This NAVADMIN announces the guidance for the administration of the fall 2022 (cycle 111) Navy-wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors in paygrades E-5 through E-6 and E-4 Prior Service Reenlistment Eligibility Reserve (PRISE-R) candidates and the use of an alternative final multiple score (FMS) rank-order method without an exam for all other SELRES E-4 advancement candidates. E-4 candidates (with the exception of PRISE-R) will not participate in an exam, but will be given the opportunity for advancement using an alternative FMS rank-order method, without the inclusion of an exam score from a proctored exam. E-4 PRISE-R, E-5 and E-6 candidates will be administered NWAEs in August per reference (a). All candidates serving on voluntary recall, mobilization or as Canvasser Recruiters (CANREC) will compete for advancement as a SELRES. 2. Timeline a. 30 June 2022: Professional Military Knowledge – Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) completion deadline. b. 1-31 August 2022: E-4 PRISE-R, E-5 and E-6 exam administration. c. 31 August 2022: Enlisted advancement worksheet (EAW) completion due date. E-4 (with the exception of PRISE-R) exams are cancelled, but EAWs must still be completed by this date. 3. Eligibility Requirements. For all E-4 through E-6 candidates, eligibility requirements are found in chapter 2 of reference (a), with the following information specific only to cycle 111: a. The terminal eligibility date used to compute time in rate (TIR) for E-4 through E-6 is 1 January 2023. b. The minimum TIR date must be on or before: (1) E-6 - 1 January 2020 (2) E-5 - 1 January 2022 (3) E-4 - 1 July 2022 c. E-6 candidate TIR requirements for early promote (EP) Sailors can be waived by one year with commanding officer (CO)/officer in charge (OIC) approval, in line with paragraph 214 of reference (a). Cycle 111 EAW must be manually created for all E-6 EP TIR waiver authorized candidates. d. High-year tenure (HYT) date for E-4 through E-6 must be effective 1 January 2023, or later. HYT waivers must be approved prior to 1 August 2022 to be able to participate in cycle 111. e. Candidates who have submitted a formal written request for voluntary transfer to the retired reserve (with or without pay) or Fleet Reserve on a date prior to their mandated HYT are ineligible for advancement. f. Candidates in a rating requiring a security clearance must have a favorable investigation adjudication by the Department of Defense central adjudication facility reflected properly in the Defense Information System for Security (DISS) prior to 1 August 2022. If the CO of the candidate grants an interim clearance, it must be entered in DISS prior to 1 August 2022. Candidates must maintain security clearance eligibility throughout the advancement cycle to be eligible for advancement. If, for any reason, a clearance is denied, revoked or not reflected in DISS, an exam is not authorized and commands will not allow candidates to take the exam until the discrepancy is corrected or a new clearance is granted and is properly reflected in the candidates EAW. Ratings requiring a security clearance are AC, AE, AG, AO, AT, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AZ, CTI, CTN, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, ETV, FC, FCA, GM, HT, IS, IT, ITS, LN, MA, MC, MMA, MN, ND, OS, QM, SB, SO, STG, STS, TM and YN. Refer to references (a) and (b) for additional guidance. g. Branch class and special program indicator (SPI) code. All SELRES including CANREC are required to take the cycle 111 SELRES NWAE. Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR), although still referred to as FTS in some systems, with a SPI code of V will take cycle 256 (E-4 through E-6) Active-Duty NWAEs. h. For candidates eligible for advancement to E-4 and E-5, compute performance mark average (PMA) using all applicable evaluations in the current pay grade of the candidate with an ending date that falls within the following periods: (1) E-4 - 1 January 2022 to 31 July 2022 (2) E-5 - 1 June 2021 to 31 July 2022 i. For candidates eligible for advancement to E-6, calculate the reporting seniors cumulative average (RSCA) PMA, as outlined in reference (d), using evaluations in the current paygrade of the candidate with the ending date that falls within the time period 1 August 2019 to 31 July 2022. j. Refer to reference (d) and paragraph 308 of reference (a) for additional guidance on RSCA PMA and PMA including guidance on establishing PMA for new accessions that have graduated from *A* school and do not have a current evaluation. k. For guidance on establishing EAW user roles and completing worksheets, refer to reference (e). EAW is mandatory for cycle 111 and will be the authority for PMA, RSCA PMA and awards. l. PMK-EE is mandatory for all cycle 111 candidates competing for advancement, even if no NWAE is being administered, and must be successfully completed once for the exam paygrade. E6 EP TIR waiver candidates are not exempt from completing the PMK-EE requirement by the deadline. Commands must identify candidates early and Sailors should be completing PMK-EE requirement to be eligible for participation ahead of an advancement cycle. The PMK-EE completion deadline is 30 June 2022, in accordance with reference (f). No Sailor competing for advancement shall be permitted to participate in the advancement cycle without having a completed PMK-EE for the exam paygrade. For E-3 and E-4 new accession candidates authorized PMK-EE completion deadlines, refer to references (h) and (i). m. PRISE-R Sailors required to participate in the NWAE to complete their rate conversion are only required to complete the PMK-EE if they are an E-3 and are eligible for advancement in conjunction with testing to complete rate conversion. n. Commands must accurately validate, complete and finalize all EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). E-4 EAW accuracy is critical since Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) will be reprogrammed to use finalized E-4 EAWs (with the exception of PRISE-R) rather than the candidate exam answer sheets to create E-4 candidate records. The success of this process will be dependent upon the accurate completion of E-4 EAWs to establish advancement cycle participation. Cycle 111 E-4 EAWs must be completed by 31 August 2022. 4. Exam ordering. Order exams in line with chapter 4 of reference (a). a. Deploying commands and candidates departing to congressionally- designated combat zones and approved contingency operations areas (CDCZ/ACOA) can order exams up to six months prior to the scheduled exam date. For additional guidance, refer to chapter 4 and paragraph 614 of reference (a). b. Sensitive compartmented information (SCI) exams. Cryptologic technician interpretive (CTI), cryptologic technician networks (CTN) and cryptologic technician collection (CTR) SCI exam ordering requirements can be found on the NEAS website via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/command-information. Select Command Advancement Tools, then NEAS website. Educational Services Officers (ESOs) must verify initial TIR eligibility lists on the NEAS website for exam ordering. Supplemental SCI exams are ordered via message-formatted e-mail to sfly_cryptologic.products(at)navy.mil or naval message following the guidelines with chapter 4 of reference (a). Check NEAS Web for additional exam ordering information. c. Non-SCI Exams. Exam ordering requirements can be found on the NEAS website via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/command-information. Select Command Advancement Tools, then NEAS Website. ESOs must verify TIR eligibility lists on the NEAS website. (1) Eligible candidates who were not added to the initial TIR list can be added to a supplemental TIR list. The deadline to order supplemental SELRES exams is 31 August 2022. d. All candidate exam orders not included on the initial TIR list must be ordered in NEAS web by entering a Department of Defense identification (DoD ID) for each candidate instead of by e-mail or naval message. This is a change to guidelines in chapter 4 of reference (a). e. Exams for CDCZ/ACOA Sailors or recalled reservists will be ordered by the command holding the service record of the service member. Authority is granted for these candidates to be administered exams with the active duty exam administration. However, all SELRES including CANREC candidates are still required to take the cycle 111 SELRES exam and not the cycle 256 (E-4 through E-6) active duty exam. f. When an exam is not used during the normally scheduled event, do not destroy the exam prior to 1 October 2022. g. Cycle 111 exams should only be administered from 1-31 August 2022. Refer to paragraphs 4.g.(1) and 4.g.(2) below for requests to retain exams for late administration on a next drill weekend in September 2022. Approved late administrations must be administered prior to 1 October 2022. Administration for all late exam administrations will follow guidelines in references (a) and paragraph 4.f.(1) and 4.f.(2). (1) Since SELRES candidates may take the NWAE anytime from 1-31 August 2022, annual training (AT) and additional duty for training (ADT) orders are not a valid reason for Sailors to take the late exam. ESOs shall ensure that Sailors take the NWAE prior to going on AT/ADT orders or when Sailors return from their AT/ADT. If a Sailor will be on AT/ADT during the entire time of the scheduled advancement exam window, then the ESO shall coordinate with the gaining command to forward the Sailor's exam and EAW. (2) Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) (N321) has the final approval for all late exam administration requests, but all SELRES late administration requests must come through the Navy Reserve Force ESOs prior to contacting NETPDC. The Command ESO must e- mail the Navy Reserve Force ESOs at CNRFC_Reserve_Forces_ESO(at)navy.mil and carbon copy their immediate superior in command ESOs for validation of their late exam administration request. Once the Reserve Force ESOs validate the reason of the request, the command ESO will request approval from NETPDC to allow the Sailor to take the late exam. A request for approval from NETPDC must be submitted with justification via e-mail to sfly_N321_exam_order(at)navy.mil for permission to retain exams for late administration on a next drill weekend in September 2022. Ensure the reason for a requested delay and Commander, Navy Reserve Forces command ESO validation are included. h. ESOs must verify the exam orders at the *View Previous Exam Orders* link via the NEAS website within seven to ten days of placing the order. If exam order discrepancies are noted, contact the fleet services branch, NETPDC (N321) as listed on the NEAS website at NETPDC (N321) point of contact table. 5. Exam administration and answer sheet returns. a. Every effort should be made to ensure appropriate COVID-19 mitigation measures are in place, in line with reference (g). b. Following the administration of exams, it is critical that ESOs expeditiously mail in answer sheet packages to NETPDC (N321). Do not hold exams until the end of the testing month. Prompt return of answer sheets will help ensure results are released in a timely manner. For answer sheet return instructions, refer to chapter 6 of reference (a). b. ESOs must check the exam tote board on the NEAS website often to ensure answer sheets have been received and processed. The tote board can be accessed via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/command-information. Select Command Advancement Tools, then Exam Toteboard. Answer sheets with errors will not be counted until they are processed successfully. c. All eligible candidates serving on voluntary recall, mobilization or as CANREC will compete for advancement as a SELRES and participate in this advancement cycle. 6. Discrepancy Correction a. A detailed discrepancy list can be found at the NEAS website via MyNavy Portal. For guidance on discrepancy correction requirements, refer to chapters 3 and 7 of reference (a). b. Post-exam administration discrepancy correction correspondence with NETPDC (N321) is to be submitted using the EAW post-exam administration comments (PAC) function, refer to reference (e). All corrections must have CO/OIC letter and supporting documentation included as attachments. Education point corrections require a submission of a screen shot of the joint service transcript display indicating the degree type and date of completion. c.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday passed historic legislation that would expand eligibility for health care and benefits to veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins. The bill, which is called the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022, or PACT Act, passed by a vote of 84 to 14. Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., did not vote. The legislation will now return to the House for that chamber’s approval.

