAC enabled personal computer.
Sponsors that are Common Access Card Holders may access RAPIDS Self Service (RSS) at:
https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/self_service/
BLUF: Resources for Command Pass Coordinators now online.
A new website has been launched which was specifically created to assist Command Pass Coordinators
(CPCs). The CPC serves as the critical link between an individual Sailor, his or her command, and the
supporting Personnel Support organization (PSD, CSD or NOSC).
It is the CPC’s responsibility to ensure all documents and information required to provide command
Pay/Personnel and Transportation support are relayed to the appropriate supporting organization via the
current authorized electronic transaction system and in accordance with applicable policies governing
timeliness standards.
The new website has step-by-step guides to obtaining access to the systems CPCs need, completing
common tasks, and additional resources regarding allotments, deductions, EDVR management, updating
ESRs, and more. Click on the ‘new website’ hyperlink and get in there and explore the recently added
resources.
10. BLUF: NAVADMIN 145/12 is hot.
Get ahead of the PCS moving
process by using HEAT
(Housing Early Application Tool).
HEAT is a computer-based program to assist Sailors
and their families in applying for housing Navy-
wide. It allows Sailors and their families to begin the
application process for housing before or after they
receive their PCS orders and communicate with the
Housing Service Center (HSC) early in the housing
search. HEAT can be accessed from any internet-
connected computer allowing either the Sailor or spouse to initiate the HEAT application. Roll-out of the
service to the entire Fleet is scheduled to be completed by June 30.
For more information Sailors and their families have multiple options:

BLUF: Increase fleet alcohol education and awareness.
U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFF) launched a beta test May 23, to obtain
Fleet feedback that will help determine the most effective approach for
implementation of a Navy-wide alcohol Breathalyzer program.
The 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative outlines the Navy-
wide Breathalyzer program as a way to increase fleet alcohol
education and awareness and to provide commanders
withanother tool to ensure the health and safety of Sailors
by identifying potential alcohol abuse.
USFF has selected 13 sea and shore commands to
participate in the beta test, which runs from May 24
through Sept. 30. All data collected will be consolidated
under a summary recommendation and forwarded to the office
of the Navy’s Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) to be
considered for implementation into the final policy.
Under the Navy program, the Breathalyzer will be used primarily as an
education and prevention tool. Breathalyzer results alone will not be used
as the sole evidentiary basis for punitive or adverse administrative action.
