MARCH 13, 2017, SAN DIEGO (NNS) – Naval Supply Systems Command Global Logistics Support (NAVSUP GLS) Household Goods (HHG) added 15 more 2017 move webinars to its series of live, interactive webinars that assist Sailors and their families in facilitating military moves, March 10.
The total number of webinars offered since Jan. 10 is 65, up from the original 50 scheduled early this year.
“Due to popular demand, we made the strategic decision to increase the number of live webinars we are offering in order to better accommodate our Sailors and their families’ schedules,” said Deborah McGlennon, NAVSUP GLS HHG program manager.
In addition to the HHG webinar schedule, NAVSUP GLS is offering customized webinars for individual commands which have a mass of 20 or more Sailors moving within the same three to six month window through the rest of the calendar year.
“We are very customer service-oriented; if there is a need and a demand, we’ll develop customized webinars for individual commands who are interested in receiving them,” said McGlennon.
Commands interested in receiving customized webinars should contact Deloma Miley via email at deloma.miley1@navy.mil.
The webinars, part of an ongoing effort to help educate Sailors and their families of the HHG process in order to make moves go smoothly, cover moves which are part of a permanent change of station (PCS), a retirement, or separation orders.
The webinars, available via personal phone, tablet, and computer — including government computers — are scheduled from now through June, during peak HHG season.
“This is a terrific initiative for our members, families, and partner organizations,” said Paul Brown, director of warfighter and family readiness for NAVSUP GLS.
“It provides our customers with valuable knowledge and support — each person can attend at a time and location convenient for them,” said Brown. “This service is interactive, tailored and flexible, and is well designed for the needs of our members and today’s environment.”