House appropriators want the Navy to keep five Littoral Combat Ships but will allow the service to decommission four, according to text of the Fiscal Year 2023 defense spending bill. The legislation, released today by the House Appropriations Committee, would complicate the Navy’s plans to decommission nine Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ships next year.

Some sailors have received a COVID-19 vaccine that is developed differently from existing vaccines and could overcome religious objections that have been fought over in federal court. A small percentage of sailors received Novavax COVID-19 while overseas, where the shot is considered approved, said Ed Gulick, a spokesperson for Navy medicine. Novavax is seeking emergency use authorization from the FDAA for its version of a COVID-19 vaccine. However, that approval could be delayed, according to Axios. Novavax developed a protein-based vaccine, which is a common method for vaccines, against COVID-19. Some have theorized that those uncomfortable with the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna due to their reliance on a certain line of fetal cells and idea that the mRNA changes their bodies may be more willing to get the Novavax option, according to science journal Nature.

The Navy has rescued the four crew members of a helicopter that crashed in California on Thursday, according to the service. During flight training in El Centro, Calif., an MH-60S from the “Merlins” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 3 went down at about 6 p.m., Naval Air Forces said in a news release. “This evening at approximately 6 p.m., an MH-60S Seahawk crashed near El Centro, Calif. while conducting a routine training flight from Naval Air Facility El Centro. All four of the aircrew on board survived the crash and have been safely recovered,” the Navy said. “One of the aircrew has suffered non-life threatening injuries and has been transported to a local hospital. The helicopter was assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 3, based at Naval Air Station North Island, Calif.”

The key factors that make up military life were found to be significant contributors to food insecurity for military families and could hinder the ability of the armed forces to recruit and retain troops if it isn’t addressed, according to two reports released this week. Frequent moves, including to areas with a high cost of living, and high spouse unemployment are two of the factors unique to military life that were found to impact the ability of military families to purchase enough nutritious food. Other factors identified include adding a new family member, unexpected expenses, natural disasters and the rising cost of living, according to reports from the Military Family Advisory Network and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

I'm waiting also - nothing yet for the public release. Anyone?

