NAVAL STATION SAN DIEGO, Calif. – While firefighting crews and sailors massed at Naval Base San Diego’s Pier 2 to attack a fire spreading across former USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6), a small fire scorched a mattress on another amphibious assault warship berthed a mile away. That fire, on a rack in troop berthing aboard Wasp-class USS Essex (LHD-2), was extinguished by a petty officer, leaving the compartment on the ship’s 02 level in a smoky haze. The fire was minor in scale compared to the conflagration that consumed much of the 844-foot-long Bonhomme Richard and its 13 decks. But the mattress fire in COVID-restricted berthing aboard Essex revealed some parallels to the larger fire. A military judge on Wednesday ruled that those similarities are worthy of further examination by defense attorneys representing a junior sailor accused of setting a fire that led to the $3 billion loss of the 22-year-old Bonhomme Richard, which the Navy decommissioned in 2021 and sold for scrap.

WASHINGTON — The fatal collision of destroyer John S. McCain with the tanker Alnic MC on Aug. 21, 2017, stunned the U.S. Navy. It came just two months after another U.S. 7th Fleet destroyer, Fitzgerald, was involved in another deadly collision. With 17 sailors dead from two avoidable accidents, the Navy had much to study and to fix — and quickly.

Most Navy websites do not comply with regulations to promote the Veterans Crisis Line, an internal audit found, as officials take unprecedented steps to prevent suicide in the military. The Navy mandates that a suicide hotline for veterans be accessible from the homepage of every Navy website, but a previously unreported internal audit found that most of the pages reviewed were not in compliance.

Military retirees and veterans receiving disability pay from the Department of Veterans Affairs are likely to see record monthly check increases for the second year running thanks to the pace of inflation, according to new estimates. The annual VA disability pay and military retirement cost-of-living pay adjustment, known as COLA, is typically tied to the Social Security rate change, which will likely be announced in October. An early projection based on national inflation data by The Senior Citizens League (TSCL), a nonpartisan senior advocacy nonprofit, estimates rates will rise by 9.6%.

The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans — and their survivors — with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.

The Navy announced a hefty bonus program aimed at enticing its veterans — and veterans of other services — to reenlist. The Navy is offering a $50,000 signing bonus and up to $65,000 in student loan repayments for a “life-altering $115,000,” Rear Adm. Lex Walker, the head of Navy Recruiting Command, said in a news release Aug. 6.

Officers who have already received fully-funded graduate education are not eligible to participate. Graduate degrees obtained through Post 9-11 G.I. Bill, tuition assistance or the Navy College Program for Afloat College Education are not disqualifiers. Selectees will be assigned a unique additional qualification designation for tracking and career management purposes. 3. Application and Selection Process a. Community sponsors will develop and implement selection criteria and policies to identify their most talented and proven performers for FSEP participation. Community sponsors will make their nominees for selection no later than 30 September and submit to the Director for Warfighter Development (OPNAV N71) via the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Civilian Institutions (CIVINS) program office for final selection approval and selection notification. Selection notification will be released by 31 October 2022 in order for Navy Personnel Command, Graduate Education and Training Placement (PERS-440) to meet the AY23-24 fall/winter semester/quarter start dates. Each community sponsor may select up to their annual allocated graduate education opportunities, as per reference (a), shown below: Community Designator Opportunities SURFOR 1110(8) SUBFOR 1120(5) NSWC 1130(3) NECC 1140(3) AIRFOR 1310, 1320(6) IWC 1810(1) 1820(1) 1830(1) b. Upon notification of selection to FSEP, selectees should apply to at least three accredited graduate education institutions of their choice. Participants may be reimbursed for up to three application and transcript fees after beginning their first semester/quarter. Participants shall consult the list of schools that have existing Education Service Agreements (ESA) with the Navy on the NPS CIVINS website FSEP page at https://nps.edu/web/civins/fsep. In cases where the school of choice is not on the ESA listing, the selectee shall notify the NPS CIVINS office no less than 7 months prior to program start to allow sufficient time to pursue additional ESAs. Participants are responsible for researching and completing prerequisites including graduate record examinations where applicable.

On August 3, the US Navy's "digital quarterback," the Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, celebrated the 15th anniversary of its first flight. The E-2D is the newest variant of the E-2 airborne early warning and control aircraft. In service since 1964, it is a considerable improvement over its predecessors.

It's steady as she goes for the construction of the new Ford-class nuclear carrier CVN-80 USS Enterprise.

Fabrication is going on now at Newport News.

NORFOLK (WAVY) – Residents in three Northside neighborhoods learned this week that the Navy wants to remove about 400 trees that present “an immediate safety risk for aircraft” using Chambers Field on Naval Station Norfolk. The work would begin this fall and run for about a year, according to a letter that went out from base commanding officer Capt. David Dees. Officials invited residents to a public meeting on August 22 at Northside Middle School from 4 to 7 p.m.

Future sailors and veterans who agree to re-up can combine the maximum enlistment bonus with a maximum student loan repayment — to cap out at $115,000 — provided they enlist or reassess into active duty and can ship out before the end of September. The Navy, which raised the maximum enlistment bonus to $50,000 in February, said the incentives aim to attract the “highest quality of recruits,” and come as all the services struggle to hit recruitment quotas this fiscal year.

The Navy plans to put $14.9 million toward helping the Pearl Harbor Aquifer, the most recent effort in the sea service’s steps to regain the trust of the Hawaiian people after a leak at the Red Hill Fuel Facility polluted drinking water. The service will put the $14.9 million toward the Department of Defense Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program Challenge funding, as per an agreement between the Navy and Hawaii, according to a Thursday Navy news release.

The SRB award level increases and the award levels for newly added skillsets are effective immediately. SRB requests are required to be submitted 35-120 days in advance. Sailors who just gained eligibility for an SRB with the addition of a newly offered SRB skillsets will have that requirement waived if they are within about 6 weeks of their EAOS, crossing out of zone, or executing a PCS transfer. We will not require a formal 35 Day Waiver in those cases.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed into law a bill expanding health care benefits to millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits during their military service. The bill is a major bipartisan victory for Congress and addresses an issue that is personal to the President. Biden has said he believes there may have been a connection between the brain cancer that killed his 46-year-old son, Beau Biden, and the burn pits Beau was exposed to during his military service.

Hawaii health officials say the log sheds light on the events that led up to the May 6 spill — information that is pertinent to ensuring that the Red Hill facility is safely drained and shut down as ordered by the Pentagon.

"The PACT Act is a historic new law that will help VA deliver for millions of Veterans — and their survivors — by empowering us to presumptively provide care and benefits to Vets suffering from more than 20 toxic exposure-related conditions. It will also bring generations of Veterans into VA health care, which will improve Veteran health outcomes across the board. We at VA are ready to implement the PACT Act and deliver for toxic-exposed Veterans and their survivors. If you think you might be eligible for PACT Act benefits, here’s what you need to know: You can apply for PACT Act-related benefits now by filing a claim at VA. As President Biden announced at the bill signing, we are making all 23 presumptive conditions in the PACT Act eligible for benefits effective today, August 10. You can learn more about the PACT Act by visiting VA.gov/PACT or calling 1-800-MyVA411. Thank you to all of the Veterans, survivors and family members who fought tirelessly to make this day possible, and thank you to President Biden for keeping our nation’s promise to those who served. We at VA will stop at nothing to make sure that every Veteran and every survivor gets the PACT Act-related care and benefits they deserve." - VA Secretary Denis R. McDonough
