"Now, rather than filing manual paperwork at their Personnel Support Detachment offices, our service members can update their addresses, phone numbers and emergency contact information from their home, ship or base via a standard Web browser. It represents a tremendous technological leap in our manpower and personnel systems." NSIPS consolidates multiple legacy systems, reducing the Navy's administrative and maintenance costs. The real-time system also improves service to sailors who can now access their personnel information from 570 ship and shore sites at any time. This self-serve capability introduces a new level of accuracy to the system because Navy members themselves can ensure that their personnel data is current and error free.
