Your Help Is Needed!
Since the computer crash a couple of months ago I have had problems getting the word out of happenings on the site to everyone.
Please help me out!
I have cut down on the amount of e-mails sent out to three or four a month to avoid over informing.
If you have not received any announcements for two or three months then you are not on my mailing list and are being left out. To avoid this please take a moment to contact me and update your e-mail address.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Take Action Now!
We are on the verge of loosing some of our health benefits if we do not act now.
The Federal Government is proposing changes to our health care by reducing our Tricare benefits causing us to have less coverage and have to pay some costly co-pays.
Please take the time to view the e-mail from NERA and the document showing the proposal by the Federal Government.

Military retired?
Nearing Age 60?
Facts you should be aware of....
You are responsible for obtaining your Retirement Package, completing all the forms and submitting your Retirement Package to the Navy Personnel Command 6 months prior to reaching the age of 60.
This process takes several months to complete.
To ensure you will be receiving your retirement checks at age 60 you need to complete all the ground work which should begin at age 59 1/2.
Also at age 60 you need to contact DEERS to obtain you and your spouses ID's
I have outlined the step-by-step process which can be viewed by clicking here.
Don't get caught short.
Your checks
arriving on a timely basis
depends on your action
at the appropriate time!
Also you will want to locate any supporting documentation you still have such as Point Capture Sheets and organizing this data and keeping in a secure place where you can readily lay your hands upon if needed to support your claim well in advance of becoming 60 years old.

DD-214 On line
It's official; DD-214's are NOW Online.
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online:
http://vetrecs.archives.gov/
This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his
DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records centers mailroom and processing time.
Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know and their dependents.

This Website is Dedicated to all our Men and Women who are still Serving their Country with special emphasis to those who are serving in hostile areas of the world.
Detachment 716 salutes you.
When I first started this website it was intended to be simply a place where memories could be posted, a place where former Subase Pearl Detachment 716 shipmates could go to look at photos of people they shared a good portion of their lives with and read stories of events long past. It has become that and more.

Retired Reserve Pay Computation
The retired pay for a member who elects transfer to the Retired Reserve is computed using the average monthly basic pay rate to which the member would have been entitled at the highest grade satisfactorily held, had the member been on active duty during the entire period of the member's high 36 months. In most cases, this would be the average basic pay rate in effect for the member at ages 57, 58, and 59. The formula to compute the retired pay is as follows:
1. Divide all points credited in all years by 360 to convert the points into years of service, including fractions;
2. take the average of the last 36 months of monthly basic pay for the member's grade and length of service at the time the member becomes entitled to receive retired pay - age 60 (remember to include longevity increases while a member of the Retired Reserve);
3. multiply that rate by 2.5 percent of the years of service (up to a maximum of 30 years of service) computed in (1) above.
Sounds simple enough <grin>. Hey, I didn't write it, I copied it from an official site.
