– Uniform reimbursement (no out-of-pocket costs): The Navy’s new Uniform Electronic Gift Card Program helps eligible Sailors get missing seabag items from RTC – directly through NEX uniform centers.

– Readiness and accountability: Sailors must update personal and emergency contact information in NFAAS by May 15, 2026 to ensure accountability and family readiness during emergencies.

Free Program – Veterans for Public Office

Posted on Updated on

We’re excited to share that applications are now open for the next cohort of the Veterans for Public Office program.

This nonpartisan civic leadership program, offered in collaboration with IVMF and Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, is designed for veterans and military spouses interested in public service, politics, or campaign leadership at the local, state, or national level.

The program offers two tracks:
Ideation for those exploring a path in politics or civic engagement
Campaign Planning for those preparing to run for office or lead a civic initiative

If you’ve completed the Ideation track and are ready to take the next step, we encourage you to apply for Campaign Planning, we’d love to have you back.

Know someone who would be a great fit? Please pass this along. Many of our strongest participants come through referrals.

If you have any questions, simply e-mail vpo@syr.edu and a member of the VPO team will be happy to help.

We hope to see your application soon.
