While recipients will not be required to speak, they will be present on stage to accept their awards.  All guests are reqired to wear business attire.
2.c. Funding and Travel. Manpower and Reserve Affairs will cover the award recipients' travel and lodging expenses.  The Marine Corps Association (MCA) will pay for the travel arrangements for one (1) guest of each award recipient's immediate family that is not active-duty military (unless they are a spouse) to accompany the recipient to the dinner and ceremony.  Award recipients must: (1) inform the MCA's point of contact of the additional attendee no later than three weeks prior to the event, and (2) fill out the 2023 Information Awards Dinner Award Recipient Information Form that will be provided by the MCA's point of contact listed in this MARADMIN upon request. MCA will also provide separate lodging for the guest if the recipient and guest are not sharing a room. MCA can only provide flights for guests that reside in the continental United States and cannot purchase international flights. Should you or your guest live within a six (6)-hour driving distance of the event venue, MCA will not cover flight expenses.  Should airline reservations be required, MCA prefers to make your guest’s travel reservations PRIOR to your Command Travel Entity making your travel accommodations.  Your command travel entity can then replicate the details for your travel.    
3. Commands are encouraged to recognize recipients for their extraordinary accomplishments by submitting a Fleet Hometown News Release at https:(slash)(slash)www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrnw/installations/navbase_kitsap/about/hometown-news-release.html.
