Navy Gateway Inns and Suites Partners with Commercial Hotels to Save Travel Dollars
Story Number: NNS130710-05Release Date: 7/10/2013 1:40:00 PM From Commander, Navy Installation Command Navy Lodging Program Office WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy's primary lodging facilities for travelers on official orders (also available to Department of Defense (DoD) travelers), Navy Gateway Inns & Suites (NGIS), is expanding lodging opportunities.
NGIS is partnering with commercial hotels in close proximity to Navy installations to accommodate guests when on base DoD government lodging is at full occupancy.
Currently, DoD travelers on official orders to an installation may encounter an NGIS with no lodging availability. Travelers are then required to locate a local commercial hotel on their own after receiving a Certificate of Non-Availability (CNA). NGIS is taking on that responsibility for the traveler.
In certain markets, this can be quite a challenge. First, the traveler must find a commercial property within a short commute to the base with a rate of per diem or lower, and most importantly; safe to reside in during their temporary duty. The Navy Lodging Program has seen the hurdles travelers face and has implemented a solution by partnering with commercial hotels.
"Our priority is to maximize on-base DoD government lodging and then also to provide safe, secure hotels that meet our DoD traveler requirements by establishing relationships with commercial hotel partners in close proximity of the Navy base," said Tamara Davis, Navy Lodging Program manager. Travelers do not have to worry about finding lodging on their own in an area they are not familiar with, or being placed in a hotel that is less than desirable, that's what the Navy Lodging Program mission is - to take care of our travelers whether they're staying on base or off base."
The Navy Commercial Lodging Program's hotel partners must meet established criteria. This criterion involves passing an annual inspection to ensure the property meets DOD Lodging Standards and DoD Fire, Safety and Health criteria, with contracted room rates at per diem or lower, and be within a 30 minute commute for the traveler. Prior to a TDY traveler receiving a CNA for commercial lodging the following steps will be followed: (1) Check availability at NGIS (On base lodging); (2) if no availability at NGIS, Navy Lodge will be contacted; (3) if no availability at Navy Lodge and there is no commercial lodging program, the traveler will receive a CNA requiring the traveler to locate a hotel within per diem.
The Navy Commercial Lodging Program introduces multiple benefits for travelers: convenience, safety, travel savings and mission accomplishment. This program has proven very successful in markets such as Guam; Washington, D.C.; Bethesda, Md.; Fort Worth, Texas; Jacksonville and Mayport, Fla.; Seal Beach and San Diego, Calif. As the Navy Commercial Lodging Program continues to expand to new markets/locations, travelers will be assured of lodging accommodations to meet their travel needs with one phone call to 1-877-NAVY-BED.
NGIS Commercial Lodging Partnership Program also generates revenue which supports the NGIS lodging programs at headquarters and at the installation.

Vice Chief to Fleet Leaders: Preventing Sexual Assault Begins With You Story Number: NNS130709-03Release Date: 7/9/2013 9:23:00 AM From Vice Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- In a message to flag officers, commanding officers, and officers in charge, Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Adm. Mark Ferguson highlighted Navy-wide accountability for sexual assault July 8.
The message from Adm. Mark Ferguson explains the Navy will soon announce policies and programs to address sexual assault across the fleet and sets the expectation Navy leadership will do everything they can to prevent the crime.
"Sexual assault ruins lives, divides teams, and erodes trust. As leaders, we must provide our Sailors a responsible, professional, and safe environment in which to work and live," said Ferguson in the message.
Ferguson told fleet leaders that preventing the crime of sexual assault starts with command climate. They must create atmospheres of trust and confidence that ensure Sailors can report sexual assault or sexual harassment without fear of retribution or retaliation.
He also stressed that once victims report crimes, it is the responsibility of the chain of command to ensure victims receive the appropriate level of care and support.
Command climate has a role in not only reassuring victims, but in sending a message that committing sexual assault will not be tolerated.
"We must reaffirm our commitment to our shipmates, and our actions must make clear to potential perpetrators of this crime that they will be held appropriately accountable," Ferguson said.
Telling leaders "this is our issue to solve," he reminded them they are accountable for
-- ensuring all Sailors are treated with dignity and respect,
-- incorporating sexual assault prevention measures into their commands,
-- providing responsive victim support,
-- ensuring all unrestricted sexual assault allegations are promptly reported to NCIS and investigated, and
-- holding offenders appropriately accountable.
In the near future, the Navy will announce additional policies and programs to address sexual assault, including a continued effort highlight the responsible use of alcohol. The goal of these programs is to promote safe living and working environments across the Navy.
