RMKS/1. THIS MESSAGE ANNOUNCES THE 2008 CALENDAR FOR AMERICA (CFA),
WHICH LISTS THE NAVY’S LARGE-SCALE CONUS OUTREACH EVENTS FOR THE COMING
YEAR.
2. KEY PLANNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS MET IN MILLINGTON, TN, 18 OCT 2007 TO
PLAN THE DATES AND STRATEGY FOR CFA 2008, TO INCLUDE NAVY WEEKS, FLEET
WEEKS, MARITIME STRATEGY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTRY, BLUE ANGELS
AIR SHOWS, DIVERSITY EVENTS, SHIP COMMISSIONINGS, AND KEY RECRUITING
EVOLUTIONS.
3. THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS SET FORTH HIS INTENT FOR CFA 2008 AS
FOLLOWS:
A. ENDSTATE: ENHANCED PUBLIC AWARENESS, ESPECIALLY IN NON-FLEET
CONCENTRATION AREAS, OF NAVY MISSIONS, PERSONNEL AND POLICIES, CREATED
THROUGH A COORDINATED AND FOCUSED DEMONSTRATION OF EQUIPMENT
CAPABILITIES, MUSIC PERFORMANCES, PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENTS AND ONE-ON-ONE
ENGAGEMENT OF MEDIA AND CIVILIAN INFLUENCERS BY NAVY PERSONNEL AT
EVERY LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP, AND MEASURABLE TO ENSURE MOST EFFECTIVE USE
OF OUR RESOURCES.
B. KEY TASKS: ESTABLISH CALENDAR OF EVENTS THAT LEVERAGES EXISTING
COMMUNITY EVENTS, IN WHICH THE NAVY MAY PARTICIPATE, TO OPTIMIZE NAVY
PERSONNEL ENGAGEMENT WITH MEDIA AND CIVILIAN INFLUENCERS.
PARTICIPATION SHALL INCLUDE SURFACE, AIR, SUBSURFACE, NAVY INSTALLATION
AND NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES AND PERSONNEL,
INCLUDING THE BLUE ANGELS, NAVY BAND, RECRUITING COMMAND AND NASCAR.
RECRUITING GOALS ARE A SIGNIFICANT, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVE, ASPECT OF NAVY
OUTREACH AND SHOULD BE INTEGRATED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE WITH
OVERALL OUTREACH EFFORTS. DIVERSITY EVENTS SHALL BE A KEY CONSIDERATION
IN DETERMINING WHAT EVENTS TO ESTABLISH AS NAVY WEEKS; HOWEVER,
ACTIVITIES SHALL CONSIDER OVERALL MARKET OPPORTUNITIES.
