HIGH FIVE: Hard work from last year pays off


From Page 2


I've never met a Sailor who
didn't like a boss who
knew them by name and
would stop them and talk
to them about their lives.
 Sailors, and people in
general, want to be recog-
nized for their work and
contributions and when a
boss takes the time to
show them appreciation, it
is always a benefit.
 Bottom line: When we


lose one great Sailor, it is a
loss for our whole Navy.
And maybe if we took the
time to just show a little
more appreciation, there
would be one more reason
for our Sailors to stay
Navy.
 We've got a challenging
2006 ahead .of us and
between Fleet Thompson
and myself, we will try to
cover the challenges over
the next few weeks.
 But if there is a particu-


lar subject you would like
for us to comment on just
let us know.
 Keep up the great work
and continue to share your
"best practices" with the
force master chiefs, so we
can get them out fleet
wide.
 We are doing lots of
great things, and it's a
shame to keep those great
things only within your
command. Keep working
hard!


and any items which improve visibili-
ty.
 Presentations or displays that pro-
mote proper safety merchandise fea-
tures and uses are highly desired.
For more information on sponsorship,
please contact MWR Marketing
Director Shannon Leonard at 542-
3577 or email Shannon.d.Leonard@
navy.mil.
