This NAVADMIN cancels reference (a) and provides additional guidance regarding the type of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) authorized in FLANK SPEED Microsoft Office 365 (M365). Users must be vigilant as CUI is not allowed on non-government devices (i.e. personal desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and mobile phones). 2. Key definitions (from references (b) and (c)): a. CUI. UNCLASSIFIED information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls, but does not meet the requirements for classification per Executive Order 13526 or the Atomic Energy Act. b. Legacy for Official Use Only (FOUO). Prior to the CUI program, this was a dissemination control marking applied to unclassified information that disclosure to the public of that particular Record, or portion thereof, would reasonably be expected to cause a foreseeable harm to an interest protected by one or more Exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOUO information does not automatically become CUI and is not interchangeable with CUI. (1) Legacy FOUO material is not required to be re-marked or redacted while it remains under Department of Defense (DoD) control or is accessed online and downloaded for use within the DoD. (2) Legacy FOUO material or new derivative documents must be marked as CUI if the information qualifies as CUI, particularly if it is being shared with other government departments. c. DoD CUI Registry. Provides an official list of Categories used to identify the various types of CUI. Individuals must use the DoD CUI registry to ensure proper identification of all CUI material. The registry is located at: https://www.dodcui.mil/Home/DoD-CUI-Registry. d. Authorized Holders. Individuals that designate or handle CUI and are responsible for determining, at the time of creation, whether information in a document falls into a CUI category. If so, the authorized holder is responsible for applying CUI markings and dissemination instructions accordingly, in accordance with reference (b) and (c). e. Lawful Government Purpose. Any activity, mission, function, operation, or endeavor that the U.S. Government authorizes or recognizes as within the scope of its legal authorities or the legal authorities of non- executive branch entities (such as state and local law enforcement). f. Limited Dissemination Controls (LDC). Any control used to limit or specify CUI dissemination. (1) Only Authorized Holders can apply this additional marking and will only be used to promote a Lawful Government Purpose. (2) All LDCs must be approved by the CUI Executive Agent (EA) listed in the CUI Registry (for example, CUI marked FED ONLY further restricts sharing to Federal Employees; CUI marked NOCON prohibits sharing with Contractors). Lawful Government Purpose requires that Authorized Holders of CUI must not share CUI where sharing is prohibited, restricted, or further subject to LDCs. 3. General CUI Guidelines. a. The FLANK SPEED Authority to Operate permits processing and storage of CUI data types, as listed in reference (b), up to moderate impact Personally Identifiable Information (PII). All policies for handling permitted CUI data types still apply. (1) The following data types are not yet authorized on FLANK SPEED: (a) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act information, to include Protected Health Information (b) Navy Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI) (c) Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) data (2) Authorization for above listed data types is planned as part of future capability releases. Users will be notified when these data types are authorized. (3) Users are responsible for verifying with their Information System Security Manager (ISSM) and Command Security Manager (CSM) the permitted CUI data types authorized on the network(s) they are using. b. Organizations and all Navy military, civilian, and contractor personnel are responsible for following the guidelines outlined in references (b) and (c) for handling and protecting CUI. c. Per references (b) and (c), personnel will not use unofficial or personal (e.g., .net, .com, etc.) e-mail accounts, messaging systems, or other non-DoD information systems to conduct official business involving CUI. d. Approved/authorized government contractor systems are permitted to handle CUI. e. Access to CUI is based on whether the individual has a Lawful Government Purpose. While similar to Need to Know for classified information, Lawful Government Purpose has a different litmus test. See reference (b) for guidance on Lawful Government Purpose. 4. Training. All personnel (military, civilian, and contractor) who are authorized access to classified information systems must receive initial and annual refresher CUI education and training. The Center for Development of Security Excellence (CDSE), an element of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), has developed and released the only authorized and approved DoD CUI training module. The training module is accessed at https://www.dodcui.mil/Home/Training/. When accessing the website, click on the CDSE Current CUI link to access the training and resource materials. 5.

Where conflicts with reference (a) exist, this NAVADMIN takes precedence. 2. For the most current information concerning open designator codes, visit https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs, click the *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In- Service Procurement Board* link, then select Applicant Information link, then select current LDO and CWO designators link. 3. Eligibility. All applicants for the LDO, CWO and WO1 programs must have a security clearance prior to commissioning, must be able to complete operational duty screening and be worldwide assignable. Updated policy guidance to reference (a): a. All time-in-service (TIS) and time-in-grade (TIG) requirements for the FY-23 Active-Duty LDO and CWO In-Service Procurement Board (ISPB) will be computed to 1 October 2022. b. TIS and TIG requirements are: (1) LDO: 8-14 years TIS and 1 year TIG for E-6 and above. TIS waivers beyond 14 years will be considered up to 180 days for LDO applicants. No further exceptions will be entertained. (2) Applicants for LDO off-ramp designators (629X, 651X, 681X and 682X) may apply with up to 15 years of service and must understand designator specific off-ramp requirements and procedures defined in references (b) through (d). TIS waivers will not be considered or exceptions granted for off-ramp designators. (3) Nuclear Power LDO (620X) applicants may apply with up to 16 years of service.

