Scammers targeting the military community have created a network of 50 websites that aim to steal personal information or that advertise care packages and phone cards to troops for exorbitant prices, a cybersecurity firm said in a new report. The scam has led more than 100 people to complain in an online forum about being duped, said Hank Schless, senior manager at the San Francisco-based Lookout, Inc. Some pages charged hundreds of dollars in offers for purported phone cards to help family members get in touch with deployed troops.

The “Other paths for advancement” column consolidates the Non-NWAE advancements and shows the numbers of Sailors advanced through other advancement programs like Advance to Position (A2P), Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP), Selective Training and Reenlistment (STAR), Advanced Technical Field (ATF), etc. These advancements may be paygrade and/or component (AC/RC) specific. The “Total Advancement Opportunity” percentage is calculated from the Advancement quotas and all other paths of advancement divided by the Lower Paygrade Inventory. As a reminder, PMK-EE is a requirement to take the advancement exam and we leave advancement opportunities in certain ratings empty every year because Sailors have not completed PMK-EE and cannot become test takers.

As many as 19,000 active-duty Marines and Navy sailors chose not to get vaccinated against the coronavirus by their shared Nov. 28 deadline, a dilemma for military leaders who have threatened to expel personnel refusing to comply with the Biden administration’s mandate. In both services, the number of holdouts is around 9,500, according to official counts. And while the Marines’ margin of 5 percent unvaccinated had been anticipated, it was an unexpected outcome for the Navy, which in announcing its final tally this week acknowledged that officials had uncovered last-minute “discrepancies” with its data-tracking system that revealed a larger pool of unvaccinated sailors than had been projected. As recently as last week, official data showed that 99.8 percent of sailors had at least one shot by last Sunday’s deadline. The true number is just over 97 percent.

BREMERTON, Wash. - When U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Tessa Hazard chose to become a respiratory therapist, part of the specialty allure was a limited chance of deployment. Yet, the ongoing pandemic has called upon Navy Medicine respiratory therapists like Hazard to be sent from sea to shore to help against the highly-infectious disease.

WASHINGTON — About 97.2% of active-duty sailors are at least partially vaccinated against the coronavirus, the Navy said Tuesday, two days after the service’s deadline for the entire force to get the shots. That percentage is lower than the Navy reported last week. On Nov. 24, the Navy said 99.8% of active-duty sailors had received at least one dose of the vaccine. A week prior, the service reported 99.7% of its active-duty force were partially vaccinated.

Interesting thank you.

A 47-year-old Navy reservist is the latest member of the U.S. armed forces to die from complications of COVID-19, the coronavirus respiratory disease. Petty Officer 1st Class William E. Matthews, an electronics technician from Lewisville, Texas, died Nov. 24, according to a Navy Reserve Force news release issued Monday.

The Defense Department is launching a new body to coordinate investigation of UFO sightings in restricted airspace, amid concerns that the flying objects could threaten flight safety and national security. In a memo released Tuesday, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks announced the creation of a group to lead government efforts to “detect, identify and attribute objects of interests,” which are formally known as unidentified aerial phenomena but commonly called UFOs. The body, known as the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, will be a successor to the Navy’s UAP task force and its work will be overseen by senior military and intelligence community officials.

