Notification Visit

In the event a military member becomes a casualty, it is the Department of Defense (DOD) policy that the Next of Kin (NOK) shall be notified as promptly as possible in a dignified, humane, professional, and understanding manner.

As such, you represent the Secretary of the Navy, and the Navy itself. The Navy has a covenant with those fallen Sailors and their families, and takes great pride in keeping faith with that covenant.
Keep in mind that your performance during the Notification Visit is likely to shape the family’s lasting impression of the Navy as an institution that cares for its own. This duty is among the most profound responsibilities you can take on as a Sailor.
