 Hey guys, this week in the rundown, Sailors Overseas are encouraged to complete the COLA survey. Enlisted Sailors can earn their master's degree in Cyber Operations, and we have the latest on billet-based distribution. Sailors Station Overseas are encouraged to complete a Cost of Living Allowance, or COLA, Living Pattern Survey. The Volunteering Survey is conducted to track the shopping patterns of service members to determine the allowance paid to Sailors in their country of assignment. By completing the survey, you help provide accurate data on cost of living in your area. COLA helps maintain purchasing power so you can purchase about the same goods and services overseas as in CONUS. The survey is currently open to Sailors Station in Italy and Guam, and will be available for Sailors Station in Hawaii and Bahrain beginning February 1st. To find more information or to take the survey, go to www.defensetravel.dod.mil, click Overseas COLA under Travel Regulations and Allowances, and click Active Overseas COLA Surveys on the left. Be sure to check the survey date to ensure you don't miss the deadline for your region. Sailors E6 and above in the IT or CTN ratings can now apply to attend the Naval Postgraduate School to complete their Master's Degree in Cyber Operations. The Master's of Science in Applied Cyber Operations program is a 12-month program designed to improve the cyber capabilities of Sailors while establishing a more professional and stronger cyber workforce. Applicants must have a Bachelor's Degree to be considered and must acquire a Conditional Letter of Acceptance for NPS no later than March 14. Check out NavAdmin 013-16 on NPC to get the full details on eligibility. Finally, expect the NavAdmin to be released next week that details Billet-Based Distribution or BBD. The BBD initiative is designed to better match Sailors and their skills to billets across the fleet. In addition, BBD will replace the current personal system to create one that will better manage and align personnel. Next week, we'll plan to talk with Fleet Master Chief Beldo who will provide insights on the capabilities and benefits of BBD. Stay tuned to their rundown for the latest on that. Well, that's all for this week. For any questions, send us a message at usnpeople at gmo.com. For the Chief of Naval Personnel, I'm MC2 L.J. Burleson. Thanks for watching.