ROUTINE R 022013Z JUN 22 MID200001775961U FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 036/22 MSGID/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/JUN// SUBJ/LEADERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY ALNAV// RMKS/1. Since taking the oath to serve as Secretary of the Navy, one of my three enduring priorities is empowering our people. We do this through a culture of warfighting excellence built on leadership that exudes treating others with dignity and respect. While serving as your Secretary these past 10 months, several issues have come across my desk for decision or review that galvanized the significance of steadfast leadership and total accountability in our Department of the Navy (DON). I fully endorse the leadership principles and expectations shared in the Chief of Naval Operations' "Charge of Command" and the "Command and Leadership" summary outlined in the Commandant's Planning Guidance. There are a few tenets to highlight. Leaders in key roles - especially those in command - are selected based on years of training, experience, qualifications, established requirements, and a multitude of distinct factors. These leaders are the best and most fully qualified. The special trust, confidence, and responsibility placed on the leaders in command also brings a higher level of accountability. The Command and Leadership section of General David H. Berger's Planning Guidance states that "elite organizations do not accept mediocrity and they do not look the other way when teammates come up short of expectations." When leaders' actions or inactions result in the loss of life or capital resources or simply lower our standards, the senior leadership of the DON has a responsibility to determine the root cause and hold responsible persons appropriately accountable. Leaders in command have the ultimate responsibility for capital resources entrusted to us by Congress and the American taxpayer. I would encourage all leaders - especially those in command - to continually assess your team's performance, to communicate early and often on material readiness and resources shortfalls as well as impediments to improvement and always ask for help when needed. Clear command and control (C2) is paramount. I challenge each of you in positions of leadership to precisely understand your C2 and what authorities and responsibilities you hold under your charge. Admiral Michael M. Gilday's "Charge of Command" states that although we have no tolerance on key issues such as Sexual Assault or Harassment, we are not a zero-defect organization. I agree that not every mistake should end one's career of service. Learning from mistakes is an essential part of evolving into a better leader and ultimately a better organization. In closing, I am proud of each and every one of you who serves. While leadership at times may be challenging, it is incredibly rewarding and will shape us to be the very best version of ourselves. We must cherish the special trust, confidence, and responsibility that comes with command and should never take it for granted. The lives of our Sailors, Marines, and DON civilians depend on it. Our Nation demands it. 2. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) and (b) pursuant to the consolidated travel guidance in reference (c). This NAVADMIN additionally provides additional guidance on mission-critical travel for unvaccinated individuals and updates Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) guidance for meetings. 2. Summary. Travel and personnel movement must consider COVID-19 related Force Health Protection (FHP) measures to protect the health and safety of the force, maintain mission readiness and comply with federal, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of the Navy (DON) and Host Nation (HN) guidelines. Guidelines have adjusted over time due to the dynamic COVID-19 environment. FHP measures are now consolidated in Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD(PR)) guidance (reference (c)) which will be regularly updated as guidelines change. This guidance should be frequently referenced for the latest FHP guidance on travel and personnel movement. Reference (c) is available at the following website and all commands and organizations should monitor the website to ensure they review the most current version: https://www.defense.gov/Spotlights/Coronavirus-DOD-Response/Latest-DOD- Guidance//. 3. Applicability. This guidance applies to all Navy Service Members and their dependents. 4. Travel and Personnel Movement Updated Guidance and Requirements. The DoD conditions-based approach to COVID-19 personnel movement and travel (reference (d)) has been rescinded with the issuance of the consolidated guidance in reference (c). The conditions-based approach formed the foundation of reference (a), which is cancelled by this NAVADMIN. It remains paramount that personnel at all levels continue to ensure appropriate FHP measures are implemented and the risk assessment in reference (c) be completed prior to travel. a. Reference (c) contains detailed guidance on travel for service members and their dependents, as well as DoD civilians and contractors, and bases the guidance on location of travel and whether the travel is official or unofficial. It also provides testing and restriction of movement requirements. That guidance should be followed unless more restrictive Navy specific guidance is provided. The guidance in reference (b), which is cancelled by this NAVADMIN, is replaced with the testing guidance in reference (c). During all official travel, travelers will follow all applicable federal, state, local and commercial air carrier requirements and applicable HN requirements. b. Specific guidance for personnel movement for Navy operational units is contained in reference (e). 5. Official travel for fully vaccinated individuals. In line with reference (c), fully vaccinated individuals are not restricted from official travel, both domestic and international. 6. Official travel for individuals not fully vaccinated. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated, or who decline to provide information about their vaccination status, are limited to only mission-critical official travel, both domestic and international. In any case, travel of unvaccinated individuals should be minimized. Requests for official travel by unvaccinated personnel outside of the following categories will be routed to the Under Secretary of the Navy (UNSECNAV) for decision via the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP), the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASN MRA). In line with reference (f), official travel by unvaccinated personnel, or those who decline to provide information about their vaccination status, is only authorized for the following mission critical purposes: a. Permanent Change of Station (PCS) travel for dependents accompanying Service Members or civilian employees who are fully vaccinated or have a permanently approved exemption. Overseas screening and medical approval is still required per current policies. b. PCS travel for unvaccinated Service Members reassigned from operational units to non-deployable units. Unvaccinated dependents of these Service Members are also authorized to travel. c. Travel of dependents associated with an approved early return of dependents authorization from an overseas post or station. d. Government funded emergency leave travel and emergency visitation travel. e. New recruits traveling to Recruit Training Command. f. Travel by patients, as well as their authorized escorts and attendants, for purposes of medical treatment. Travel by medical providers for the purposes of medical treatment for DoD personnel and their families. g. Travel by Service Members and civilian personnel approved for retirement or separation. For Service Members, travel is authorized for purposes of taking transition leave. h. Travel by Service Members under the authority of a Chief of Mission and authorized by that Chief of Mission. i. Travel by Service Members and civilian personnel not under the authority of a Chief of Mission and ordered by the appropriate DoD official to evacuate an area threatened by unusual or emergency circumstances. j. Travel associated with new civilian hiring and management directed actions to include transfers, reassignments, management directed reassignments and new civilian accessions including formal entry-level civilian accession programs such as government-funded internships and fellowships. k. Travel by civilian employees complying with overseas tour rotation agreement requirements. l. Travel in support of mission critical maintenance operations for DON assets as well as the critical assets of other services, agencies, and international partnerships that support the mission of the DON. Mission critical maintenance operations are in direct support of DON ships, submarines, aircraft, information technology equipment and infrastructure as well as other critical equipment not otherwise listed. m. Travel by Service Members from an overseas post or station that are not eligible for involuntary extension or will surpass the 180-day limit for involuntary extension. 7. Updated COVID-19 Guidance Related to Meetings. a. In line with reference (c), approval must be obtained in advance for any planned, in-person meetings, events and conferences sponsored by the DON with more than 50 participants (referred to collectively herein as *meetings*, in a county or equivalent jurisdiction where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 Community Level is high. Approval authority is the UNSECNAV and no lower. All organizations within the Navy will submit requests through the respective chain of command to the UNSECNAV for approval via ASN (MRA). To the maximum extent practicable, requests should be submitted no later than 30 days from the planned start of the event to allow for proper coordination and routing. b. For any in-person meetings in a county or equivalent jurisdiction where the CDC COVID-19 Community Level is high or medium, the meeting organizer will require all attendees, including Service Members and DoD civilian employees, to show a completed DD Form 3150, *Contractor Personnel and Visitor Certification of Vaccination.* In extenuating circumstances, the UNSECNAV may approve exceptions for attendees who are not vaccinated. These exceptions will be requested through the respective chain of command to the UNSECNAV for approval via ASN (MRA). Organizers of approved meetings will require attendees to confirm proof of vaccination and, where exceptions are granted, organizers will ensure that unvaccinated attendees meet the testing provisions of reference (c). All attendees will remain in compliance with the masking guidance within reference (g). c. For purposes of this guidance, meetings do not include military training, exercise events and operations. In addition, private social events at Morale, Welfare and Recreation facilities or events held as part of DoD Educational Activity schools functions on naval installations do not constitute meetings. 8. It is incumbent on personnel at all levels of the Navy to take personal ownership of continuing to effectively implement FHP measures and ensure they are seeking out and following the latest guidance. 9. Points of contact. Service Members with PCS questions should contact their detailer directly or through the MyNavy Career Center. MyNavy Career Center: 833-330-6622, askmncc(at)navy.mil.

