In 2010, the Navy's Chief of
Information established a centralized online database for those
individuals who are embarking U.S. Navy ships as part of the Navy's
Leaders to Sea program. The execution of this important community
outreach program was done via hardcopy forms and fax prior to this
database. This automated system has significantly improved the
efficiency and greatly reduced the overall amount of paperwork
required and errors on processing request to execute the
program.
