The National RBS Strategic Plan is completed, the 5NR Strategic Plan is completed, and the 5NR RBS Tactical Plan is completed. All of these coordinated steps lead us to the final step - implementation of the 5NR Tactical Plan. It is important that every vessel examiner review the 5NR Tactical plans of PA, PE, PV and VE.

Due to the size of the file, the distribution solution involves Microsoft's Skydrive, a file sharing capability which will give you a link to follow. When the site appears, you will see 2 files: a self running Powerpoint presentation that includes a narration, as well as a .pdf file. Only use the .pdf if you cannot get the Powerpoint presentation to work on your computer.

To access the Powerpoint file:

• CLICK HERE

• Click on the Powerpoint file (the bottom file and not the .pdf)

• When the first Powerpoint slide appears, look at the upper left of the screen, click on the word "Download” (to the right of the word “File”) and wait for the file to download into your computer's Powerpoint program or Powerpoint reader

• Turn on your speakers and run the SlideShow

The narration contains a lot of good information, so try to get it to work. If all else fails, click on the .pdf file and it should download into your Acrobat reader.
As always, your questions and comments are welcomed.
