 Welcome to All Hands Update. Here's what's happening around your Navy. The ID Eisenhower carrier strike group entered the US Sixth Fleet area of operations in support of European allies and coalition partners for routine deployment. Eisenhower along with USS Roosevelt and USS San Jacinto transited the Suez Canal after five months of providing air support operations in the fight against ISIL and the Arabian Gulf. The Navy released Navadman 259-16 to inform sailors of their eligibility to opt in to the blended retirement system. The Navy also plans to send emails to eligible sailors notifying them with the retirement system choices they may have to make. To view the Navadman, visit the NPC website. Naval Supply Systems Command reminds sailors of the holiday mailing dates for your cards, letters, and packages. Those pre-December 25th dates are quickly approaching. To view the full list of dates and deadlines, visit the United States Postal Service website. You can read more about what's happening around your Navy at navy.mil.
