Comments:
I respectfully ask your consideration of my concerns as an auditor with experience at various commands and levels in CONUS as well as overseas working with our soldiers (in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Uzbekistan, Kosovo, Germany and Italy). I believe in continuous improvement supported by facts. I don’t see that in the NSPS proposal. I’ve listed my concerns and each of my issues in the following format: • ISSUE#/REFERENCE • DISCUSSION • SUGGESTION My three core concerns and suggestions in summary are: 1. Increased Responsiveness and Return on Investment (ROI). GAO review NSPS analysis, financial and operational, on how the NSPS will support the workforce and meet the claims addressed by NSPS (noted in my issue discussion section). 2. Salaries. GAO evaluates and provides to the DOD and the DOD workforce, after DOD develops it, the performance payout methodology and support for NSPS claims of higher ROI and the same pay for employees. DOD should also address critical support issues to DOD employees in combat areas such as life insurance support. 3. Labor Relations. GAO reviews NSPS ramifications on the employee rights. Legislative branch of the government approves changes to the CFR proposed by the NSPS proposal. Explanations of each issue in detail are in the attached file.
