We would like to personally invite you the 2018 SPRINGFEST Golf Tournament hosted by the Washington, DC Chapter of the Navy Supply Corps Foundation which will be held May 4th, 2018. Our goal is to provide the ideal setting for fellowship and fun at the lovely Laurel Hill Golf Club in Lorton, VA. Most of all, the proceeds raised will go directly to the Foundation's scholarship fund.

This year we are working closely with Dixon Golf to bring you even better ways to win! Some opportunities include:

Par 3 Game

Every golfer gets a free ball. For an optional $10 to participate, golfers get an annual subscription to Golf Digest ($12+ value) and a chance to hit 2 balls off the tee (their ball and the Dixon ball). If they get a ball on the green on the first hit, they win a sleeve of balls ($10). On average, 50% of people win the sleeve of balls. If everyone plays the game, the team wins a birdie for the hole.


Par 5 Game

For an optional $20 to participate, golfers get a certificate for a $150 hybrid or wedge club, two hits off the tee (test the new driver vs. their club) to get the ball into hula hoops spread over the fairway from 150 - 300 yards from the tee. If they get the ball into the hula hoop, they win their choice of a custom driver or $500 Novatti watch. They also get a raffle ticket for the same prizes. If everyone plays, the players get to pick up their balls and advance to 100 yards from the pin where they take the first hit that counts on this hole. Many golfers are able to get a Double Eagle on the hole.

We also provide a hole-in-one prize for both the Par 3 and Par 5 games. Winners have a chance at a million dollars at the finals of the Fiesta Bowl Million Dollar Hole-in-One Challenge, skipping the prelims and going straight to the finals. We pay for the hole-in-one insurance.

I've attached a flyer below for more details, but feel free to reach out to the coordinators, LCDR Lindsay Anderson and LCDR Ryan Hughes directly at scspringfest@gmail.com and we will be happy to assist where we can. If you are ready to play, please register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2018-nscf-dc-springfest-golf-tournament-tickets-43554925956.

Have a great day.

Sincerely,

LCDR Lindsay R. Anderson and LCDR Ryan Hughes NSCF-WAC Springfest, Co-Chairs

Reforming NAVSUP for the Navy's Future

As our Armed Forces adapt to a faster-paced, more complex, and increasingly competitive security environment, NAVSUP is reforming to meet the changing needs to ensure mission success. Further, Defense Secretary Mattis tasked DoD to reform business practices, streamline requirements and acquisition processes, and execute the DoD's first full-scope audit.  Each of us has a role in the changes we need to build the Navy the Nation Needs.  

Driving our reform initiative is a desire to realign so we are closer to our customers, to help them get what they need quicker and with better effectiveness. As a Navy command, NAVSUP is best positioned to understand the customers' world as our own, providing close collaboration and customer-focused metrics. Reasserting NAVSUP's role as the Navy's Title 10 leader for supply chain management is also a core element of our reform initiative. As the lead supply support provider for Navy, NAVSUP fulfills naval force requirements organically and via both public and private organizations that provide segments of supply support. Only you, our NAVSUP and Supply Corps team, can integrate these segments into a comprehensive, tailored solution to meet the full Navy requirement.  

Digitization is another key part of our reform. For us to provide the enhanced agility and customer service our Navy and Joint warfighters need, next generation forecasting will leverage advanced analytics and data feeds to anticipate customer demands. You will see improved data analytics and new digital technology being implemented throughout our programs and processing, including forecasting.

Recognizing that investing in you, our people, is vital to the success of any initiative, enabling the workforce is another core component of our reform initiative. We host a culture of excellence that develops and trains our people and the next generation of leaders. NAVSUP will identify, hire, train, and retain the new era workforce. Civilians are NAVSUP's consistent and dependable core of our global workforce.

NAVSUP is optimally positioned for us to more directly engage and support our customers through these demands. Our spring edition of the Supply Corps Newsletter, available at http://scnewsltr.dodlive.mil, focuses on reform and provides further examples of how we are reforming. 

You are making this happen.  Many of our commands are already implementing reform initiatives. Over the next 18 months, a steering committee led by NAVSUP senior leaders, will oversee our Reform Program and work several specific lines of effort. Some of these efforts will include integrating next generation technological advances into every supply chain process, investing in high-value technologies to improve processes, and leveraging data analytics. In the end, our initiative will forge the organization for sustained performance by evolving the NAVSUP operating model so we remain always ready, resourceful, responsive!  

We will keep you updated as our Reform Program matures.
