Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Pearl Harbor organized enlisted aide training to discuss the changes to the enlisted aide program in historic quarters on board Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), Jan. 18.

The enlisted aide training focuses on the changes to the enlisted aide program following the revision of the Department of Defense Instruction 1315.09, Utilization of Enlisted Aides on Personal Staffs of General and Flag Officers. It highlights the duties and responsibilities of the enlisted aides and outlines what they are authorized and not authorized to do.

The group participated in an open discussion on the following topics: supporting events, care of quarters, groundskeeping, caregiving for family members, and preparation of meals.

"My goal is to ensure that the rules and regulations from the updated DoD instruction are clear, and to create camaraderie between the services," said Senior Chief Culinary Specialist Curtis Addleman, Joint Center for Culinary Excellence.

General and flag officers were invited to this valuable session with their spouses, enlisted aides, and front office members. The training highlighted the importance of the relationship between the general or flag officer, aide, and enlisted aide, to include collaboration with the spouse.

"This training is fantastic and we need more of it," said Donna O'Shaughnessy, spouse of Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy, commander, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). "This is a great opportunity to discuss matters together, and with more training the better off the program will be."

The training also gave an overview of the enlisted aide course, enlisted aide mentorship program, and discussed the support available to enlisted aides.
