This document discusses the concept of "Running Rust" which proposes that small problems in a navy ship or neighborhood, if left unaddressed, can combine to create larger issues over time that negatively impact the entire organization or community. The author argues that while individual issues may seem minor, allowing them to persist without correction can spread poor perceptions and conditions in the same way that ignoring a small spot of rust allows corrosion to spread. The document urges leaders to address even small problems promptly to prevent the spread of "Running Rust" and foster a culture of excellence.
The document summarizes several changes and updates from the Navy Personnel Command. The Perform to Serve system for reenlistment will now consider additional factors like PRIMS data, warfare qualifications, and misconduct history. Sailors are encouraged to ensure their eligibility data is correct and to list secondary rating options to improve their chances of retaining. Service members are also reminded to keep their DEERS and Page 2 beneficiary information updated after life changes to maintain benefits. Leave accrual limits were extended until 2013 and selective reenlistment bonus approvals must match exactly to date and term to receive full entitlement.
This document provides a summary of various Navy updates and information. It begins by discussing the importance of social media and sharing best practices across the Navy. It then provides links to resources for sailors to manage their personnel information and careers. It also provides information on Perform to Serve successes in allowing sailors to change rates, the Selective Reenlistment Bonus update, and increased support for families with special needs members through the Exceptional Family Member Program.

Bill Darney was a commander who was questioning his career when he came to Newport. He began impersonating senior officers and sneaking into places he shouldn't in an attempt to advance his career. After failing at various exploits, he turned to alcohol and made a mistake by kissing the commanding officer's wife while drunk, landing himself in the brig. However, the commanding officer saw potential for redemption in Darney and arranged for his professional development. Darney has since reformed, no longer impersonates others, gets along with colleagues, and is focused on his job.

Summer Safety/Labor Day Weekend Update
“Labor Day weekend is on the horizon, and it’s time to enjoy one last blast of summer. Whether you spend the long
weekend at the beach, in the mountains, or just relaxing with family and friends, remember to practice solid risk
management. Our Navy and nation will need everyone back at work Tuesday morning.”
– Rear Adm. Arthur J. Johnson, Commander, Naval Safety Center
Labor Day Safety Statistics
• Last Labor Day weekend, there were 42 mishaps in the Navy. Most were relatively minor, but two proved fatal.
One third class petty officer was killed when his car struck a tree, and another young Sailor died in his barracks
room after a night of drinking.
• Since 2005, a total of six Sailors have died during the Labor Day weekend holidays. Many more have been injured.
• Current statistics show that Sailors have been practicing risk management, and the end of summer holiday is not
statistically more dangerous than other weekends.
• The exception to this has been motorcycles. Based on an average of the last five years, nearly twice as many
Sailors are killed on motorcycles during the Labor Day weekend than on a typical weekend. However, there were
no motorcycle fatalities last Labor Day weekend, moving the trend in the right direction.
Labor Day Weekend Safety Tips
• Summer might be ending, but attempting to cram too many activities or too many risk factors into one weekend
can lead to problems.
• If on or near the water, make sure you know how to swim. Keep a close eye on children; it only takes a few
minutes, and as little as an inch of water, for a child to drown.
• Alcohol diminishes your vision, depth perception and coordination. Avoid alcohol when participating in water
sports, athletics, or driving a vehicle. Drink alcohol in moderation.
• When riding a motorcycle, make sure to wear all the gear, all the time. Proper personal protective equipment is a
requirement year round, on or off base.
• If traveling out of the area by car, fill out a Travel Risk Planning System (TRiPS) report. TRiPS can be accessed at
www.nko.navy.mil. The online assessment will help identify possible risk factors when traveling, as well as
determine ways to mitigate those risks. Be sure to check car tire pressure and fluid levels prior to a long trip.
• Labor Day barbeques are popular. Make sure grills are in good working order, well-ventilated and away from
homes and other structures.
• Summer sports cause numerous minor injuries every year. Last Labor Day weekend, 12 Sailors were injured
participating in sporting activities. Be careful while enjoying recreational sports.
