As part of an effort to control the proliferation of Navy Web sites, the Navy directed that all web sites

consolidate with Echelon II command web sites. What does this mean?

For Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), it means that region and installation web sites will be incor-porated into a single CNIC Web site. For more than a year, Navy Regions and instal-lations have migrated their web sites into the CNIC Web site. The Web pages are divided into two distinct areas: “public” and “controlled access.”

Part of the driver for this change is an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo that prohibited all federal public web sites – including the Department of Defense – from posting employee informa-tion. This means information that is tar-geted toward internal audiences – active duty, reserves, civilian employees, retir-ees, and family members – is considered “employee information.”

Enter the new CNIC Web site. Remember how hard it was to find Information, Ticket and Tour prices? How about those spe-cial discounts the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Department offered for trips and tours? Lunch menu at your favor-ite on-base dining establishment? That information could not be posted because SECNAVINST 5720.44B – Navy Web Policy – prohibited any content on public Web sites that sold or promoted to sell any item or service.

How can our Navy family access this information? Via the “controlled access” portion of the CNIC Web site. Go to www.cnic.navy.mil, click on Log In at the upper right hand corner, enter the informa-tion requested, and your identification

will be validated and authorize access to anywhere on the site. The information in the “controlled access” area is only avail-able to “authorized patrons” – active duty, reserves, civilian employees, retirees and family members. The general public will only be able to access the public pages on the Web site.

The “controlled access” side can do more because it’s secured for authorized users. Since it’s not open to the general pub-lic, MWR, along with Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSC), can do more because the Navy’s Web Policy instruction applies to the public access pages. That means ticket prices, lunch specials, and more will be accessible to Sailors, Navy civilians, retirees and families. An effort is also underway to allow for e-commerce on controlled access Web pages (this is just getting started and may be 1-2 years before it’s available).

Visiting the CNIC Web site, viewers can access installations by clicking on the region Web page links, and then clicking on the link to their installation. The instal-lation Web pages will provide the detailed information on MWR and the FFSC.

All the information previously avail-able from the old region and installation Web sites is available on the new pages and much more. Visitors will find it easy to locate information on installation pages because the design of the pages is the same. Whether you are on the NAS Jacksonville page or the NAS North Island page, the format is identical making the search for information easier and effective.

The goal of the CNIC Web site is to be the Navy family’s single source for instal-lation information. No matter where you live or work, you can find what you need at www.cnic.navy.mil.

First Coast No More Homeless Pets is offering free or low-

cost spay and neuter pro-grams for cats and dogs on the First Coast.

One female dog and her offspring can produce as many at 4,000 dogs in just seven years. Even more staggering is that a female cat and her offspring can produce 40,000 cats in seven years. Another sad statistic is that 80 percent of all dogs hit by cars are un-neutered males.

“Our programs have resulted in a decrease in the number of pets enter-ing local shelters by 26 per-cent over the last five years, proof that spaying and neu-tering of pets makes a real difference,” said First Coast No More Homeless Pets Director Rick Du Charm.

First Coast No More Homeless Pets offer a way to save the lives of adopt-able pets. Florida is not a “no kill” state and over crowded shelters are forced to euthanize pets based on the high volume of home-less animals.

Fixing pets helps stop overpopulation, it keeps them healthier and helps them live longer. Fixed pets are also less likely to bite, less likely to roam, get in fights or become lost. Surgeries are done at several local veterinarian offices. Free rabies shots are included and pets must have a current rabies tag.

“The SpayJax program, partially funded by the city of Jacksonville, and our other programs are avail-able to help Duval County residents with low to medium incomes,” said Du Charm. “Next year’s budget

for SpayJax has been dra-matically cut and half the number of surgeries may be available, those needing assistance should call now.”

Duval residents can con-tact First Coast No More Homeless Pets for more information on qualifying for free or low-cost spay and neuter programs at the spay and neuter hotline at 425-0005.
