SUMMARY
This chapter introduces the Navy’s people programs
that address quality of life issues.
The main thrust of these programs is to help the
Navy reach its goal of sustained combat readiness and
capability using all its human potential.
By design, the various programs give all Navy
personnel the chance to develop their capabilities to the
maximum. In turn, this maximum development promotes
sound leadership and strengthens the chain of command.
The entire Navy benefits when people perform at their
best.
In this chapter you studied the following programs:
The Personal Excellence Program—Encourages
adherence to and support of education, health/fitness,
citizenship, and personal excellence partnerships.
The Family Support Program—Provides
information, resources, and services to support and
enrich the lives of Navy families as well as single
members.
The Equal Opportunity Program—Guarantees
impartial treatment for all and eliminates unlawful
discrimination, thereby creating a favorable climate for
maintaining high morale, discipline, and readiness.
The Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program—
Stresses that alcohol and drug abuse costs lost labor
hours and unnecessary administrative and judicial
processing. The abuse of alcohol and drugs weakens a
person's combat readiness, safety, discipline, judgment,
and loyalty. Zero tolerance stresses that there is no
toleration of alcoholism and drug abuse in the Navy.
The Health and Physical Readiness Program—
Every Navy member should strive to achieve and
maintain the highest standard of physical readiness to
ensure operational effectiveness in the Navy.
The Military Cash Awards Program—Provides
for payment of cash incentives based on the amount of
money saved by a suggestion to reduce costs and
improve productivity in the Navy, Department of
Defense, and other federal government operations.
The Family Housing Program—Assures
military members that suitable housing is available for
them and their families. Construction authority for
military housing occurs when the civilian housing market
cannot meet military personnel needs.
