Sailors recently selected for advancement to E-4 through E-6 will remain in a frocked status until their pay incrementation date. All advancements from the spring cycle occur July through December. No less than three percent of Sailors will be advanced each month, with the majority of advancements occurring in the final pay increment. Roughly 85% of the Sailors selected for advancement in July will be advanced on December 16th. Pay increments are determined by each Sailor's Final Multiple Score standing in their rating and across the entire paygrade, NOT their percentile. An updated profile sheet will be generated when a Sailor's increment is determined.

This is a reminder that Bibs for the E7 Active Duty January exam should be posted in July Bibliography for Advancement in Rate

WASHINGTON - For the first time, a female sailor has successfully completed the grueling 37-week training course to become a Naval Special Warfare combatant-craft crewman — the boat operators who transport Navy SEALs and conduct their own classified missions at sea. Navy officials said they would not identify the woman or provide more details on her — a routine military policy for special operations forces. She was one of 17 sailors to graduate and receive their pins on Thursday. She is also the first of 18 women who have tried out for a job as a SWCC or a SEAL to succeed.

Oh yeah that's right: d. 12 July 2021: RC E-7 selection board convenes. All eligibility requirements, to include any waivers, must have final approval and be posted to the records of the candidates prior to this date.

WASHINGTON — A new court decision, if it holds, would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide billions of dollars in education benefits to more than 1 million post-9/11 veterans. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided Thursday that veterans who qualify for both the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill for multiple periods of military service should be allowed to draw benefits from each. Since the newer Post-9/11 GI Bill became effective in 2009, the VA has limited veterans to benefits from one program, not both.

Thank you for posting this @masq0591. I was having issues with the server and did not see this post until much later even though you posted this hours before I got hold of the results. Thanks again.

It’s an open secret: The Navy thrives not just on the labor of sailors, but also on the unpaid labor of military families. This has become more glaringly obvious to me as my spouse has risen now to the rank of commander, and there has been an increasing expectation that I will devote my my time in support of his career, most notably with my invitation to attend a week-long course on how to be the spouse of a commanding officer.

Update that a member shared: (thank you.) ***** Leadership Mess, We are close to finalizing this year’s CPO Initiation letter from MCPON and the Fleets, but I wanted to pass a few bits of information to help you and your CMCs in the in planning process. -This year we expect the Active E-7 Board results to be released on 04 October 2021. CPO Initiation will commence once these results are released, and culminate with Final Night on 18 November, and Pinning Ceremonies on 19 November (with the typical operational wavier allowed for those two days). *****

