  1. Navy Policy, Guidelines and Official Statements

    This forum covers Bupers & NPC AlNavs and NavAdmins messages that have been released by the Navy regarding policies, guidelines and other official statements. This might be some good read for career minded Sailors who should be aware of official Navy policies. Most posts will come from NPC's AlNavs and NavAdmins as well as the official Navy.mil website but not all information is generated from those sources. As can been seen by the views, many enlisted Sailors visit this area to get caught up on official releases.

      Musk, Ramaswamy Proposal to Slash Spending Could Include VA Medical Services

      A plan by the incoming Trump administration to slash government funding could kneecap Department of Veterans Affairs health care. In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal this week, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped to lead the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency," confirmed that they plan to target "unauthorized" federal spending, a category that includes the VA's medical services.

      Hegseth and Collins’ push for cutting veterans health benefits alarms servicemembers and veterans groups

      It was March 2018, and then-President Donald Trump was meeting with his Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary, Dr. David Shulkin, about how to reform veteran health care. But it was Hegseth, then a Fox News personality, whose opinion Trump really wanted. Hegseth, now Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of defense, had been a vocal and persistent advocate for veterans having unfettered access to private health care, rather than having to go through the VA to keep their benefits. He’s also lobbied for policies that would restrict VA care and believes veterans should ask for fewer government benefits.

      First U.S. Warship Fitted for Hypersonic Missiles Back in the Water

      The first guided-missile destroyer fitted for conventional hypersonic missiles is back in the water after more than a year of modifications. Ingalls Shipbuilding undocked USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) and the ship is now pierside at the Pascagoula, Miss., shipyard, HII announced in a Friday statement. “The undocking marked the completion of significant modernization work at Ingalls since the ship arrived at the Pascagoula shipyard in August 2023,” reads the statement from HII. “Shortly after its arrival, the ship was put back on land in order to receive technology upgrades including the integration of the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) weapon system. The Ingalls team also replaced the original twin 155mm Advanced Gun Systems on the destroyers with new missile tubes.”
