      Veteran who claimed George Santos stole money for his dying dog says FBI has reached out to him

      The FBI has contacted a Navy veteran, Richard Osthoff, as part of an investigation into embattled Rep. George Santos and a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Osthoff's sick service dog. Osthoff confirmed the call from the FBI, and sources familiar with the matter confirmed the nature of the investigation -- which adds to the growing list of legal issues and controversies Santos, R-N.Y., is facing.

REF E IS BUPERSINST 1430.16G, ADVANCEMENT MANUAL FOR ENLISTED PERSONNEL OF THE U.S. NAVY AND U.S. NAVY RESERVE.// RMKS/1. This ALNAVRESFOR message supersedes reference (a) with updates to the E5 to E6 MAP policy and provides guidance for Calendar year (CY) 2023 Season One (S1) Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors, beginning 1 March and ending 31 April 2023. 2. We continue to refine and improve MAP to empower reserve command triads to identify and recognize their most talented Sailors through meritorious advancement process. Our Reserve Force is a predominantly prior service force with unique accession pathways. SELRES overall rating health and advancement outlook is similar but not identical to AC/TAR planning factors. Reserve MAP has specific controls to ensure that our force maintains a balanced and healthy total advancement opportunity percentage for each rating. 3. The Navy Reserve Force will continue to convene an Echelon II MAP board for E-4 to E-5 and E-5 to E-6 candidates in readiness units and all E-5 to E-6 controlled ratings for operational and CNIFR units. The new E-5 to E-6 quota policy is discussed in paragraph 9. The ECH II MAP board will ensure MAP selections are determined utilizing a board precept, convening order and selection standards consistent with promotion boards. 4. CY23 Reserve MAP Season One a. Each MAP season is aligned with the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycles to reward the best performing Sailors. This will require command triads to select their best and fully qualified Sailors for MAP nominations, without regard to NWAE results; however, it does not relieve Sailors from the need to prepare and study for the technical rating information tested by the NWAE. b. Season one window: 1 March- 31 April 2023. c. All Navy Reserve Units must request Unit Approver access using NSIPS. Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) and Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) Commands must request RCC Approver and ISIC Approver access respectively. MAP-R NSIPS tutorials are located at https://www.nsips.navy.mil under the training tab. Reference (b) contains guidance on NSIPS MAP-R user roles. 5. Eligibility. MAP is open to all E-3, E-4 and E-5 Sailors who meet MAP advancement eligibility requirements per references (d) and (e) and are in a valid pay billet. Prior Service Re-enlistment Eligibility - Reserve (PRISE-R) Sailors are eligible only if their new rate is permanent before 1 March 2023. a. Sailors may only meritoriously advance one paygrade. Sailors in a frocked status are not eligible for advancement to the next higher paygrade until advanced (i.e., frocked E-5 cannot be meritoriously advanced to E-6). b. MAP Time-in-Rate (TIR) requirements. The minimum TIR dates must be on or before: (1) E-6: 1 January 2022 (2) E-5: No TIR requirement (3) E-4: No TIR requirement c. Mobilized, Definite Recall, ADOS, and Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Sailors. Sailors who are currently mobilized or serving on Definite Recall, ADOS, or CANREC orders may compete for a SELRES MAP nomination opportunity. They are not eligible for AC/TAR quotas. Nomination packages for Sailors on Mobilization, Definite Recall, and ADOS orders must be submitted in NSIPS via the automation tool by the Sailor's respective Navy Reserve Unit (specifically their Unit Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC)). Nomination packages for Sailors on CANREC orders must be submitted manually to CNRF via their respective recruiting region. Nomination package for Sailors supporting the Navy Reserve Center on long term ADOS or Definite