NSA Mid-South Mud Run Challenge
March 27th, 2011
On May 1, 2010, Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, Tennessee, encountered substantial flooding that closed the base for days – some organizations were not able to get back to quasi normal operations for weeks, but the worst of it was the fact that about 350 people who lived on the base were displaced and more than 100 families lost all of their possessions because base housing met much the same fate as the buildings seen in the aerial picture below.

Within the first three days after the flood, the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society came to the rescue with $150,000 of emergency assistance for those evacuated from their homes.
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, which was founded in 1904, is a private non-profit charitable organization that is sponsored by the Department of the Navy. They operate nearly 250 offices ashore and afloat at Navy and Marine Corps bases throughout the world.

Another early-out program, but this one does create kind of a softer landing than those of the early 90′s. This program, if widely excepted, will take some of the bite out of very unpopular Perform to Serve program by having those on the bubble decide to use this program instead of waiting and stressing on the PTS results; the Navy’s numbers for those forced-out will reduce, and we will appear kinder and gentler.
