3-6 to complete a Family Care Plan Certificate, NAVPERS 1740/6,  which  provides  a  plan  for  dependent  care arrangements. The plan must include details, such as who will provide care for the children during the parent’s normal duty hours, temporary additional duty (TAD) assignments, and deployments, as well as other pertinent information. The parent also must provide a will with guardianship  provisions  and  a   power   of   attorney authorizing    medical    care.    OPNAVINST    1740.4, Department of the Navy Family Care Policy, outlines the  family  care  plan  and  specifies  the  information parents must include on the certificate. Some people worry that their status as a single parent may hurt their Navy career, but this simply is not true. As long as parents keep an up-to-date family-care certificate in their record, they have no limits on what they can achieve. Parenting in the Navy is not easy, but an understanding of Navy policy can help a Sailor’s career run smoothly. Parents should realize the Navy expects them to accept full responsibility for the care of their children as well as their job requirements. Casualty Assistance Calls The broad purpose of the Casualty Assistance Calls Program (CACP) is to offer support to the next of kin of Navy members involved in a casualty. The Navy seeks to  accomplish  this  through  personal  visits  by  a uniformed  Navy   representative   called   a   casualty assistance calls officer (CACO). Only an officer with a minimum of 2 years of active duty or a qualified senior enlisted member of pay grade E-7 or above may serve as a CACO. Persons given the task of CACO normally assume this responsibility as their primary duty; it takes precedence over all assigned duties. The CACP offers support in the following ways:    Assuring the next of kin of the Navy’s interest in their well-being    Showing concern for members reported missing while the search for them is underway    Extending sympathy in the case of death    Helping survivors adjust to situations imposed upon them by a tragic circumstance REVIEW 2 QUESTIONS Q1.
