Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented and dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon, said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials. -

REF B IS NAVADMIN 255/24, BILLET BASED ADVANCEMENTS 2025. REF C IS NAVADMIN 112/25, BILLET BASED ADVANCEMENT 2025 UPDATE. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides advance change notice to the advancement manual for enlisted personnel, reference (a). This change and references (b) and (c) will be incorporated into the revised advancement manual on or about December 2025. 2. Billet Based Advancement (BBA) is expanding to include advancements for eligible E6 candidates for all active duty ratings during the March 2026 Rating Knowledge Exam (RKE) cycle with the exception of the following ratings: Submarine, Nuclear, Musicians (MU), Special Warfare Operators (SO), Special Warfare Boat Operators (SB), Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) and Selected Reserves (SELRES). Sailors in these communities will continue to be advanced via the legacy processes. The March 2026 RKE will be utilized to support BBA eligibility. Sailors who pass the RKE may begin applying for advancement opportunities in the August 2026 MyNavy Assignment (MNA) cycle. 3. Command Advance to Position (CA2P) Eligibility. Effective immediately, the minimum time on station requirement for CA2P eligibility has been removed. Commands may only recommend assigned Sailors for CA2P via a Member Realignment Request (MRR) in MNA to fill billets that are projected to be vacant within six months or less. Requests will be initiated using 'CA2P' as the MNA request reason for the transaction. a. Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC), Type Commanders (TYCOMS), or Budget Submitting Offices (BSOs) may also submit IntraUnit CA2P requests to reassign eligible Sailors to another command with a billet available in the next higher paygrade. These moves must be between activities with the same type of duty (sea or shore) and within the same geographic area. b. All CA2P requests will be adjudicated by PERS4. Sailors approved for CA2P sea duty, will be required to obligate service for a minimum of 36 months and will be extended 36 months onboard from the date of advancement. c. Sailors approved for CA2P shore duty, will be required to obligate service for a minimum of 36 months from the date of advancement, while maintaining their original shore tour length. CA2P requests may not be submitted for Sailors within 12 months of their PRD. 4. Senior Enlisted Marketplace (SEM) changes. Advancement Request Alignment (ARA). ARA is only available to board screened Sailors. a. The MRR window for submitting ARAs will open four times a year, starting the day after Detailer Selections and closing the day after TYCOM Requisition Review in the months of January, April, July, and October. This timeframe ensures that ARAs are submitted in alignment with the Sailors selected for assignments through the MNA and TYCOM Requisition Review process, allowing for efficient tracking and review. Requests will be submitted in MNA via a crossdeck or comptour personnel manning action and use 'ARA' as the reason. b. All Sailors approved for ARA will be issued orders; however, if the ARA approved billet has a required Distribution Navy Enlisted Classification Code associated with the billet sequence code, only UICs designated as 'sea duty' will have training included in the orders. c. Commands may request ARA via a MRR in MNA to fill billets that are projected to be vacant within six months or less. d. SEM Eligibility Timeline. Effective FY-27 screening boards, eligibility will be expanded from 24 months to 30 months. Sailors have up to 30 months to be selected for a job in the next higher paygrade. 5. For questions regarding BBA, please contact MyNavy HR at srenlistedmarket.fct@navy.mil or bba.fct@navy.mil. 6. Released by Vice Admiral Jeffrey J. Czerewko, N1.//

This is the seventh known strike in a series of recent attacks by the US military on vessels that the Trump administration says are involved in drug trafficking. It comes days after another strike on an alleged drug boat that CNN reported appeared to be the first time an attack did not kill everyone on board. President Donald Trump said Saturday the survivors of that strike were released to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia.
