 Welcome to the rundown. Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson has selected Fleet Master Chief Russell Smith to serve as the 15th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. Master Chief Smith had been performing the duties of McPond along with his previous role as Fleet Master Chief for Manning, Personnel, Training and Education since late June. Congratulations, McPond Smith. The Navy has announced the immediate termination of the reduced flat rate per diem for temporary duty and a recent nav admin. This affects all Navy personnel on TA duty orders for over 30 days. The previous reduction to 75 or 55 percent of the locality rate was terminated August 13th with the signing of the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. That's all for this week.