POC/OPNAV/CAPT STEVEN TARR III, (703) 614-9250//EMAIL: STEVEN.TARR1.MIL(AT)US.NAVY.MIL RMKS/ 1. Purpose. This NAVADMIN implements the reference (a) requirement to conduct screening testing of service members who have not been vaccinated against the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). 2. Applicability 2.a. This guidance applies to Active and Reserve Component service members who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in accordance with references (a), (b), and (c), including those who have an exemption request under review or who are exempted from COVID-19 vaccination and are entering a Department of Defense (DoD) facility. 2.b. Guidance for testing unvaccinated government civilians and contractors will be released separately. Until this guidance is issued, current guidance per reference (a) applies and Commanding Officers and Officers in Charge continue to be authorized broad discretion in applying additional measures as they deem necessary, including applicable elements of this NAVADMIN. 3. Policy Guidance 3.a. Weekly testing. Reference (a) mandates that unvaccinated service members will be subject to screening testing for COVID-19 at least weekly when entering a DoD facility that includes the service members normal place of work. This testing will commence for Navy service members when the following two conditions have been met: (1) no earlier than the active-duty vaccination deadline of 28 November 2021 or the reserve deadline of 28 December 2021, as applicable to the individuals component; and, (2) the command has the required supplies to administer testing per this NAVADMIN. For purposes of this NAVADMIN, facility is a Navy-administered building, vessel, or other enclosed indoor area where official business is conducted. For vessels, this guidance applies whether the vessel is underway or in port. Additionally, the term work space includes all areas where official business takes place, to exclude entry areas such as the Quarterdeck where testing/screening may be conducted if necessary to avoid inclement weather, security concerns, or other reasons that such screening cannot be performed outdoors. 3.b. Exception for service members working remotely. Unvaccinated service members who work remotely full time, or who perform duties in facilities or work spaces periodically (less-than-weekly basis), are not subject to weekly testing. However, prior to entering a Navy facility or work space, these service members must provide a negative result from a test performed within the preceding 72 hours per paragraph 4. 3.c. The testing requirements in paragraphs 3.a. and 3.b. apply to each facility or work space entered. Meeting the requirements to enter one facility or work space does not guarantee entry into any other facility or work space without specific coordination and approval. See paragraph 4.e. below. For example, if an unvaccinated service member assigned to command 1, who meets command 1 weekly testing requirements, must attend a meeting at command 2, that service member must also meet command 2 testing/entry requirements on the day of entry, unless prior approval has been obtained from command 2. 4. COVID-19 testing requirements and reporting for unvaccinated service members. 4.a. Commanding Officers and Officers in Charge will execute the screening testing requirement with COVID-19 self-collection kits or self-tests per paragraph 3 above for all unvaccinated service members within their chain of command, and any unvaccinated visiting service members entering their work spaces. 4.b. Screening self-collection kits or self-tests do not require medical support to complete or to document test results. Organizations and service members must follow Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and manufacturer guidelines for these tests. 4.c. When required, the screening test shall be administered and results received before the service member proceeds to the facility work area. 4.d. Organizations should provide for on-site testing to the maximum extent possible. See paragraph 6 for test ordering and budget guidance. However, if on-site testing is not feasible, service members may perform self-testing or provide the results from a public, community, or commercial testing center. If the service member incurs costs, commands shall refer to reference (d) for procedures to reimburse the service member. Tests conducted in conjunction with diagnostic, travel, or other requirements meet the intent of this NAVADMIN. All testing must meet the following requirements: 4.d.(1) The test kit must be authorized or approved by the FDA. This includes test kits listed as authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). 4.d.(2) If not covered by the requirements of weekly testing in paragraph 3.a., the test must have been performed within the preceding 72 hours. 4.d.(3) The service member must retain documentation of the results of the test and present it upon request of supervisors and facility entry control personnel. Required information includes the service members name, the date and time the test was conducted, the commercial trade name (brand name) of the test, and the result (i.e., positive or negative). This documentation may be electronic, printed, or a facsimile. Examples of acceptable electronic documentation include text message, email, digital photo, online health record, or a screenshot of any of the above. Reasonable verification is all that is required, e.g. a screenshot of a self-test on a members phone constitutes identification of the member and the date of the test. 4.e. Visits between organizations by unvaccinated service members should be minimized. If these visits are necessary per their normal duties, testing per this NAVADMIN may be coordinated across organizations and documented by the service members parent command. 4.f. Exemption for previous COVID-19 infection. Per reference (e) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, unvaccinated service members who have recovered from a recent COVID-19 infection and who remain asymptomatic are exempted from regular screening testing for 90 days following their documented date of recovery from COVID-19 infection. Service members must provide documentation from a medical provider that includes the date they may return to work (no longer transmissible) and the date after which screening testing should resume post COVID-19 infection (90 days post COVID-19 infection). 4.g. Positive screening tests. Service members with a positive result following COVID-19 screening tests shall immediately report to medical for a confirmatory laboratory-based molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test from the nearest servicing Military Treatment Facility (MTF). 4.g.(1) If obtaining a confirmatory PCR test at an MTF is not feasible, such diagnostic confirmatory PCR tests may be obtained from a civilian community testing location at no cost to the service member (per paragraph 4.d above). 4.g.(2) Service members must provide results of confirmatory PCR testing to their chain of command. 4.h. Positive Confirmatory PCR Test. Service members receiving a positive confirmatory PCR test will be treated as a positive COVID-19 case and handled in accordance with references (e) and (f). Service members awaiting test results shall not be granted access to the facility work spaces until either a negative result has been received or the service member has satisfied return to work criteria in accordance with reference (e). Positive confirmatory PCR test results will be reported and managed in accordance with reference (f) and any other applicable national, state, local, or agency reporting requirements. 4.i. Negative Screening or Confirmatory PCR Tests. Service members with no COVID-19 symptoms who receive a negative screening or confirmatory test may enter the facility work spaces. At the discretion of the Commanding Officer, that service member may be credited with meeting the weekly testing requirement. 5. Responsibilities. Commanders, Commanding Officers, and Officers in Charge will: 5.a. Identify assigned service members (both Active and Reserve Component) who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 using the Medical Readiness Reporting System (MRRS), or as determined by the members medical provider if not yet included in MRRS, as detailed in reference (b). 5.b. Ensure all service members entering the work spaces of their facility meet one of these three requirements: (1) are fully vaccinated against COVID- 19 in accordance with reference (b), or (2) have received, and can provide documentation of, a negative COVID-19 test (rapid test or PCR) administered weekly or within the preceding 72 hours per paragraph 3 above, or (3) receive a negative COVID-19 test provided on-site. 5.c. Deny entry to any service member who does not meet the requirements of paragraph 5.b. above. 6. COVID-19 Test Ordering 6.a. Budget Submitting Offices (BSO) are responsible for funding test kits using existing command funding; BSOs may utilize any appropriation available for this purpose. BSOs and commands shall purchase and maintain on-site testing resources sufficient to meet requirements of this NAVADMIN, including normal traffic of known unvaccinated service members and any foreseeable surge testing requirements (such as command-sponsored events or meetings held on-site). 6.b. Commands should follow Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) ordering procedures contained in references (g) and (h), or their current versions. 6.c. If advantageous to the government and with BSO approval, commands may procure tests from non-DLA sources or contract testing services to complete these requirements. 6.d. If sufficient facility or command testing resources are not available to meet these requirements, service members may be reimbursed for procuring test kits that meet paragraph 4.d. restrictions above. BSOs and commands will follow guidance in accordance with reference (d). BSOs shall promulgate information to commands under their purview regarding specific reimbursement processes. 7. COVID-19 Test Recording 7.a. All medical and other information collected from service members will be maintained in a manner meeting the privacy requirements in attachment (9) of reference (a). Commands are encouraged to review this guidance, which includes information regarding who can collect this information; how to safeguard, transmit, and maintain this information; and which information must be protected per reference (i). 7.b. Commands shall log all tests conducted on-site, and all instances of service members providing valid proof of negative tests, in a visitor log maintained at the facility or work spaces point of entry (i.e., quarterdeck). Note whether the test was conducted on-site. Do not log test results (positive/negative) in this logbook. 7.c. Only tests conducted at an MTF should be recorded in the service members Electronic Health Record. 8. Released by VADM W. R.

