Sinan Pasha ( Ottoman admiral ) Sinanüddin Yusuf Pasha or in short Sinan Pasha ( Croatian : " Sinan - paša " ) , ( died 21 December 1553 ) was a Kapudan Pasha ( Fleet Admiral ) of the Ottoman Navy for nearly four years between 1550 and the end of 1553 , during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent . He was of Croatian descent , the predecessor of Piyale Pasha in this rank and the brother of Grand Vizier Damat Rüstem Pasha , who in turn was married to Sultana Mihrimah , a daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent . Sinan Pasha and Turgut Reis collaborated on several naval expeditions in the Mediterranean Sea , particularly on the coasts of Italy and North Africa . Sinan was not an expert on naval issues as much as Turgut Reis , who was a more popular commander among the admirals and captains of the navy , and this often caused conflict between the two . In an incident following the Ottoman conquest of Tripoli in 1551 , the entire Ottoman fleet left Sinan Pasha on the shore and followed Turgut Reis into the Tyrrhenian Sea , declaring that they would accept only Turgut as their commander . Turgut Reis , however , considered this to be mutiny and treason and ordered them to return . Disturbed by this conflict , but favouring the talent of Turgut Reis , Sultan Suleiman ordered Sinan Pasha to " " do whatever Turgut says . " " Most Ottoman seamen of that time , however , believed that Turgut Reis deserved the rank of Sinan Pasha . There are conflicting descriptions about Sinan Pasha ' s character . The Ottoman historian Peçevî wrote that " " Sinan Pasha was a proud and megalomaniac man who would not listen to the opinions and complaints of others . He had a cold gaze . " " However , a Spanish historian of that period wrote that " " Sinan Pasha was a tall and strong man with a truly handsome face and a gallant heart . He was also very kind . " " Sinan Pasha died on 21 December 1553 in his palace which was located at the present Sultanahmet Square in İstanbul , and was later buried at the garden of Mihrimah Sultan Mosque in Üsküdar , which was designed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan . Sinan Pasha had ordered the construction of a grand mosque with his name in the Beşiktaş district and wanted to be buried there , but the mosque could not be completed in time . Even though he had two daughters and a son , he left his entire fortune to Mihrimah Sultan ( Sultana Mihrimah ) , the daughter of Sultan Suleiman and wife of his brother , Grand Vizier Rüstem Pasha .

Marine Corps Key Volunteer Network The Key Volunteer Network ( KVN ) was an official United States Marine Corps family readiness program . The network consists of Marine spouses called Key Volunteers and they serve in both active duty and reserve units . KVs receive formal training either from classes on base or on - line and are appointed by the unit Commander . The KVN structure includes a Key Volunteer Advisor ( KVA ) who is usually the Commanding Officer ’ s spouse ( or spouse of another senior officer ) , a Key Volunteer Coordinator ( KVC ) who is the Executive Officer ’ s spouse ( or spouse of another senior officer ) as well as a number of additional Key Volunteers ( KV ) who are spouses of other Marines within the unit . The Commanding Officers ( CO ) of individual active duty units rely on the KVN to provide additional support and resource referrals to the Marine families of that unit . Reserve units also utilize the KVN . However , if a unit is widely geographically dispersed , the CO may appoint a parent to serve as a KV or KVC . Marine Forces Reserve parents that are local often have insight into resources and assistance that are available and helpful to unit families . The goal of the KVN is to help families achieve and maintain family readiness . This means that they communicate official command information as directed , serve as a communication link between the command and families , and provide information to Marine families through resource referrals as needed . During deployment s , the KVN is especially important because they are further utilized as a communications tool to keep families of Marines better informed about mission ( s ) and tasks of individual units . The Marine Corps believes that if Marines feel their families are supported and taken care of , they are better able to perform efficiently , effectively and safely .
