 If you're enrolled in the exceptional family member program or EFMP, you need to check your enrollment status. More than 25% of enrolled family members have an expired status, which causes delays in the assignment process. Go to navyfamily.navy.mil to check your enrollment status. The program is mandatory for family members identified with medical or special educational requirements. EFMP also helps the Navy ensure sailors are only stationed in areas where their family members can receive the appropriate level of care and treatment for their physical, mental, emotional, or educational needs. As of December 1st, there were more than 14,000 service members with exceptional family members. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Amara Timberlake.