To meet this challenge Navy Personnel Command (NPC) has established the Talent Management Task Force (TMTF) to launch a series of Performance Evaluation Transformation and Talent Management (PET-TM) programs and initiatives. The TMTF is divided into four talent management lines of operation: Talent Development and Retention, Performance Management, Succession Planning and Career Development and Management. The TMTF end state is to ensure effective Sailor development that retains the best and fully qualified Sailors, in the right assignments, to maximize the warfighting effectiveness of the Navy. 3. TMTF is working on five key PET-TM programs and initiatives briefly described below, which will be implemented in the coming months and years. a. eNavFit. As a replacement to NAVFIT98A, this online and offline web- enabled performance appraisal interface will be available for both connected and disconnected operations. Access will be through BUPERS Online (BOL) and NPC document services to support online evaluation and fitness report drafting, routing, review and submission. eNavFit will further serve as a bridge toward the larger long-term goal of a fully transformed performance evaluation system concurrent with the fielding of Navy Personnel and Pay System (NP2) full operational capability. Leveraging TMTF collaboration with Fleet and TYCOMs, follow-on studies are in progress at Naval Postgraduate School to ensure future changes to the performance evaluation system are directly related to job performance. Additionally, TMTF will study various attributes of an evaluation to include duration of reports, numerical grades, promotion recommendations and distinct rankings/breakouts. b. Update to BUPERSINST 1610.10F, Navy Performance Evaluation System. An update to BUPERSINST 1610.10F incorporates the inclusion of eNavFit, rescinds administrative change requests to be submitted within two years of the performance evaluation end date, introduces the use of coaching skills to performance counseling conversations and mandates the completion of mid-term performance counseling. c. Mid-term performance counseling. The initiative clarifies the requirement to conduct timely mid-term performance counseling, provides training, encourages the use of coaching behaviors and introduces the Military Individual Development Plan (NAVPERS 1610/19) and Mid-term Performance Counseling Checklist (NAVPERS 1610/20). d. MyNavy Coaching. MyNavy Coaching is an initiative to build and sustain a coaching culture within the Navy. MyNavy Coaching is focused on active listening, empathy and asking powerful questions for Sailors to engage in peer-to-peer coaching conversations. e. Navy Command Leadership Assessment and Selection Program (NCLASP). NCLASP is an effort to create a more effective process to select future Navy leaders by including psychological assessments, cognitive aptitude tests, communication skills, and personality attributes known to be associated with effective leadership into the leadership selection process. To date, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Naval Special Warfare and Naval Submarine Force communities have participated in NCLASP pilots to select future leaders. Lessons learned from these pilots will pave the way for a comprehensive roll out across other communities with a program tailored to the unique needs of each TYCOM while maintaining the gold standards of personnel selection science. 4. eNavFit will be the first PET-TM initiative to be released. eNavFit consolidates the functionality of NAVFIT98A into a web-enabled performance evaluation. Sailors will be able to draft, electronically submit and sign performance evaluations for submission to the Sailors official military personnel file in a matter of days. The functionality of eNavFit will improve report accuracy, timeliness and quality as well as reduce evaluation processing, submission errors and routing delays. NPC will deploy eNavFit to the Reserve Component in December 2021 and deploy to the Active Component in early 2022. BUPERSINST 1610.10F will be released soon and will include policy for eNavFit. 5. eNavFit has been designed for the following operational conditions. a. Connected operations. For Sailors in a standard office environment with regular internet connectivity. b. Connected and disconnected operations. For Sailors or commands that are underway or have limited internet connectivity. Sailors will be able to work offline and periodically upload and submit completed reports via BOL when connectivity is available. c. Disconnected operations. For commands entirely offline with legacy ability to print, wet sign and mail completed reports to NPC. 6. Performance evaluation training materials, an eNavFit user guide and quick reference cards can be found via the NPC website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Performance-Evaluation/ 7. For questions concerning any of these PET-TM programs and initiatives, contact the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) at (833) 833- MNCC or via e-mail at askmncc(at)navy.mil. 8. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 9. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

