CHINHAE, Republic of Korea (NNS) -- Vice Adm. William
French, commander of Navy Installations Command, visited Sailors assigned to
Commander, Fleet Activities Chinhae (CFAC) in the Republic of Korea (ROK), May
13, as part of his tour of the Asia-Pacific region.
During an all hands call, Vice Adm. French addressed various
topics including the U.S. rebalance to the Pacific, pay and benefits, force
readiness, and the effect of the fiscal budget on deployments and installation
services.
"We value what you are doing here in Korea," said
Vice Adm. French. "We appreciate you being forward deployed and supporting
the numerous fleet visits and engagements across the Korean peninsula. All the
things you do, at the end of the day, strengthen our alliance with the Republic
of Korea."
CFAC leaders and staff members also met with Vice Adm.
French to discuss local improvement projects and provided him with a tour of
base facilities.
"This base has done well because our people take care
of each other and they care about the mission," said Cmdr. Quinn Skinner,
commander, Fleet Activities Chinhae.
"Even though different parts of the base don't directly
work for each other, they have chosen to engage and support each other in the
things they need to get done. The whole base has prospered because of it."
CFAC has distinguished itself as one of the Navy's premier
installations by providing superior operational support and quality of service
to Sailors, Civilians, and their families.
The Naval Education and Training Professional Development
Technology Center selected CFAC as the 2013 Small Command Overseas winner of
the Navy's Flagship award for Community Service, Health, Safety, and Fitness.
CFAC housing earned a Platinum "A List" award for
achieving the highest levels of customer satisfaction in 2013, for the 12th
consecutive year. In 2012, the CFAC Fire and Emergency Services Department was
selected as the Small Fire Department of the Year across all U.S. Navy
installations worldwide.
Located on the southeastern coast of the Republic of Korea,
CFAC provides service and operational support to the fleet while strengthening
the U.S.-ROK alliance through joint armistice, training exercises and
contingency operations.