Recall orders must be submitted manually to the REDCOM. d. Per reference (c), Sailors must complete PMK-EE for the desired advancement paygrade to be eligible for the Meritorious Advancement Program. e. Required attachments for E-4 to E-5 and E-5 to E-6 MAP candidates (all readiness units and operational units submitting a Sailor in a controlled rating listed in paragraph 9) (1). MAP nominations submitted in the automation tool must contain evaluations from 1 March 2021 through 1 March 2023. Packages submitted without the required evaluations will be determined ineligible for MAP unless a waiver is submitted in the NSIPS MAP Package. 6. Nominations. The list of MAP nominations by UIC for operational and readiness units will be loaded into the NSIPS automation tool and visible to unit leadership once user role permissions have been granted. MAP nomination opportunities are allocated as follows: a. CANREC. Each Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) will compete for nominations within their respective region (East, West or Central) and are allotted two E-6 nominations for each region. Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) HQ and PERS-9 are allotted one E-6 nomination each. 7. E-3 to E-4 MAP process: a. The authority to select and MAP Sailors to E-4 is delegated to reserve unit Commanding Officers (CO). Readiness and operational unit COs are authorized to MAP their most deserving E-3 Sailor to E-4. b. Each Unit CO will receive one E-3 to E-4 MAP quota. c. Advanced Electronic Field and Advanced Technical Field ratings are ineligible for E-4 MAP due to rating requirements described in reference (d). 8. E-4 to E-5 MAP process for operational units and CNIFR units: a. The authority to elect and MAP Sailors to E-5 is delegated to each squadron CO, operational unit CO and NIFR CO. b. Each operational unit CO and squadron CO will receive one E-5 MAP quota. c. Each NIFR CO will receive eight E-5 quotas for their region. 9. Policy update for E-5 to E-6 MAP process for operational units and CNIFR units: a. The authority to elect and MAP Sailors to E6 is delegated to each squadron CO, operational unit CO and NIFR CO. b. In order to control over advancing particular E6 rates and to maintain rating health, several ratings will be controlled. MAP candidates in controlled ratings will not automatically be advanced. Instead, they will be reviewed at the ECH II MAP board, where their full MAP package will be evaluated. c. Controlled ratings: ABF1, ABH1, AC1, AD1, AE1, AM1, AME1, AO1, AT1, AWF1, AWO1, AWR1, AWS1, AZ1, CE1, CS1, CTT1, CTR1, DC1, EA1, EM1, EN1, EOD1, ET1, ETV1, FC1, FCA1, FT1, GSE1, GSM1, ITS1, LN1, MC1, MM1, MMA1, MN1, MR1, ND1, PR1, PS1, QM1, RP1, SB1, RS1, SO1, STG1, SW1, TM1 and UT1. 10. Process: a. To utilize E-3 to E-4, E-4 to E-5 and E5 to E6 MAP quotas, NSIPS must be used to process and validate the meritorious advancement. NSIPS ensures the UMUIC submits qualified Sailors for meritorious advancement. MAP Unit Approvers will use steps 1-4 in paragraph 10b of this message for MAP validation. b. NSIPS utilizes mandatory gates for MAP submission. Following the below steps is crucial for MAP quota usage and must be completed NLT 2359 on 20 March 2023 by the MAP Unit Approver. (1) MAP Unit Approver selects the E-3/E-4/E-5 Sailor in NSIPS. (2) MAP Unit Approver marks each "nomination comments" blocks N/A. Controlled ratings must submit a full package. (3) MAP Unit Approver will upload 2022 PFA results and current evaluation to satisfy system requirements. (4) MAP Unit Approver will save the document which will automatically be forwarded on 20 March 2023 at 2359 to the respective ISIC. (5) REDCOM MAP approvers will rank all submissions alphabetically NLT 2359 on 31 March 2023 and save the selection. 11. Timeline. The MAP automation tool is designed to route MAP packages automatically on the dates below. Failure to comply with selection due dates is irrevocable and commands will forfeit their opportunity to submit MAP nomination package(s) for season one. a. 20 March 2023: Deadline for all readiness and operational units to submit nomination packages in NSIPS.

REDCOMs shall follow guidance in 10b(5).