REF F IS THE JOINT TRAVEL REGULATIONS. REF G IS THE DOD FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION (FMR) VOLUME 7A.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) through (c) and mandates the use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher and the Government Travel Charge Card (GTCC) for Permanent Change of Station (PCS) travel in accordance with the timelines listed in paragraph 2. The MyPCS Travel Voucher is a fully automated, electronic travel claim voucher capability introduced to the Fleet in 2019. Its use has streamlined the travel claim process, increasing accuracy and reducing processing timelines. The GTCC has also been authorized for PCS travel since 2019. These efforts are a proven capability providing Sailors and their families a reliable mean of financial support during and after a PCS move. These represent another MyNavy HR milestone toward delivering better quality of service to Sailors and their families through a modernized pay and personnel process. Reference (d) provides information and guidance to reinforce procedures for using the GTCC during a PCS travel. 2. Timeline. On 01 Jan 2022, Phase I of the mandatory use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher and GTCC for PCS travel was implemented for all Active Duty (AD) and Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) in paygrades E-9 and O-6 and above. Mandatory use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher and GTCC for PCS will expand to other paygrades as reflected below. a. MyPCS Travel Voucher: 01 Jul 2022, all AD and TAR Service Members in all paygrades are required to use the MyPCS Travel Voucher for submission of PCS travel claims, except for members reporting to commands listed in paragraph 10c. Mandated use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher was previously expanded to include Selected Reservists executing Active Duty for Operational Support and Officer Recall PCS orders. b. GTCC Phase II: 01 Jul 2022, all Service Members in paygrades E-7 and above and O-4 and above will be required to use the GTCC for PCS travel expenses. c. GTCC Phase III: 01 Jan 2023, all Service Members in all paygrades will be required to use the GTCC for PCS travel expenses. 3. Policy a. Use of the GTCC for PCS travel applies to personnel traveling on both Continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS (OCONUS) PCS orders who are: (1) Active Duty (2) Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) (3) Selected Reservists (SELRES) executing Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS) and Officer Recall PCS orders b. Use of the GTCC for PCS travel does not apply to: (1) Personnel on accession, separation, or retirement orders (2) DoD Civilian personnel and contractors (3) Individual mobilization augmentees (4) Individual Ready Reserve Navy personnel (5) Individuals not eligible to obtain a GTCC or are otherwise explicitly exempted by reference (e) c. New accessions eligible to receive a GTCC will apply for and receive their GTCC upon check-in at their first Permanent Duty Station (PDS). 4. Actions and Responsibilities. a. Commanders and supervisors. Ensure Agency Program Coordinators (APC), Command Pay and Personnel Administrators (CPPA), and GTCC cardholders adhere to all applicable instructions. Commanders and supervisors at all levels are responsible for ensuring compliance with Section 040103 of reference (e). b. APCs. APCs shall be reflected on command check-in and check- out sheets. (1) Losing command. APCs will consult with all Service Members during the check-out process and advise them of the rules, regulations, and requirement to use the GTCC for PCS travel for all authorized expenses (paragraph 5). In accordance with reference (e), APCs shall verify the cardholders GTCC is active, in a Mission Critical (MC)/PCS status, and has a zero balance prior to the Service Member detaching from the command. Credit, retail, and cash withdrawal limits above the default limits in reference (e) must be adjusted to accommodate requirements for the duration of PCS travel. If the APCs approval maximum is insufficient for the duration and requirements of PCS travel, the affected APC shall consult the next higher APC hierarchy level for further consideration. APCs shall provide MC/PCS status expiration date and advise the Service Member to call MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) to renew MC/PCS status every 90 days as necessary. (2) Gaining command. Upon arrival at the gaining command, APCs will ensure the cardholders account is transferred into the gaining command hierarchy and account status adjustments are made to update the members phone number, email address, physical mailing address or other pertinent information which changed due to the move. Under no circumstances should an APC either close a cardholders GTCC account or remove the cardholder from MC/PCS status, as it will have negative effects on the timeline towards delinquency. c. CPPAs. The CPPA shall be reflected on command check-in and check-out sheets. Gaining command CPPAs shall ensure members submit their MyPCS Travel Vouchers within five working days of arrival. d. Cardholders. Service Members using the GTCC for official government travel are encouraged to register on Citimanager (https://home.cards.citidirect.com/CommercialCard/login). Failure to use the GTCC for authorized PCS expenses may subject the cardholder to appropriate administrative or disciplinary action. (1) Before travel: During check out with the APC/CPPA, the Service Member shall provide a copy of their PCS orders, estimated PCS expenses and a contact number where the Service Member can be reached during travel. (2) During travel: Service Members shall keep receipts for all reimbursable expenses. Cardholders who have reached their credit limit or experience a declined GTCC when attempting to make an authorized purchase should call MNCC for assistance to raise their credit limit or to determine if a Merchant Category Code (MCC) block may restrict that vendor. Service Members will be reimbursed for PCS expenses up to their maximum entitlement per reference (f). Overspending of entitlements may result in personal indebtedness and the cardholder will be subject to repaying the remaining balance on the GTCC. (3) Extended PCS travel (>120 days): Cardholder accounts are placed in a MC/PCS status while a Service Member is traveling to their new PDS. MC/PCS status protects the Service Member from any payments being due on the GTCC until 60 days after coming out of MC/PCS status. Citibank program limitations only allow accounts to be in a MC/PCS status for 120 days at a time. To prevent the Citibank bill from coming due prior to the Service Member reporting to their PDS, Service Members must contact their detaching command APC or MNCC Pro Cell at (833-330-MNCC) Option 2 to have their MC/PCS status extended. Failure to extend the account in MC/PCS status may result in the Service Member being placed in a past due or delinquent status and ultimately lead to loss of GTCC privileges and potential damage to personal credit rating. (4) Upon check-in to PDS: Cardholders shall review their GTCC account for accuracy and ensure all supporting receipts are submitted using the MyPCS Travel Voucher to ensure sufficient funds are allocated to pay the full balance on the card when the travel claim is liquidated. Service Members shall check-in with the APC and CPPA to submit their travel voucher using MyPCS Travel Voucher within five working days and before executing any permissive TDY. Split disbursement is mandatory when using GTCC for PCS. (5) To verify full payment has been completed upon MyPCS Travel Voucher liquidation, Service Members shall review their Advice of Payment in MyPay. (6) MNCC will verify GTCC balance when liquidating travel claims to result in a zero balance on the GTCC. This may result in per diem funds being applied to produce a zero balance. (7) Service Members should verify their GTCC balance on Citi Manager has been paid in full after their travel has been liquidated. (8) Individual cardholders are responsible for timely payment of their GTCC balance. Any outstanding balance on the GTCC must be paid within 60 days of coming out of MC/PCS status. Account delinquency may adversely impact the Service Members assignability, financial health, security clearance, or credit history. Accounts become past due 31 days after checking in to the command. On Day 61, the GTCC is suspended. On Day 75, the cardholder is charged a 29.00 per month late fee. On Day 126, the member is submitted for enrollment in Salary Offset and on Day 211, Citibank may charge off the debt which could affect the cardholders credit. 5. Authorized and unauthorized uses of the GTCC for PCS travel. a. Service Members should note PCS travel expenses are not necessarily directly reimbursed. Reimbursement is based on PCS allowance rules in accordance with Chapter 5 of reference (f). b. The GTCC is authorized for the following travel expenses: (1) Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) at the old or new CONUS PDS. See Chapter 5 of reference (f) for information on TLE. (2) Fuel and electric vehicle charging for a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) when POV is the authorized mode of transportation. (3) Rental car and fuel, when a rental car is the authorized mode of transportation. (4) Lodging. Service Members will be reimbursed per reference (f) Chapter 2. (5) Meals. Service Members will be reimbursed per reference (f) Chapter 2. (6) Dislocation Allowance (DLA) Expenses. These are expenses related to DLA normally used to establish a household (e.g., carpet cleaning, utility deposits). If the Service Member uses the GTCC for DLA expenses and does not exceed their authorized entitlement, the member will receive the full amount of the difference when their travel claim is liquidated. If the Service Member was issued advanced DLA, the member shall not use the GTCC for DLA expenses. (7) Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or bank teller withdrawals up to the monthly cash withdrawal limit in reference (e). A 2.4 percent non-reimbursable fee applies to any amount withdrawn. ATM charges are not reimbursable expenses. c. The GTCC is not authorized for the following travel expenses: (1) DLA expenses when issued advanced DLA. (2) Dependent use without the Service Member. (3) Commercial airfare for PCS travel. Commercial airfare will continue to be booked by the Navy Passenger Transportation Office (NAVPTO). No commercial airfare charges will be made to a Service Members GTCC account including when the Service Members orders contain intermediate stops to PDS. (4) Personal travel arrangements incurred during leave in conjunction with orders. See reference (e) for further details. (5) Personally Procured Moves (PPM) operating expenses (e.g., rental truck/trailers, moving supplies, furniture pads, rope, oil, weight ticket fees). (6) Accession, separation, or retirement travel. (7) Payment of debt owed to creditors. (8) Personal expenses unrelated to travel expenses (e.g., automobile repairs, medical expenses, childcare, entertainment, or uniform items). (9) Short-term storage-in-transit (SIT) or long-term non- temporary storage (NTS) of PPMs or other household goods. (10) Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA). In accordance with reference (g), TLA may be authorized by the TLA Authority when a Service Member or dependent is reporting to an OCONUS location and needs to occupy temporary lodging at personal expense. TLA cannot be paid for with the GTCC since it is a pay entitlement, not a travel entitlement. Additionally, TLA expenses cannot be split disbursed to Citibank. 6. GTCC Misuse. Commanders, supervisors, CPPAs, and APCs will ensure Service Members using their GTCC are advised of authorized and prohibited uses of the GTCC for PCS travel. Examples of misuse include but are not limited to: a. Expenses unrelated to PCS travel. b. ATM cash withdrawals made more than three working days prior to official government travel or excessive ATM cash withdrawals for amounts exceeding authorized meals and incidental expense amounts. c. Intentional failure to pay undisputed charges in a timely manner. d. Personal use for entertainment or gambling. Military personnel who violate the specific prohibitions contained in reference (e) can be subject to administrative or disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) based on the nature of the misconduct involved. 7. Travel Advance Guidance. a. If desired and qualified per reference (f), a Service Member under PCS orders may request advanced DLA. If issued, the GTCC shall not be used for DLA expenses. b. Service Members may request an Advance Operating Allowance for Household Goods (HHG) PPMs and Advance Basic Pay and still use their GTCC for all authorized travel expenses. c. All other travel advances (per diem, mileage, Temporary Additional Duty (TAD) travel) are not authorized with concurrent use of the GTCC. Qualified exceptions will be restricted to non- concurrent travel of dependents and Service Members not eligible to receive a GTCC per reference (e). d. Use of the GTCC and receipt of travel advances for the same entitlement could result in indebtedness to the Government through over expenditure of entitlements, and Service Members may be subject to administrative and disciplinary action. 8. TLE guidance. APCs shall ensure Service Members planning on using TLE at their PDS remain in a MC/PCS status while using the GTCC for TLE expenses. The Service Member shall check-in with their CPPA immediately upon arrival and submit their MyPCS Travel Voucher within five working days regardless of whether TLE has been used. Service Members who use their GTCC for TLE expenses to their PDS should file a supplemental Travel Voucher upon completion of their temporary lodging stay via MyPCS Travel Voucher and ensure split disbursement is annotated. Reference (f) Section 0506 details TLE eligibility, reimbursement, and limits. 9. Dual-military PCS guidance. Dual-military Service Members conducting concurrent PCS moves have separate Lines of Accounting and funding allocated. Therefore, Service Members shall each use their GTCC for respective PCS expenses (meals, fuel, etc.) in accordance with this NAVADMIN and file separate MyPCS Travel Vouchers for individual travel. 10. MyPCS Travel Voucher. a. Use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher greatly reduces errors and expedites reimbursement. It provides Service Members the ability to submit an electronic travel voucher with photo upload functionality for receipts using a personal or government computer, mobile device or tablet. Additional capabilities of MyPCS Travel Voucher include the travel entitlements calculator, lean orders, and a custom- tailored PCS checklist for use before departure. It also gives Service Members and CPPAs greater visibility of the status of submitted PCS Travel Vouchers. MyPCS Travel Voucher may be accessed via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://my.navy.mil/. b. Effective 01 Jul 2022, use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher is mandatory for submission of PCS travel claims. The enterprise Customer Relationship Management (eCRM) system is a backup solution if unable to use MyPCS Travel Voucher; however, the use of eCRM will delay timely travel claim liquidation. c. Use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher is not required for GTCC users reporting to Aircraft Carriers (CVN), Submarine Tenders (AS) and Flag Ships (LCC). MyPCS Travel Voucher will be expanded to these commands this fall. d. CAC-free access using a mobile device requires the Service Member to establish a CAC-free user name and password via MNP. Using a CAC-enabled machine, go to MNP, click "Login" in the top right corner, select "Login Help & FAQs" from the drop-down, then select "How do I set up CAC-free Access?" Follow directions provided on the page. Video tutorials are available athttps://my.navy.mil/tutorials.html. Once a CAC-free account is established, the password is valid for 60 days. 11. Customer Support and Online Resources. a. Phone and email support is available 24/7 from the MNCC Pro Cell at 833-330-MNCC (6622) Option 2 or via e-mail at: askmncc(at)navy.mil, or from Citibank (800-200-7056). b.

