Greetings,
It is my distinct pleasure to provide the 2012 edition of the Naval Leader Planning Guide and the Naval
Leader Weekly Planner. Our mission at the Center for Personal and Professional Development is to develop
the Navy’s workforce by providing education and training opportunities that build personal, professional and
leadership competencies in support of mission readiness, and this guide is one way we assist Sailors in their
development.
In this edition you will find important events in the annual calendar that every Naval Leader should know, as
well as a host of other resources that will help you in your job. From course listings that your Sailors can use
to further their development, to planning worksheets you can use to organize your own growth, I hope you’ll
find this guide a useful tool.
This product is only as useful as the information it contains, so your feedback is important for the continuous
improvement of our guide. There are a variety of ways for you to provide feedback. Feedback can be
submitted using the form in the back of this guide that you can mail, fax, or email (CPPDFeedback@navy.
mil), or you can submit corrections using Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) under either the Leadership or
Personal Development pages.
The Naval Leader Planning Guide and the Naval Leader Weekly Planner are not available for purchase this
year through the Navy Forms Online webpage. Downloading the product and reproducing locally is the
primary delivery method. Commands are also authorized to use these downloaded files to request printing
from their local printing agency. I encourage you to use one of these methods to make sure every one of your
Leaders has a copy of this product.
On behalf of the staff at CPPD, thank you for using this edition of the Naval Leader Planning Guide or the
Naval Leader Weekly Planner. I hope this product will assist you in being successful Naval Leaders.

4. User Information
The Naval Leader Planning Guide (NLPG) and the Naval Leader Weekly Planner (NLWP) are produced
annually by CPPD. They contain calendars, important dates, references, phone numbers, e-mail addresses,
and other information that may be useful to all Naval Leaders. The 8.5” x 11” NLPG is in the standard monthly
format. The 5.8” x 8.5” NLWP is in a weekly format that is designed to fit into your personal day planner/
organizer binder (7-hole or 3-hole punched). The guides and planners are available for download and may be
printed by all Naval personnel.
The NLPG/NLWP are also available on the NKO website in .pdf format and in a version for Outlook. URL is:
https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil. After logging in, click on the Leadership tab. The pubs are in the section for Naval
Leader Planning Guide 2012.
All Federal Holidays are shaded in yellow. Federal holidays and other national observances are taken from
the USA.gov website at www.USA.gov/citizens/holidays.
Dates for Holy Days and Religious Observances can be found at the Interfaith Calendar website at
www.interfaithcalendar.com.
Historical information was taken from the Naval Historical Center and the USMC History and Museum Division
websites.
Various ethnic and religious groups in America celebrate days with special meaning to them even though
these are not national holidays. Jews, for example, observe their high holy days in September, Muslims
celebrate Ramadan, African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa, Irish Americans celebrate the old country’s patron
saint, St. Patrick, on March 17, and Mardi Gras is the day before the Christian season of Lent begins and is
a big occasion in New Orleans, Louisiana, where huge parades and wild revels take place. There are many
other such religious and ethnic celebrations in the United States.
