SUBJ: DISTRICT SEVEN DRIVER SAFETY CAMPAIGN
1. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THE SEVENTH DISTRICT HAS THE HIGHEST
DRIVING FATALITY RATE OF ANY OTHER DISTRICT IN THE COAST GUARD;
THIS IS MORE THAN REGRETTABLE, IT IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. I
THEREFORE CHARGE EACH MEMBER OF OUR DISTRICT FAMILY TO MAKE DRIVER
SAFETY A PRIORITY IN THEIR DAILY LIVES. TODAY IN A STEP TOWARDS
THIS EFFORT, I PERSONALLY LAUNCHED THE DISTRICT SEVEN DRIVER SAFETY
CAMPAIGN AT ISC AND SECTOR MIAMI.
2. THE SEVENTH DISTRICT DRIVING SAFETY CAMPAIGN INCLUDES A SERIES
OF TRAINING EVENTS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS DESIGNED TO RAISE AWARENESS
OF THIS CRITICAL ISSUE TO ALL COAST GUARD MEMBERS IN THE D7 AOR. IN
ADDITION TO THIS TRAINING, A VARIETY OF SUPPORT MATERIALS, TALKING
POINTS, TRAINING GUIDES, SAFETY OFFICER AND CDAR CONTACT
INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE D7 DRIVING SAFETY CAMPAIGN WEBSITE
AT: HTTP://CGWEB.LANT.USCG.MIL/D7/D7PORTAL/DRIVESAFE/INDEX.HTM.
3. A KEY ELEMENT TO THIS CAMPAIGN IS THE STREET SMART DRIVER
SAFETY TRAINING THAT I ATTENDED TODAY. THIS VALUABLE TRAINING WILL
BE PROVIDED FOR ALL D7 UNITS DURING FY08 THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF MLC
AND THE "DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN" CAMPAIGN. STREET SMART IS AN
INTERACTIVE PROGRAM PROVIDED BY FLORIDA-BASED EMTS, FEATURING
PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF REAL-LIFE TRAUMA INCIDENTS. THIS
GRAPHIC, 90-MINUTE PRESENTATION UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF
MAKING RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS WITH RESPECT TO ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
AND SEAT BELT USE. WHEN THE STREET SMART TRAINING BECOMES AVAILABLE
IN YOUR AREA, I EXPECT UNIT COMMANDERS, COS AND OINCS TO MAKE THIS
A MANDATORY TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR PERSONNEL.
4. ACCIDENT ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT THE MAIN CAUSES OF FATAL MOTOR
VEHICLE ACCIDENTS INCLUDE FAILURE TO UTILIZE SEATBELTS, SPEED,
ALCOHOL, INEFFECTIVE USE OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING TECHNIQUES, AND
FATIGUE. FURTHER ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE TYPICAL COAST GUARD
MEMBER KILLED IN MOTORCYCLE OR CAR ACCIDENTS IS BETWEEN THE AGES OF
18 AND 31, IS MALE, IS A MEMBER OF A SMALL UNIT, AND IS IN AN OFF-
DUTY STATUS. WHEN IT COMES TO OPERATING A VEHICLE, YOU ARE NEVER
OFF-DUTY. YOU MUST BE PROACTIVE, YOU MUST LEAD BY EXAMPLE, AND YOU
MUST FOSTER A CULTURE OF DOING THE RIGHT THING, REGARDLESS OF RANK
OR RATE. AS THE DISTRICT COMMANDER I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE PERSONAL
SAFETY OF EACH MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF YOUR
LOVED ONES. I NEED YOU TO BE SAFE AS DO YOUR FAMILIES - IT'S THAT
SIMPLE.
6. THE LEAD POC FOR THE STREET SMART TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE "DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN" CAMPAIGN IS: LT KIMBERLY

SUBJ: BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR HOUSING (BAH) DATA COLLECTION PROCESS
1. HOUSING ALLOWANCES FOR THE UNIFORMED SERVICES ARE DETERMINED BY
THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (SECDEF) USING AN OBJECTIVE, SCIENTIFIC
RENTAL MARKET SURVEY OF HOUSING DATA. RUNZHEIMER INTERNATIONAL
(RZI) OF ROCHESTER, WISCONSIN, UNDER CONTRACT TO SECDEF, ASSISTS IN
THE COLLECTION OF THE HOUSING MARKET DATA. UNDER SECDEF DIRECTION,
RZI WILL WORK DIRECTLY WITH LOCAL HOUSING OFFICES TO COLLECT RENTAL
MARKET HOUSING DATA FOR EACH MILITARY HOUSING AREA (MHA). COAST
GUARD PARTICIPATION IN THIS DATA COLLECTION IS REQUIRED.
2. NO LATER THAN 15 FEB 2008, RZI WILL E-MAIL ALL MILITARY HOUSING
OFFICES (MHOS) PASSWORDS TO RZIS WEB SITE (WWW.BAH.RUNZHEIMER.COM).
THIS PASSWORD WILL GIVE MHOS ACCESS TO RZIS BAH DATA COLLECTION
INSTRUCTION PACKAGE, WHICH CONTAINS GUIDANCE FROM THE SECDEF
DIRECTOR OF COMPENSATION AND COMDT (CG-12) DESCRIBING THE DATA
COLLECTION PROCESS USED TO DETERMINE THE 2009 BAH RATES.
3. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MHOS WILL ENTER DATA THROUGH MHO WEB.