ROUTINE R 011634Z JUN 22 MID200001761825U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 127/22 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/JUN// SUBJ/DETAILING MARKETPLACE ASSIGNMENT POLICY PHASE I UPDATE// REF/A/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/091538ZDEC21// REF/B/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/230112ZAUG08// REF/C/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/022009ZDEC19// NARR/REF A IS NAVADMIN 280/21, DETAILING MARKETPLACE ASSIGNMENT POLICY (DMAP). REF B IS NAVADMIN 234/08, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS. REF C IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides additional details and guidance regarding Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) to ensure more Sailors and commands can benefit. a. In addition to afloat commands benefitting from experienced and motivated Sailors staying at sea, DMAP plank owners selected in the recent inaugural MyNavy Assignment (MNA) cycle will: (1) Receive an increase in pay through advancement from E4 to E5, if not already E5. (2) Collect a monthly monetary incentive, Detailing Marketplace Incentive Pay (DMIP), in addition to collecting sea pay and sea pay premium. (3) Remain in the same homeport on the ship or squadron where they trained as an Apprentice Sailor if selected for Command Advance to Position (CA2P). (4) Earn an advantage in MNA for a follow-on shore tour assignment after completing their journeyman (E5) sea tour. b. Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings (ABF, ABH, CS and GSM) should anticipate maximum flexibility in determining who meets the requirements of reference (a) and minimum friction in accepting a DMAP plus- three sea tour. The MyNavy HR team will interpret every requirement within all DMAP policy guidance to ensure the greatest possible participation. 2. Projected Rotation Date (PRD) Adjustments. Effective immediately, Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40) will adjust PRDs to a 48-month tour for all E5 and E5 eligible Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings who are serving in their initial Continental United States (CONUS) sea tour. This replaces paragraph 4.f of reference (a) and alleviates the administrative burden on activities by no longer requiring submission of Electronic Personnel Action Request (NAVPERS 1306/7) for DMAP Sailors. 3. PRD Assignments for New Accession Sailors. Effective immediately, all CONUS sea duty accession orders for Sailors in the DMAP Phase I ratings will be written for an initial 48-month sea tour. Sailors who do not qualify for a journeyman (E5) sea tour after serving 3 years on their first sea tour will have their PRDs adjusted to align with their soft end of active obligated service. This replaces paragraph 4.b in reference (a) and aligns with the DMAP four- plus-three construct. 4. CA2P. To nominate a Sailor for CA2P, activities must submit a member realignment request (MRR) in MNA prior to or within the first 3 weeks of the next MNA cycle (i.e., prior to the end of the upcoming MNA scrub phase). PERS-40 will validate that the activity has a current or projected E5 funded billet vacancy and then Sailors will be ranked based on their most recent E5 examination final multiple score. If DMAP quotas are available (see paragraph 6), Sailors will: a. Be approved for CA2P. b. Be realigned to a valid E5 billet. c. Have their PRD extended for a 3 year journeyman (E5) tour or a 7 year total initial sea tour (whichever is later). d. Be frocked to E5 upon completion of agreement to obligate additional service as described above. e. Be advanced to E5 upon completion of required training and placement into a valid E5 billet. (1) Commands can frock Sailors to E5 as soon as CA2P approval is received and the Sailor has obligated service through their extended PRD, either through reenlistment or extension of enlistment. (2) Sailors will advance to E5 and begin receiving E5 pay upon filling the E5 billet and will receive DMIP for the last three years on sea duty. Transaction support centers will effect advancement to E5 upon receiving the required key supporting documents. (3) Instructions on how to submit an MRR, as well as a general list of eligibility requirements, can be found on the Detailing Marketplace webpage of the MyNavy HR website at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing- Marketplace/. (4) The full MNA schedule is available on the detailing marketplace webpage listed above. The first 3 weeks of the upcoming MNA cycles (i.e., the scrub phase) are provided below: 6 - 24 June 2022 8 - 28 August 2022 3 - 21 October 2022 5 - 22 December 2022 (5) MNA does not allow activities to submit an MRR for Sailors who are within their order negotiation window (i.e., within 12 months of their PRD). When operational requirements or PRD adjustments described in paragraph 2 above prevent MRR submissions prior to the order negotiation window, activities can submit CA2P nominations via email to DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil. If the request is approved, actions will be executed in alignment with paragraph 4. 5. Sailors on Second Sea Tour. E5 eligible Sailors (i.e., E4 Sailors who have passed the most recent E5 Navy wide advancement exam) and E5 Sailors in a DMAP Phase I rating who are on their second sea tour are eligible for DMAP incentives in return for a 3 year extension to the prescribed sea tour length listed in references (b) and (c). This provides additional advancement opportunities to E5 eligible Sailors prior to hitting E4 high year tenure. It also provides additional geographic stability options for Sailors desiring to remain in their current homeport. This is an expansion of eligibility described in paragraphs 1 and 4 of reference (a). 6. DMAP Quotas. The number of DMAP quotas available (i.e., the number of Sailors that can be on a plus-three sea tour) for each Phase I rating depends on the number of sea and shore duty billets the rating needs to fill. DMAP intends to fill sea duty billets that would remain unmanned under sea shore flow (SSF). MyNavy HR intends to phase in the number of Sailors on a plus- three journeyman (E5) sea tour across several years to ensure a smooth transition from SSF to DMAP, provide opportunity fairness and avoid a large movement of Sailors from sea to shore at the end of their plus-three journeyman (E5) sea tour. 7. Additional Considerations. DMAP represents a major paradigm shift in how the Navy mans the Fleet. As such, MyNavy HR intends to collect data and feedback to help inform future adjustments to DMAP. Sailor and command flexibility and feedback remain key enablers to ensuring success. To that end, the following considerations are provided: a. Tour Extensions. The transition from SSF to DMAP may require PERS-40 to extend Sailors in their current shore duty assignment to ensure proper manning of critical shore activities and to maximize the alignment between Sailor and billet rating and paygrade. b. C-School Quota Management. DMAP Sailors approved for CA2P or A2P who require training prior to filling a journeyman (E5) sea duty billet will be given priority placement in the appropriate C- school to the maximum extent practicable. c. Pulse Surveys. MyNavy HR intends to send pulse surveys to DMAP Phase I Sailors who negotiated for orders after each MNA cycle. This gives Sailors the opportunity to provide direct feedback that will be used in future policy development. d. Command Triad Feedback. Command triads are encouraged to provide feedback, lessons learned and suggested improvements through their immediate superior in command and type commanders. 8. Points of Contact a. For specific rate/rating/Navy enlisted classification questions and concerns, Sailors should contact their respective community manager or detailer. b. For general career information, including questions about DMIP, Advance to Position and CA2P, contact MyNavy Career Center contact center at 833-330-MNCC (6622) or askmncc(at)navy.mil. c. For DMAP questions, contact the MyNavy HR DMAP team at DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil. 9. This message will remain in effect until superseded or canceled. 10. Released by Vice Admiral John B.

