 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. These are your headlines from around the fleet. Sailors on temporary duty assignments 30 days or longer are encouraged to seek extended stay lodging due to a recent change to the joint travel regulations. The change involves moving to a flat rate per diem that will help save the Department of Defense more than $22 million a year. For more information on these changes, visit the Defense Travel website. The Navy is currently conducting a study to evaluate the size and shape of today's sailors. The last time the Navy completed a sizing survey was in the 1980s. The Navy plans to have experts measure the height, weight and dimensions of about 4,000 sailors split equally between male and female. The information gathered from this study could lead to updated and more comfortable uniforms, organizational clothing and personal protective equipment. The study will conclude in March 2015.