By Commander Navy Reserve Public Affairs Washington – Bravo Zulu Chiefs! Congratulations on this well-earned, life-changing, momentous milestone in your Navy career. Becoming a member of the mess is an epic accomplishment, and one for which you and your families should be justifiably proud. You are joining an elite team. Navy Chiefs represent a long line of committed leaders – leaders who were ready when they were needed, and who responded to the nation’s call during periods of conflict and peace. MCPON Delbert Black, Chief Edwin Hill, Chief Donald McFaul, Chief James Williams – they are only a few inspirational chiefs who wore the same anchors you’ve donned, and are immortalized in U.S Navy warships that bear their names. We honor their sacrifices and legacies every day. Legacies you now symbolize. In addition to earning your anchors, each of you were selected for important reasons, through one of the most competitive screening processes in any service. More than you likely realize, you will now directly contribute to the totality of the Navy Reserve’s readiness to compete and win in conflict. You will be a critical enabler of our ability to fight tonight if that is what the nation asks of us. As a chief, you are no longer evaluated solely on your individual performance…now you are responsible, and accountable, for the performance of the team you lead, and those you mentor and cultivate. You are expected to look out for others, as they…your sailors, other members of the mess, and the wardroom…look out for you. I expect each of you strive to be an ideal chief petty officer. And to embody the characteristics of the giants who served before you. Those who have proudly served our Navy for nearly two and a half centuries, winning wars and deterring adversaries in the age of sail, the age of steam, and every maritime period culminating with today’s Navy. For the United States to continue leading as the world’s premier power, the Navy will factor heavily in our future, and we need motivated, well-honed, and well-trained commands to perform our global missions. And I know from experience that without an effective chief’s mess, a command cannot succeed - and yet with an effective chief’s mess, a command cannot fail. Across the Navy, every day since the 1893 establishment of the rank of chief petty officer, the phrase “Ask the chief” has preceded any significant task. Why? Because for 128 years, any aspiring chief, before donning anchors, was required to prove their worth. In demonstrating their competence and potential, they proved that they were worthy of the mess. They proved their strong leadership, work ethic, and competence. The chief’s mess only accepts the best, and we are expecting the best from you. You will not be alone as you accept more leadership and the associated responsibility that accompanies it. The leaders that trained and mentored you during your career will remain invested in your success. The families and employers that gave you the strength, motivation, flexibility, and resiliency to reach this leadership level as you matured in your Navy journey will remain equally engaged. Stay in touch with all of them – mentoring is a two-way street. I expect you to make big decisions every day, with one goal in mind – warfighting readiness. We must be ready on day one. To be clear, I need you to deliver fresh perspectives on the policies and procedures guiding your command, every day. Compliance, which I consider the minimum target threshold, is far from excellence – your target is, and always will be, excellence. And it's incumbent that the khaki team within your organization is united and leads actively from the front. To build and reinforce a culture of excellence, you must enforce standards relentlessly and consistently. There is no room for mediocrity or sub-standard performance in your operations. But it goes deeper than that. The way we interact with one another directly impacts the environment of the command, which in turn, impacts the success or failure of every mission. So I’m counting on you to eliminate discrimination, extremism and inequity from our service should you encounter it. Work with your mess to find new ways to combat destructive behaviors. Those thoughts and actions have no place in our Navy, or our Navy family. Your sailors depend on you. Your leaders depend on you. We depend on you to achieve mission success. As a Reserve Force, we have done, and continue to do, much to be proud of. But we have much more to do. We’re going to ask you to make hard decisions. To think and lead. To assist those young sailors, junior officers and leaders around you and create a unified, trained team. One team, one fight. Chiefs, once again, congratulations. Welcome to the mess and to our khaki team. Celebrate with your shipmates, families, and friends…and remember, we have high expectations for you. Thank you for what you have done and will do in support of our Sailors and the Force. Now let’s get busy out there. Respectfully, Vice Adm. John B. Mustin Force Master Chief Petty Officer Chief of Navy Reserve and Tracy L. Hunt (SW/EXW/AW) Commander, Navy Reserve Force Navy Reserve Force

