DEPENDENCY APPLICATION/RECORD
OF EMERGENCY DATA (PAGE 2) AND
DD FORM 93, RECORD OF EMERGENCY
DATA (PAGE 2)
According to the MILPERSMAN, Article 5030240,
the Dependency Application/Record of Emergency
Data, NAVPERS 1070/602, page 2, is a multipurpose
form used for both officer and enlisted members.
Part I serves as an application for dependency
allowances and is used to record military spouse data.
Part II provides an immediately accessible, up-to-date
record of emergency data for casualty reporting and
notification of the next of kin (NOK).
Figure 5-10 shows a sample of a blank non-SDS
NAVPERS 1070/602. If you have worked with enlisted
service records, you are very likely already familiar with
Part II. Figure 5-11 shows a sample of an SDS
NAVPERS 1070/602 form.
The Record of Emergency Data, DD Form 93, is
prepared at the Military Entrance Processing Stations
(MEPS) for enlisted members required to undergo
recruit training. This form serves the same purpose as
Part II of the NAVPERS 1070/602. Figure 5-12 shows
a sample blank DD Form 93.
Both the NAVPERS 1070/602 and DD Form 93 are
considered to be official documents and are used to
determine the following:
Person(s) to be notified in case of emergency or
death
Person(s) to receive the death gratuity when no
spouse or child exists
Person(s) to receive unpaid pay and allowances,
including money accrued during a missing or
captured status, unused leave, travel, per diem,
transportation of family members, shipment of
household goods, and savings deposits that are
due from the Department of the Navy
Dependents of member to receive allotment of
pay if member is missing or unable to transmit
funds
Commercial insurance companies to be notified
in case of death
National Service Life Insurance, Servicemen’s
Group Life Insurance, and Veterans’ Group Life
Insurance in force

We cannot stress enough the importance of making
sure the page 2 is accurate, complete, and up to date.
Page 2 is considered to be the most important page in
the enlisted service record. The same is true about the
page 2 contained in an officer’s service record.
Remember the case of CPO Frost? Do you now
understand how important your job is to help each
enlisted and officer service member make certain his or
her page 2 is accurate, complete, and up to date? Of
course, all pages in the service record are important;
however, page 2 is especially important because the
benefits of individuals such as yourself, your
dependents, or your NOK are based on the accuracy of
the information contained on this page. A good PN
knows this and does his or her part.
There are steps you can take to help your shipmates
keep their page 2s up to date. Your first step is to update
an individual’s page 2 as soon as possible after he or she
provides you the information required to make the
appropriate changes. Do not allow any shipmate’s page
2 to stay in your incoming basket for days. Type and
process all page 2s as soon as you can.
Your command should establish a requirement for
a command-wide periodic update of this very important
page. It is recommended that page 2 be reviewed and,
if necessary, updated at least every 6 months. This is a
minimum requirement. Of course, any shipmate’s page
2 can be reviewed and updated as frequently as
necessary. For example, if your shipmates review and
update their individual page 2s approximately 3 months
before a deployment, you should definitely make sure
all page 2s are again reviewed and updated before the
deployment.
There are ways you can keep your shipmates
informed about their own responsibilities. One method
you can use to inform all personnel about the
requirement for updating their page 2s is by publishing
a Plan of the Day (POD) note. You can also contact the
division chiefs and/or division officers and inform them
about the requirement. If you are serving ashore, you
can contact the PASS liaison representatives so that they
may inform all their personnel to report to the
PERSUPPDET. If a service member is assigned duty at
a location such as an American Embassy overseas and
his or her record will be maintained at a location far
