EMAIL DETAILS

Good morning!

NAVCO is offering another opportunity to create and share short, recorded shout-outs (15-20 seconds) with a Navy key message for ALL Sailors. These are a HUGE HIT with American radio affiliates.

We request and need your assistance by encouraging your Sailors to call 1-855-OUR-NAVY and record their shout-outs as per below. Participating Sailors can call from any available phone and NAVCO thoroughly screens each call before sharing with media so there is no need to monitor each one as they happen.

A few best practices to encourage participation: (1) Highlight in POD or POW; (2) Add a slide on SITE TV; (3) All-hands email; (4) Allow Sailors to use PAO outside line during specific periods of time & (5) 1 MC announcements.

Directions are below:

1. Call our toll-free number: 1-855-OUR-NAVY (1-855-687-6289) before Monday, May 4 @ 0800 EST.

2. Have the below script ready and follow the recorded voice directions after calling.

*** (PLEASE DELIVER WITH ENTHUSIASM) ***

HI, I'M NAVY PETTY OFFICER TOM JONES FROM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE AND CURRENTLY AT SEA ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CARL VINSON.

WE ARE OPERATING FORWARD IN THE ARABIAN GULF AND READY TO DEFEND AMERICA AT ALL TIMES.

I WANT TO WISH MY MOTHER, TONYA JONES, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I LOVE YOU!

*** Sailors should tailor it to their command, AOR, home town and mother they are recognizing ***

3. Wait for 3-5 second pause after voice directions and record message after beep.

4. Hang-up and the audio file will automatically be sent to NAVCO's email.

Once received, NAVCO will thoroughly screen for useable files and share the audio file with a full range of radio media outlets in their home town.