From Mass Communication Specialist Chief Justin Stumberg NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY NAPLES, Italy - Seven first class petty officers from U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa (NAVEUR-NAVAF) and U.S. Sixth Fleet were pinned their gold-fouled anchors during a chief petty officer pinning ceremony at the Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples Chapel, Nov. 19, 2021. The chief petty officer grade (E-7), unique to the Navy, was issued through executive order by President Benjamin Harris on April 1, 1893. This order formalized a tradition whereby the senior, most experienced, rated sailor was known as the "chief,” designated by the commanding officer as the one in charge of his peers. U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Fleet Master Chief Derrick Walters served as one of the pinning ceremony’s guest speakers. Along with taking the opportunity to thank all those who helped make this year’s challenging initiation possible, he also reinforced key leadership points to the participants as they embark on their new journey as newly accepted chief petty officers. “Serve with honor and integrity on and off the battlefield,” said Walters. “Your actions hold an even higher level of consequence, not only for yourself, but also for the Navy and Chiefs Mess as a whole. When you don the anchors, you will have more freedom to maneuver but less room for error.” Walters stressed the importance of continuing the leadership excellence these new chiefs have displayed so far in their military career. “Remember, there will be times to lead, whether that is officers, fellow chiefs, or junior Sailors,” said Walters. “Equally as important, Chiefs must be willing to follow those same groups. Above all, never quit and always push yourself and your teammates to win.” Capt. James Adkisson, Director of Integrated Fires, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa and U.S. Sixth Fleet, congratulated the new chiefs and reminded them of the impact of being accepted. Adkisson enlisted in the Navy in 1983, ultimately reaching the rank of chief petty officer before receiving his commission in 1996 as a cryptologic warfare officer. “Congratulations on this, your day of days, when you can proudly respond to the title chief,” said Adkisson. “As you will surely hear through the words of the creed, you have earned it, but the entitlement belongs to the many who have helped you achieve this honored, this lifelong acceptance to the ‘Mess’.” During his speech, Adkisson used a small mason jar with a chief’s anchor inside that was full of salt water from a recent underway into the Black Sea to emphasize the connection Sailors have with naval tradition. He also recited an original poem his created specifically for the occasion. “I have taken a minor step – a charge if you will – to help you remember your climb up the hill,” said Adkisson “I have bathed your port side anchor in the depths of the Black Sea. It is my intention this gift rings you on the rise of adversity." For the new chiefs, the ceremony marked the completion of a six-week induction process, often referred to as the “Season of Pride.” This induction culminated with CPO 365 Phase II training, which introduced new challenges designed to strengthen and enhance “deckplate” leadership. One of this year’s newly pinned Chiefs, Yeoman Chief Luis Verdin, said the initiation process was incredibly valuable and eye-opening. “Being inducted into the Mess is a feeling I can’t put into words,” said Verdin. “Even though I’ve worked incredibly hard in my career, it’s important to remember that I didn’t get here on my own and this ceremony isn’t about recognizing me or my individual accomplishments. It’s about honoring those who we’ve served with, made us better leaders, and helped us achieve things we didn’t think were possible.” U.S. Sixth Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allies, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.