PRIMARY MHOS WILL SCREEN ALL PROPERTIES AND APPROVE SUITABLE RENTAL
PROPERTIES. PRIMARY MHOS WILL THEN SUBMIT APPROVED PROPERTIES,
CENSUS TRACT REVIEWS, AND RECOMMENDED REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS VIA
MHO WEB. THE FIRST DATA SUBMISSION DUE DATE IS 5 MAY 2008, SECOND
AND THIRD SUBMISSION DATES FOR NEW RENTAL DATA ONLY ARE 16 JUN 2008
AND 14 JUL 2008, RESPECTIVELY. WHEN POSSIBLE, DATA SHOULD BE
SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE TO PERMIT INTERNAL QUALITY
ASSURANCE SCREENING PRIOR TO FINAL SUBMISSION TO RZI.
4. THIS DATA COLLECTION PROCESS IS CRITICAL IN ESTABLISHING
APPROPRIATE BAH RATES FOR 2009. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS DATA CANNOT
BE OVERSTATED. ANNUAL BAH RATES ARE LARGELY BASED ON THE DATA
SUBMITTED BY LOCAL MHOS. INCOMPLETE OR INACCURATE DATA WHICH CANNOT
BE VERIFIED BY RZI WILL NOT BE USED IN ESTABLISHING BAH RATES AND
MAY ADVERSELY INFLUENCE BAH RATES IN 2009. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY
TO ENSURE BAH RATES ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE COST OF REASONABLE,
ADEQUATE, AND AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING FOR ALL UNIFORMED SERVICES.

A. COAST GUARD MORALE, WELL-BEING, AND RECREATION MANUAL,
COMDTINST M1710.13(SERIES)
1. THE COAST GUARD TRUST FUND BOARD RECENTLY APPROVED THE NAF YEAR
2008 CENTRAL MWR BUDGET. THIS BUDGET PROVIDES FOR A STRAIGHT PER
CAPITA DISTRIBUTION OF 35 DOLLARS PER ACTIVE DUTY BILLET ON THE
PERSONNEL ALLOWANCE LIST (PAL). BEGINNING IN NAF YEAR 2008, ALL
UNITS WILL BE RECEIVING A STRAIGHT PER CAPITA DISTRIBUTION AND REF
(A) WILL BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE. THIS CHANGE IMPLEMENTS
THE PER CAPITA DISTRIBUTION GOAL PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED.
2. COLA FOR THOSE ELIGIBLE NAF EMPLOYEES IS 3.0 PERCENT FOR NAF
YEAR 2008 AND WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN THE PAY PERIOD BEGINNING 10 FEB
2008.
3. THE COST OF THE HEALTH CARE PREMIUMS FOR OUR NAF EMPLOYEES
ENROLLED IN THE NAF EMPLOYEE HEALTH CARE PLAN WILL INCREASE
APPROXIMATELY 12 PERCENT FOR NAF YEAR 2008. COMMANDS SHOULD NOTE
THAT THEY PAY 75 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL PREMIUM WHILE OUR EMPLOYEES
PAY 25 PERCENT. BOTH THE EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE WILL SEE THIS
INCREASE. ALL NAF EMPLOYEES CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE PLAN WILL BE
RECEIVING A LETTER DIRECTLY FROM COMDT (CG-103) REGARDING THIS
INCREASE AND A POSSIBLE LOWER COST HEALTH CARE OPTION. THE REVISED
PREMIUM DEDUCTIONS WILL TAKE AFFECT DURING THE NAF PAY PERIOD
COMMENCING 27 JAN 08. SINCE OUR INSURANCE COSTS ARE EXPERIENCE-
BASED AND OUR EMPLOYEE POOL IS RELATIVELY SMALL AND AGING, WE
CONTINUE TO BE FORCED TO MAKE DIFFICULT CHANGES TO THE HEALTH CARE
PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO OUR NAF EMPLOYEES IN ORDER TO KEEP HEALTH CARE
COSTS AFFORDABLE FOR OUR NAF PROGRAMS AND THE PARTICIPATING
EMPLOYEES. IN NAF YEAR 2008, WE WILL AGAIN LOOK AT CHANGES TO THE
HEALTH CARE PLAN OFFERED TO OUR EMPLOYEES TO MAKE IT AFFORDABLE AND
COMPETITIVE.
4. THE EMPLOYERS SHARE OF NAF EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT FOR THOSE NAF
EMPLOYEES ENROLLED IN THE NAF RETIREMENT PLAN IS 5.94 PERCENT FOR
NAF YEAR 2008.
5. FINALLY IN NAF YEAR 2008, COMMANDS WITH MWR NAF EMPLOYEES
INCURRING WORKERS COMPENSATION EXPENSES WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE
FIRST 5,000 DOLLARS OF THE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH EACH EMPLOYEES
CLAIM. COMMANDS WILL BE INVOICED FOR THIS EXPENSE IN FEB 09 AFTER
THE NAF YEAR CLOSES.
6. IN THE EXECUTION OF NAF YEAR 2008 BUDGETS AND IN THE
PRELIMINARY PREPARATION OF NAF YEAR 2009 BUDGETS, COMMANDS MUST
AVOID OPERATING BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AT A LOSS AND ELIMINATE
DEPENDENCE ON PER CAPITA DISTRIBUTIONS TO FUND NAF SALARIES.
ADDITIONALLY, COMMANDS THAT MAKE PER CAPITA DISTRIBUTIONS TO OTHER
COMMANDS IN AN AOR AND TAX THOSE DISTRIBUTIONS SHOULD ENSURE THAT
COMMANDS IN THE AOR ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS TAX AND ITS PURPOSES.
WE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS QUERIES FROM THE FIELD REGARDING CHANGES TO
THE PER CAPITA DISTRIBUTION THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE TRUST FUND
BOARD.