(b) First Class Petty Officers awaiting CPO selection results must add the following statement at the top of the Commanding Officers endorsement: *Member is awaiting CPO results.* PERS-803 will set aside these applications until CPO results are announced. (c) First Class Petty Officer evaluations due 15 November 2022 will be submitted as an addendum per guidelines of this NAVADMIN. If selected for CPO and the pinning date is after receiving a 15 November 2022 periodic First Class evaluation, the close-out eval is not required to be submitted as an addendum. Submit the close-out evaluation as an addendum if a periodic First Class evaluation was not received. Once all of the CPO results are announced, PERS-803 will integrate or remove those records/applications accordingly. (7) WO1 (784X only): 6 to 14 years TIS for E-5 and above. TIS waivers will not be considered or exceptions granted. Cyber Warrant Officer WO1 (784X) applicants refer to eligibility requirements listed in reference (e). c. To support career progression models and maximize the return on investment for the Navy, TIS waivers must be submitted to ldocwoocm.fct(at)navy.mil before 15 July 2022 for adjudication. Approved waivers must be submitted with the application. d. Intelligence CWO (783X) applicants will be considered for selection into one of three Core Competency Areas (CCA): CI/HUMINT, GEOINT/Targeting or OPINTEL. In order to apply, applicants must request a primary CCA and those holding qualifying Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) in more than one field may request a secondary CCA (i.e., 783X CI/HUMINT / 783X OPINTEL). e. First Class Petty Officers serving in congressionally designated combat zones and approved contingency operations areas that meet the conditions of reference (f) are also eligible for LDO if all other eligibility requirements are met. f. Due to ongoing rating mergers or realignments, eligible Sailors are encouraged to apply for the designator for which they have extensive documented technical expertise and leadership experience in their enlisted service records, regardless of current rating. However, special attention should be given to the guidance in chapter 7, subparagraph 9c of reference (a) and discrete requirements. g. Applicants for designators outlined in reference (a) that have color perception requirements shall have test results documented as a telephone consult in Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application within the past 12 months, and provide hard copy or have test results documented on standard form- 600 and submitted with application. h. Applicants must maintain eligibility throughout the selection and promotion process. Applicants who are deemed ineligible after submitting an application must be declared ineligible by their current Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge (CO/OIC). A sample removal of recommendation format is located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs. Click through the following path of *Limited Duty Officer & Chief Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board* link, then *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board click here* link, then select Applicant Information, then select LDO and CWO In- Service Procurement Board to download the form (See Sample Letter of Abeyance or Removal of Recommendation). Nuclear Power LDO (620X) applicants who are deemed ineligible must be declared ineligible by their current CO via letter to the Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133). 4. Appraisal Boards. (Not required for Nuclear Power LDO 620X) Active duty interview appraisal boards will be coordinated and approved by the CO/OIC and consist of three AD Naval Officers (LDOs or CWOs preferred). The names of the approved appraisal board members must be included in the CO/OIC endorsement. Every effort (including teleconference media) should be made to ensure the senior board member is from the LDO or CWO designator family for which the applicant is applying. a. LDO applicants - it is highly recommended that the senior member of the interview panel for applicants applying for LDO be an in-designator commander (CDR) or above. If not available, a LDO CDR or above in another designator can serve in this capacity with at least one board member from the designator family. Officers who were CDR or Captain (CAPT) LDOs that converted to another designator via the Without Board Action (WOBA) process can serve as the senior member. In communities where there are no longer senior LDOs within the community, a CDR or CAPT from the parent community can act as the senior board member, (e.g., a Supply Corps (3100) CDR or CAPT for Supply (651X)) applicants. b. CWO applicants - it is highly recommended that the senior member of the interview panel for applicants applying for CWO be an in-designator CWO5. If not available, a LCDR (LDO preferred) or above can serve in this capacity with at least one board member from the in-designator or designator family (CWO preferred). c. Minimum ranks requirements for board members are Lieutenant or CWO3. d. Only three interview appraisals may be submitted for each applicant. e. Board member preparation for applicant appraisal is an important part of the board process. Review of the application, review of discrete requirements for the applicant designator, having well thought out questions on technical expertise, leadership and knowledge of the designator for which the candidate is applying, to include future career path if selected, are all great examples of board member preparation. f. The technical ability and potential blocks on the interview appraisal sheet must be marked for LDO and CWO candidates. g. Each appraisal shall contain the names of all three panel members. Only the current version of the interviewer appraisal sheet will be accepted. Interviewer appraisal sheet is located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs.