REF B IS DOD INSTRUCTION 1340.26 CHANGE 1, ASSIGNMENT AND SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENT PAY.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the annual special duty assignment pay (SDAP) recertification process for fiscal year (FY) 2021. In line with references (a) and (b), commanding officers (CO) are required to annually review and certify the entitlement to SDAP for each Sailor. This recertification is vital in verifying that every Sailor who is assigned to an eligible billet remains qualified to fill that billet and is receiving the correct level of SDAP. 2. Certification shall commence upon the release of this NAVADMIN and continue through 31 August 2021. Enlisted Incentive Program Department (BUPERS-328) will stop SDAP for all SDAP recipients at all commands failing to complete the recertification process on time. Commands should prioritize timely completion of this process to preclude pay disruptions for eligible Sailors. SDAP recertification reports received at BUPERS-328 will not be forwarded to the servicing personnel support detachment (PSD). Any action required to start, stop or change the level of SDAP of a Sailor must be submitted to PSD via the command pay and personnel administrator (CPPA) using the transaction online processing system (TOPS). 3. To verify if a Sailor is eligible and receiving the correct level of SDAP, a complete list of authorized skills and pay amounts can be found by visiting the MyNavy Portal (MNP) website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted-Career-Admin/SRB-SDAP-Enl-Bonus/, then scroll to and click on *SDAP Levels with Admin Updates.* 4. Follow these procedures to certify the SDAP report of your Command. a. Obtain and print the annual SDAP report of your command. The annual SDAP report only pulls those Sailors that are currently drawing SDAP. The report will not highlight potentially eligible Sailors who are not currently receiving SDAP. (1) The command annual SDAP report may be obtained by sending a digitally signed e-mail to the SDAP recertification report help desk at mill_sdap_recert.fct(at)navy.mil. You may also contact BUPERS-328 at (901)874-3260/DSN 882 for additional assistance with this process. (2) Annual SDAP report requesters are to include their primary unit identification code (UIC) in the subject line and any required subordinate UICs in the e-mail body. (3) Reports will only be provided to command career management system-interactive detailing (CMS-ID) users with the activity manning manager (AMM) role. Requester must have CMS-ID AMM access for all subordinate UICs requested. Commands with no AMM will need to submit a CMS-ID AMM access request which can be found by visiting the MNP website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Career/Detailing/MyNavyAssignment/My Navy_Assignment_Access.pdf (4) The SDAP report will be returned as an attachment either in an encrypted e-mail or via the Department of Defense Secure Access File Exchange at https://safe.apps.mil/. b. Verify your command as a whole and make changes as follows: (1) Add all Sailors who are eligible for SDAP, but not listed in the annual SDAP report. To add, simply handwrite or type the name, rate, effective date and level on the bottom of the annual SDAP report. If there is not enough space, attach a list on command letterhead. (2) Draw a line through any Sailor who is no longer eligible and provide a brief description (transfer/separation/loss of Navy enlisted classifications). (3) Verify levels are in line with the most recent SDAP eligibility chart by visiting the MNP website at https://mynavyhr.navy.afpims.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted-Career-Admin/SRB-SDAP-Enl-Bonus, then scroll to and click on *SDAP Levels with Admin Updates.* (4) The original signature of the CO must be on each page of the annual SDAP report accompanied by the following statement, *After review, I certify that all required additions and changes have been annotated, actions required to start, stop, increase or decrease has been processed via PSD prior to submission of recertification and all Sailors at this command are receiving the correct SDAP entitlement.* This statement can be handwritten, typed or affixed by a label. A cover letter is not required, however it may be included if additional space is required to add SDAP eligible Sailors or if an explanation of changes is warranted. (5) Provide a point of contact in the top right-hand corner of the first page of the annual SDAP report. (6) Send the SDAP report via encrypted e-mail to mill_incen_pays.fct(at)navy.mil. The e-mail subject line must contain UIC and point of contact with rate, name, phone number and e-mail. You may also contact BUPERS-328 at (901)874-3260/DSN 882 for additional assistance with this process. (7) If you are having trouble sending encrypted e-mail, ensure that your encryption e-mail certificate is posted to the global address list. If you are still having encryption issues, contact BUPERS-328 at (901) 874- 3260/DSN 882. (8) E-mail is the preferred method, but if you need to send the report via regular mail, please send to Navy Personnel Command Enlisted Incentive Program Department (BUPERS-328) 5720 Integrity Drive Millington TN 38055-0130 5. Should a service record or payment update becomes necessary, each command is responsible for completing this action though their local servicing PSD. All corrective transactions older than 240 days will be processed by BUPERS-328 via an emailed request submitted to mill_incen_pays.fct(at)navy.mil. 6. Commands can check the status of their SDAP recertification at https://mynavyhr.navy.afpims.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted-Career-Admin/SRB-SDAP-Enl-Bonus, then scroll to the SDAP section and click on *SDAP Delinquent List.* Immediate superior in commands (ISIC) are strongly encouraged to use this site to ensure all subordinate commands have completed the recertification. Please allow 5 to 10 days after submission for the webpage to be updated. 7. For commands who had SDAP payments stopped as a result of failing to complete the required process in time, SDAP can only be restored by BUPERS- 328. SDAP can be restored for delinquent commands upon completion of the directed recertification process with the added requirement of an ISIC endorsement. This endorsement cannot be signed by direction nor by an acting ISIC. A list of delinquent commands will be forwarded to the Chief of Naval Personnel and the N1 staffs at U.S. Fleet Forces and U.S. Pacific Fleet via the Military Pay and Compensation Branch (OPNAV N130). Once the recertification and ISIC endorsement are received by BUPERS-328, suspended SDAP payments will resume, to include back pay for any missed payments. 8. It is recognized that the recertification process is burdensome for Sailors and commands. OPNAV N130 is working with Navy Pay and Personnel (NP2) programmers to embed recertification functions within the next generation of pay systems to improve process efficiency. Until these systems are deployed, the current process must be followed with care to ensure continued payment of entitlements to all eligible Sailors. 9. Point of contact. BUPERS-328, mill_incen_pays.fct(at)navy.mil, (901) 874-3260/DSN 882. 10. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or 1 October 2021, whichever occurs first. 11.

In the roughly six months since the military first began offering COVID-19 vaccines to its frontline personnel, the Navy has outpaced the other services with its vaccination rate, which stands at 77 percent for active-duty sailors, the head of the Defense Health Agency told reporters on Wednesday.

A new era in Naval Aviation launches on Aug. 2 when a board will meet to select the initial cadre of Aviation Warrant Officers who will be trained to fly the new MQ-25 carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle. A new era in Naval Aviation launches on Aug. 2 when a board will meet to select the initial cadre of Aviation Warrant Officers who will be trained to fly the new MQ-25 carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle. The call for applications, announced in NAVADMIN 141/21 and released on June 28, says that qualified Sailors and civilians can apply for the program through Navy Recruiting Command. Applications to be considered by the board are due on July 26. Last December, the program’s approval came when the Navy formally established the Aerial Vehicle Operator (AVO) warrant officer specialty in NAVADMIN 315/20. Over the next six to 10 years, the Navy plans to recruit, train and send to the fleet a community of roughly 450 aviation warrants. The community is expected to eventually have warrant officers in grades spanning W-1 through W-5. Those selected for the program will first complete Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. Upon graduation, they will commission as Warrant Officer One (W-1). They must then complete basic flight training as well as advanced training on the MQ-25 aerial vehicle. Once basic flight training has been completed, these officers will earn their own distinctive Navy "wings of gold" warfare devices and be assigned the 737X designator. The basic eligibility requirements are outlined in Navy Program Authorization 106A, which applicants can download at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Career/OCM/PA-106A_CWO1-7371_AVO_Feb-2021.pdf. Both enlisted and civilian candidates can apply, though through separate channels. Active-duty and reserve Sailors must submit their package as outlined in the Enlisted to Officer Commissioning Programs Application Administrative Manual (OPNAVINST 1420.1B). Civilians and enlisted service members from other services should contact a local Navy officer recruiter and apply through Navy Recruiting Command. If an applicant needs a waiver for any of the requirements, it must be submitted in advance with enough lead time to allow approval by the application due date. This is just the first of what will be many selection boards for the program. In the future, these boards will not be announced by naval message, but instead simply added to the Navy Recruiting Command’s officer board schedule available on the MyNavy HR website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Career-Counseling/Commissioning-Programs/

