P&PC By Norm Hauser, Chair Policy and Procedures Committee
A work group of the Policy and Procedures Committee (P&PC) met on Monday, January 13. We continued to discuss the rental policies as we pulled out operationsspecific details. Kayo Armstrong, our Executive Director, provided her suggested format for a revised rental policy in hard copy. This document was reviewed at length and after changes agreed to during the meeting were made by Kayo, she provided an electronic copy to committee members for further review. The rental policy that will emerge as a final recommendation to the board will govern the “what” and “why” and will be a simple statement of just what our community wants to have controlled when Woodbridge facilities are being rented. The “how” will be left to our staff. That “how” will include the development and use of any specific forms, such as contracts or agreements, the specifications related to any security needs, the setting of any fees that may be deemed necessary, and the many other details that will be needed to actually implement the Rental Policy.

I’d given him (for agreeing it was OK to die) was a trip to “visit the Navy in San Diego.” I emailed my friend and former Marine sergeant, Mrs. Mandy McCammon, who’s currently serving as a Navy Public Affairs Officer, at midnight on 28 May. I asked Mandy if she had enough pull on any of the bases in San Diego to get me access for the day so I could give Bud, who served on USS Dewey (DD-349), a windshield tour. The next day she sent me an email from the current USS Dewey (DDG 105)’s XO, CDR Mikael Rockstad, inviting us down to the ship two days later. As is so typical of the U.S. Armed Forces, what happened next went
As always, requests for changes in the detailed administration of Policy and Procedure directives may be directed to Norm Hauser the Executive Director by email or during monthly Executive Director input sessions. Comments may also be made directly to the board during the residents’ open input portion of any regular board meeting. All residents are encouraged to attend committee and open work group meetings. Early in every meeting, we ask residents in attendance to give voice to their ideas or concerns. Your input is important and, after all, you will be living with the end product of our discussions and the resulting board policies. We continue to seek the participation of residents in our various meetings. We have openings for members on the committee and encourage residents to bring their varied talents to the table by applying for and joining our group. The Policy and Procedures Committee will meet next at 2 p.m., February 10, (the second Monday of the month).

beyond expectations. We linked up with Mandy outside Naval Base San Diego and carpooled to the pier where we were greeted by CMDCM Joe Grgetich and a squadsized group of sailors. Bud started to cry before the doors of the van opened. He’d been oohing and pointing at the cyclic rate as we approached the pier, but when we slowed down and Mandy said, “They’re all here for you, Bud,” he was overwhelmed. After we were all out of the van directly in front of the Dewey, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Petty Officer Simon introduced himself and said, as the ship’s Sailor of the Year, he had the honor of pushing Bud’s wheelchair for the day. Unbeknownst to us, they’d decided