CO/OIC endorsements must contain the following statement: *Applicant meets all requirements outlined in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, NAVADMIN XXX/22, the physical fitness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J, and is worldwide assignable.* The endorsement must clearly identify the command, it must identify the members of the interview panel, must be signed by the CO/OIC and include the CO/OICs command point of contact information. A CO/OIC ranking is no longer required, or desired. e. Applicants must ensure a copy of their most recent periodic evaluation is included in the application or provided via addendum for board review and continuity if it is not already in Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). f. Applicants are not required to include an obligatory service statement to remain on active duty. g. Applicants currently serving in an Individual Augmentation Manpower Management, Global Support Assignment or Overseas Contingency Operations Support Assignment may have their application endorsed by the field commander. Field commanders must obtain parent command endorsement prior to submission. A sample format is located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs.

A Florida Veterans Affairs hospital refused treatment for a veteran dying of heart failure because first responders could not prove his military service, a clear violation of federal law, according to a new report released by a department watchdog Tuesday. The incident, which occurred at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville in summer 2020, was not the first failure by emergency medical staff there to provide care to individuals facing critical medical crises. Staff from the VA Inspector General’s Office said without policy and staffing changes, it may not be the last.

The Navy unveiled promotion quotas for E-4, E-5, and E-6 sailors in the Selected Reserve — which give these sailors a greater chance of being promoted than last year. Seamen looking to move up to petty officer third class are guaranteed they will get one of the 886 E-4 spots if they pass their advancement exam and meet other requirements. There is a 100% advancement opportunity, the same as last year.

This NAVADMIN announces an update to several uniform and grooming policies. Navy uniform policy updates directly support Sailor 2025 objectives to attract and retain the very best Sailors by finding greater flexibility in our policies and practices, including uniforms. 2. Navy Uniform Regulations apply to all Sailors equally, regardless of their rank, grade, ethnicity, position held or community assigned. Any difference between male and female grooming policies recognizes the differences between the genders. Navy uniform policy updates are the result of Fleet feedback, uniform working group discussions, command sponsored requests and direction from Navy leadership. 3. The following uniform and grooming policy changes are effective as stated: a. Female Hosiery. Effective immediately, wearing hosiery with slacks or skirts is optional vice mandatory for female Sailors when wearing pumps or flats footwear. When hosiery is not worn, shoe liners or no-show socks are required to be worn for hygienic purposes and to avoid abrasions or blisters caused by direct contact and rubbing between the foot and shoe. b. Female Officer/Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Summer White Uniform. Effective immediately, the female officer/CPO summer white uniform belted slacks are re-designated as a basic component of both summer white and service dress white uniforms. This policy change facilitates use of the same slacks for either uniform. c. Female Officer/CPO Service Dress White Uniform. Effective immediately, the beltless dress white slacks worn with the female officer/CPO Service Dress white uniform is re-designated as an optional vice mandatory component for purchase and wear. d. Rank Insignia Worn on Rank Tabs. Effective 1 October 2022, all Navy Service Members will wear the black cold weather parka (CWP) rank insignia on all uniform components with rank tabs. Uniform components requiring the black rank insignia in addition to the CWP include the Navy working uniform (NWU) type II and III shirts and parkas, black fleece liner and brown fleece liner. Matching pattern NWU type II/III rank insignia will only be worn on the NWU type II/III during tactical training and operations as designated by the applicable commanding officer. e. Retired Male Sailor Uniform Grooming Standards. Effective immediately, retired male Sailors are authorized to have facial hair (beard) when wearing Navy uniforms during authorized ceremonial events. Facial hair must be neatly groomed and be in keeping with a professional appearance. f. NWU Type III Maternity Top. Redesign of the NWU type III maternity top is in progress to include the ability to add shoulder patches to align with the design of standard NWU shirt. The availability of the redesigned maternity top will be announced in a future NAVADMIN. 4. Navy Uniform Regulations are continuously reviewed for policy applicability, accuracy, clarity and comprehension. Feedback and recommendations regarding uniform policy, uniform components and uniform availability are welcomed and can be provided via MyNavy portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/, select *Professional Resources*, *U.S. Navy Uniforms* and *Ask The Chiefs.* Feedback can also be provided via the MyNavy UNIFORMS App. 5.