The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) is seeking top performing, energetic male and female Sailors and Marines, active and reserve, who have demonstrated strong leadership, for admission to the Naval Academy Class of 2026. Among each USNA class is a corps of prior-enlisted Sailors and Marines who infuse peer-level fleet experience into the Brigade of Midshipmen. Twenty years from now, these young men and women, from all walks of American life, will lead our fleet. Commanding Officers (CO) are encouraged to identify motivated enlisted personnel who meet the criteria and may be good candidates for selection to USNA. 2. Successful candidates will be top-quality Sailors and Marines who fit the following profile: a. Academics. (1) Possess a strong high school grade point average indicating the potential to succeed at USNA. Fleet applicants ranked in the top 40 percent of their high school class are typically considered competitive. (2) Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores taken within the last two years. The SAT is a three-part test consisting of reading, math, and writing. Applicants should aim to score above 500 in reading (verbal) and above 550 in math, with a combined minimum of 1050. The writing component is not required for consideration for admission. For applicants who have taken the American College Test (ACT) within the last two years, scores of 22 in English and 24 in Math are recommended. Potential candidates with SAT or ACT scores that are older than two years or below these guidelines are strongly encouraged to retake the test. (3) Typically completed four years of mathematics, including a strong foundation in geometry, algebra, and trigonometry, four years of english, and one year of chemistry. Additionally, physics, calculus, history, and two years of a foreign language are strongly recommended. Continued education since high school is vital; candidates are encouraged to strengthen their admission application with college courses in higher level math and sciences. (4) If schedule permits, applicants are encouraged to complete college courses that display current academic ability. b. Top performers who have demonstrated or possess strong leadership (e.g., past and present Command Junior Sailors/Bluejackets of the Quarter/Year, top 20 percent performers in "A" and "C" schools, class leaders, Honor Guard members, and community volunteers). c. Good moral character and unquestionable loyalty to the United States, as determined by a command interview and military recommendations. d. No record of disciplinary action under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice, or conviction by civil court (except minor traffic violations) during the three years preceding application for admission. Waivers are on a case-by-case basis. e. We are seeking candidates with outstanding physical fitness. In addition to passing the Candidate Fitness Assessment in the USNA application, candidates need to have demonstrated the ability to pass the Naval Academy physical fitness requirements within the last year. The USNA Physical Readiness Test standards (Minimum Passing Scores) are: (1) Push-ups (Two Minutes): 45 (Male); 20 (Female) (2) Front Plank: 1:45; and (3) 1.5 Mile Run: 10:30 (Male); 12:40 (Female). f. Must not have passed their 23rd birthday on 1 July of the year of admission to USNA. g. Must not be married, pregnant, or have incurred obligations of parenthood. 3. Candidates with superior academic performance and strong military backgrounds may receive direct appointments to USNA. Top performers who need to strengthen their academic background may be selected to attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in Newport, RI for one year and receive an appointment to USNA the following year. 4. Personnel selected to attend USNA or NAPS must be medically qualified by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) in order to be commissioned as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps. Once candidates complete 50 percent of the application, their name will be sent to DoDMERB for the physical and eye exams. The candidate will be contacted by Concorde, the DoDMERB contractor, with information on where to receive the physical and eye exams. The Service Member will be contacted by the USNA Fleet Coordinator with information on how to get the physical and eye exam completed at their own Military Treatment Facility as an alternative. Reference (a) provides medical standards. 5. Up to 170 regular and reserve personnel may be appointed to USNA each year. The deadline to apply to the Class of 2026 is 31 December 2021. The deadline for all completed application documents is 31 January 2022. Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete their application as soon as possible. Packages completed before 31 January 2022 will be reviewed by the Admissions Board as soon as they are received. Packages will not be reviewed without the CO's endorsement. References (b) and (c) provide guidance. 6. An applicant becomes an official candidate by submitting a preliminary application on-line at https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/. A follow-on e-mail back to the fleet applicant will provide them with a candidate number and instructions for completing the full application. USNA operates on a rolling admissions process and fleet applicants are encouraged to complete their applications early to improve competitiveness. 7.
