*COMPASS, a 12 hour course presented over 3 days, is for any Navy spouse - officer or enlisted, male or female - who wants to know more about Navy life. Presented by trained Volunteer Teams of experienced Navy spouses, participants are mentored through a program of topics including Navy history and traditions, pay, benefits, services, deployments, moving, communication, and local resources. Sponsored by Naval Services FamilyLine, COMPASS is a standardized program designed to impart knowledge and to encourage using this knowledge along with realistic expectations to enjoy a successful and rewarding journey as a Navy spouse and family. Offered in small group settings, the environment is welcoming, casual, and comfortable.

 COMPASS is free, but pre-registration is required.  To register, schedule a PR Volunteer for your command or event or for additional information  email COMPASSNorfolk@nsfamilyline.org or call our message line at 322-9199.

*You can obtain Airport Gate Passes for Military Passenger Family Members?  The Transportation Security Administration has put out a security directive pertaining to Military Passengers. Families of military members may escort the military passenger to the gate or meet a military passenger's inbound arrival at the gate.  The family member can now go to the airline that the military member is flying on and receive a pass to go to the gate. The family member will be required to have a pass and a photo ID to get past the security checkpoint.
