A Special Volunteer Opportunity: Join our Board of Directors

The Foundation is soliciting volunteers to become Board Members and join our Board of Directors beginning in 2022. This is a great opportunity to take an active role in our Foundation--providing your specific leadership and guidance to help the Foundation achieve its mission. Board positions are open to all members of the Foundation (active, reserve, retired and former Supply Corps officers), their spouses and members of the enlisted Supply ratings.

Board Members serve a minimum three-year term, beginning each year. The Foundation holds two annual Board Meetings in the Spring and Fall, though much of the Board's work and communication is managed virtually. You can view the Foundation’s current Board of Directors and Committees here.

If you are interested in becoming a Board Member or have any questions about the Board of Directors, please contact the Foundation’s Executive Director CAPT (ret) Dan Pionk at ExecutiveDirector@usnscf.com or (202) 956-8229.

DoD Extends Identification Card Expiration Policy Guidance

The Department of Defense (DoD) remains committed to ensuring the health and safety of all DoD personnel and beneficiaries and ensuring their continued access to healthcare and all authorized benefits. In its ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on identification (ID) card site operations, effective immediately, the DoD is extending temporary Uniformed Services ID (USID) card expiration policy guidance for all USID cards with expiration dates between January 1, 2020 and July 31, 2021 as follows:

Through August 31, 2021 for all Foreign Affiliates and their dependents;
Through October 31, 2021 for the Dependents of Active Duty uniformed Service members, and Reserve and National Guard uniformed Service members and their dependents; and
Through January 31, 2022 for retirees and their dependents, and all other USID card populations.

ID cards that expired prior to January 1, 2020, have not been extended and must be replaced. ID cards with expiration dates after July 31, 2021, must be replaced by their expiration date.
To learn more about the extension of policy guidance for expiring USID cards visit the DoD Response to COVID-19 - DoD ID Cards and Benefits website (https://www.cac.mil/Coronavirus/) for a fact sheet and FAQs.
