"Agree with Taxpayer: The ice cream social was held during the lunch hour and to the best of my knowledge, all personnel who worked the ice cream social rotated through during their lunch breaks. Sailors came and went and did not miss any official duty." Posted by Deputy, Public Affairs on Aug 13, 2012 10:06 AM

"Does the Public Affairs comment mean that personnel serving ice cream were on leave (leave charged), not scheduled for duty (regularly schedule day off from 40 hour work week), or if civilian employees were they not receiving hourly pay (time cards appropriately noted) for serving ice cream instead of performing official duties?"

"Social Events are typically supported by a booster clubs who buy the provisions with donations they have collected. I think this event was a fund raiser for the Navy Ball." Posted by Booster on Aug 9, 2012 8:08 AM
"No taxpayer money was used. The event was self-supported by those who participated." Posted by Deputy, Public Affairs on Aug 2, 2012 9:51 AM
"Is this what my taxes are paying for?" Posted by Taxpayer on Aug 2, 2012 8:19 AM
