“I AM DELETING THE POSTS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION THAT HAVE CHANGE OF ADDRESS’S, We do not publish this Magazine.  Please read the .pdf file it lists where to make address changes we have also listed it below.

Need to change your address for Shift Colors?
If you are receiving retirement pay or benefits
from the Navy, you need only contact the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) at
1-800-321-1080.

Ask DFAS to update your correspondence
address. The change will automatically update the
Shift Colors database.

If you are a “gray area” retiree (a retired
Reservist not yet receiving retirement pay) call Navy
Personnel Command’s (NPC) Customer Service
Center at 1-866-U-ASKNPC (1-866-827-5672).

Surviving spouses who wish to continue receiving
Shift Colors upon their spouse’s passing should
call the NPC Customer Service Center or write to

Shipmates,

I get this mag every quarter and they post it online as well.

    IN THE SUMMER ISSUE 2008 YOU HAD A STORY ABOUT THE START OF E-8 AND E-9'S. I WAS WORKING THE ADMISSION UNIT AT USNH BREMERTON AT THAT TIME SETTING PEOPLE UP FOR THEIR PHYSICALS. THE OFFICE HAD A DUTCH DOOR AND ONE MORNING I HAD THE BOTTOM CLOSED WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE COUGH AND I TURNED TO SEE A MAN WITH A STAR ON HIS COLLAR. NOW HAVING NEVER SEEN A SENIOR OR MASTER CHIEF I DID HEAR THAT THEY HAD ONE OR TWO STARS. SO I SAID, "BE RIGHT WITH YOU SENIOR CHIEF". FINISHED MY TYPING AND TURNED TO SEE A BGEN IN THE USMC. YIPES, ME A HN. HE SAID THAT IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE CALLED A CHIEF.