REF G IS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FMR VOL 7A, MILITARY PAY POLICY - ACTIVE DUTY AND RESERVE PAY.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the updated nuclear Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) policy memorandum, reference (a). This ESRP policy memorandum and NAVADMIN supersede reference (b) and reference (c), respectively, effective 1 August 2022. The ESRP Program provides a retention incentive to senior Navy nuclear- trained enlisted Sailors with highly specialized skills. A detailed program description is outlined in reference (a) and can be found at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted/Nuclear/Enlisted-Programs/. The legal authority for ESRP is contained in section 331 of reference (d) and reference (e). Current ESRP requirements limit the program as follows: a. The minimum reenlistment length is 3 years. b. The maximum bonus amount for each year of additional obligated service (AOS) is limited to 30,000 dollars as stated in section 331 of reference (d). The implication of this limit is that to earn a 100,000- dollar bonus the minimum AOS required is 40 months. c. The maximum reenlistment lifetime bonus amount is 360,000 dollars. d. All ESRP payments must be received prior to completion of 28 years of service (YOS). The implication of this limit is that any ESRP installment that would be due after 28 YOS will be paid in the final installment prior to completion of 28 YOS. 2. Notable changes in reference (a) are as follows: a. Zone 2 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 14 years but less than completion of 17 years. b. Zone 3 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 17 years but less than completion of 23 years. c. Provides guidance for ESRP requests to be submitted through the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). d. Updates compensation for any term of reenlistment is limited to 30,000 per year of AOS (2,500/month of AOS). e. Updates a service member cannot exceed combined SRB and ESRP payments totaling 360,000 dollars in a career. f. Updates that anniversary payments may not be made after completion of 28 YOS. g. Provides clarity that each reenlistment must obligate service into the next zone. 3. ESRP Award Multiples. Award levels remain the same as previously released in reference (c) and are listed below: a. ESRP Zone 1 and Zone 2 award level (AOS computation stops at completion of 16 YOS for Zone 1 and 18 YOS for Zone 2): Rating PNEC Zone 1 Zone 2 ETNSS N13S 9.5 4.5 EMNSS N14S 8.0 4.5 MMNSS N15S 7.5 4.5 ELTSS N16S 7.5 4.5 ETNSW N23S 7.5 4.5 EMNSW N24S 8.0 4.5 MMNSW N25S 7.5 4.5 ELTSW N26S 6.0 4.5 b. ESRP Zone 3 award level (AOS computation stops at completion of 23 YOS): AOS AOS AOS Rating PNEC 1-24mos 25-36mos 37+mos ETNSS N13S 0.5 1.5 2.5 EMNSS N14S 0.5 1.5 2.5 MMNSS N15S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ELTSS N16S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ETNSW N23S 0.5 1.5 2.5 EMNSW N24S 0.5 1.5 2.5 MMNSW N25S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ELTSW N26S 0.5 1.5 2.5 4. Eligibility. Only Sailors assigned with an active supervisor Navy enlisted classification (NEC) listed in paragraph 3 are eligible to reenlist for ESRP. In addition, Service Members must hold a current security clearance or be in an open status for a new investigation. ESRP requests and anniversary payments for personnel with special category NECs (N59X/N89X) will be held in abeyance pending final resolution. Overall, ESRP eligibility requirements are defined in reference (a). To encourage career progression and provide incentive for continued superior at-sea service, the following supplementary eligibility requirements remain in place for each ESRP zone: a. ESRP Zone 1. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be assigned an active nuclear supervisor NEC (see paragraph 3). b. ESRP Zone 2. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be a frocked E-7 or in the paygrade of E-7, E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 2 reenlistment. c. ESRP Zone 3. In addition to the requirements of reference (a): (1) Be a frocked E-8 or in the paygrade of E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 3 reenlistment and (2) Have successfully previously served as, be currently serving as (on orders) or have been issued and accepted orders as a submarine engineering department master chief, nuclear aircraft carrier (CVN) major division leading chief petty officer, CVN reactor training division officer or CVN reactor department master chief. 5. Application Process. To ensure the approval message is released in a timely manner, ESRP reenlistment requests should be submitted 35 to 120 days in advance of the desired reenlistment date. Exceptions to this policy can be approved by the ESRP program manager on an individual basis. a. ESRP eligible service members must be recommended for reenlistment by their commanding officer. The command may use the checklist (enclosure (l) of reference (a)) to assist in submitting the ESRP request within the NSIPS. b. NSIPS is programmed to accept ESRP reenlistment requests and is the only method of submission. If the command is unable to submit ESRP reenlistment requests due to operational commitments, then the commands immediate superior in command may submit the request via NSIPS. Due to the transition from Officer Personnel Information System Force Management to NSIPS, the ESRP Program Manager can no longer submit a request for a Sailor or command. Entering an ESRP request in NSIPS is similar to that of submitting a SRB request. Other specifics for submitting ESRP requests in NSIPS are stated in reference (a). 6. Officer Programs. ESRP entitlement for Sailors who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. For limited duty officer, the application deadline is considered the suspense date as published in reference (f) and future announcement messages. For all other commissioning programs, the date on which Nuclear Community Manager (OPNAV N133) approves the conditional release to apply for that program is the date after which additional ESRP entitlements will be held. 7. Recoupment. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference (d), chapter 2 of reference (g) and reference (a), which collectively determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required or not required, but left to Secretarial discretion or is prohibited. Section 373 of reference (d), requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought. Examples of situations requiring repayment are provided in reference (a). 8. Service Record Entry. An Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) entry acknowledging recoupment policy via NSIPS is required in the record of the Service Member prior to execution of an ESRP reenlistment (examples are provided in enclosure (2) of reference (a)). 9. The point of contact is the ESRP Program Manager located at OPNAV N133 at (703) 604-5502/DSN 664 or via e-mail at nxag_n133d3(at)navy.mil or bullnuke(at)navy.mil. 10. Released by Vice Admiral John B.

The Navy has officially changed the status of 13 Sailors lost when the USS Indianapolis (CA 35) was sunk in 1945 from “Unaccounted for” to “Buried at Sea,” Navy Casualty announced May 27. The change in status is the result of extensive research between Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), Navy Casualty Office, the USS Indianapolis Survivors Association, the USS Indianapolis Legacy Organization, and the Chief Rick Stone and Family Charitable Foundation. The announcement helps bring closure to the families of these Sailors who lost their lives at the end of a secret mission which helped end World War II.
