3. Selectees for the HSOY and IDHSOY will be automatically
nominated for the Lewis Seaman Award for Outstanding Operational
Support. This is an annual award for enlisted personnel presented
by the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States
(AMSUS).
4. Please note, COMDT (CG-11) has changed the submission process
for the Michael J. Cristy Health Care Facility of the Year (HCFOY).
Starting this year, clinics will be listed into three (3)
categories; large, medium and small. The list of categories has
been added to page 5 of REF (B). This change has been made so that
all clinics can be evaluated equally and recognized for more of the
work which increases health and healing that our clinics perform
every day throughout the USCG.
5. IAW REF (B), nominations must be received by the Health, Safety,
Work-Life Service Center (HSWL SC) no later than the first Monday
in April, which is April 3rd. HSWL SC staff shall submit their top