(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 evaluations due 15 November 2021 will be submitted as an addendum per guidelines of this NAVADMIN. If selected for CPO and the pinning date is after 15 November 2021, the close-out eval is not required. Once all of the CPO results are in, 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 2021 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 NECs in more than one field may request a secondary CCA (i.e., 783X CI/HUMINT / 783X OPINTEL). e. First class petty officers serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa determined to be chief petty officer board eligible in line with 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). g. Applicants in designators outlined in reference (a) requiring to meet color perception requirements shall have test results documented as a telephone consult (T-Con) in Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA) within the past 12 months and provide hard copy or have test results documented on SF-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 the *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board* 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 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 Active Duty Naval Officers (LDOs or CWOs preferred). Every effort (including teleconference media) shall be made to ensure the senior board member is from the LDO or CWO designator family for which the applicant is applying. a. It is highly recommended that the senior member of the interview panel for applicants applying for LDO is 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 CAPT LDOs that reverted to another designator via 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. For CWO applicants, the senior member of the interview panel shall be a LCDR or above with at least one in-designator CWO4 or CWO5 as a board member. If a LCDR or above is not available, a CWO5 can serve as the senior board member as long as the other members are junior (CWO3, CWO4). c. Minimum grade requirements for board members are Lieutenant or CWO3. d. Only three interview appraisals are authorized to be submitted for each applicant. e. Interview Appraisal Board member preparation for applicant appraisal boards is an important part of a well-run board. Review of the applicant application, review of discrete requirements for the applicant designator, having well thought out questions on technical expertise, leadership and knowledge of the designator they are applying for to include future career path if selected are all great examples of board member preparation. f. The technical ability and potential block on the interview appraisal sheet must be marked for LDO and CWO candidates. 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. Click the *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board* link, then select Applicant Information, then select LDO and CWO In-Service Procurement Board to download the form. 5. Application Submission. Communication to the board (application, addendums, etc.) should originate from the applicant via their CO. However, it is acceptable for the command to submit an applicants package on their behalf, provided that the package has been endorsed by the CO and the applicant has been provided a copy of their entire package prior to submission. Information received that is not under the cover letter of the applicant (e.g., third party correspondence) and endorsed by the command, or not received by the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) by the established deadline(s) will not be presented to the board. a. All applications must be submitted along with a command screened LDO/CWO Eligibility Checklist. b. Each applicant and CO/OIC must ensure applications/addendums are complete and accurate. Incomplete applications could result in non- selection. Applications must be signed by the CO/OIC of the applicant or *Acting*. Addendums can be signed *By direction* if the CO or OIC is unavailable. c. As previously stated, all applicants must possess a security clearance prior to commission. Refer to reference (a), (chapters 2 and 7) for security clearance information, program overview and eligibility criteria. d. CO/OIC endorsements must contain the following statement: *Applicant meets all requirements outlined in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, NAVADMIN 116/21, the physical fitness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J, and is worldwide assignable.* The endorsement must clearly identify the command, and must be signed by the CO/OIC, and include the CO or OICs command point of contact information. 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 they are not already in Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). f. Applicants are not required to include an obligatory service statement to remain on active duty as part of their personal statement. g. Applicants currently serving in an IAMM, GSA or OSA 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 . Click the *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board* link then select Applicant Information, then select LDO and CWO In- Service Procurement Board to download the form (See Sample Addendum Letter). h. Applicants must submit sequentially numbered enclosures to the application/addendum, annotated on the bottom right corner of each page with the last name and full social security number of the applicant in the top right corner. Addendums must include a command endorsement. The FY-23 Active-Duty LDO and CWO ISPB board number is 23181. The FY-23 Active-Duty Nuclear LDO ISPB board number is 23182. i.

THIS MESSAGE UPDATES PARAGRAPH (7) IN U.S. NAVY COVID-19 STANDING GUIDANCE. REF (A) IS CANCELLED. WITH MORE THAN A YEAR OPERATING IN THE COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT, OUR SAILORS, CIVILIANS AND CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL HAVE ASSUMED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GAINED SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE IN MITIGATING AND PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE AS DEMONSTRATED BY ACHIEVING THE LOWEST SERVICE COVID-19 CASE COUNT AND HIGHEST VACCINATION RATES. WE MUST CONTINUE TO PURSUE FULL VACCINATION AND APPLY BEST HEALTH PROTECTION MEASURES BOTH AT HOME AND AT WORK TO SUSTAIN AND IMPROVE UPON THIS PERFORMANCE. COMMANDING OFFICERS ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH PROTECTION OF THEIR CREWS AND SHOULD APPLY THE GUIDANCE PROVIDED BELOW TO BEST FIT THEIR SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL SITUATION SUPPORTED BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY AND GUIDED BY THEIR CHAIN OF COMMAND. IN THE ABSENCE OF OPNAV OR DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) GUIDANCE, FOLLOW THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC) GUIDANCE. WIDESPREAD IMMUNIZATION, COMMAND ENGAGEMENT, CREW OWNERSHIP, AND INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABILITY ARE THE CORNERSTONES TO OUR SUCCESS TO DATE. HEALTH PROTECTION MEASURES SUCH AS VACCINATION, THE CREATION OF A BUBBLE, FACE COVERINGS, PHYSICAL DISTANCING, STAYING OUT OF THE WORKSPACE WHEN FEELING ILL AND AGGRESSIVE SPACE CLEANING ARE THE GREATEST INFLUENCERS TO PREVENT AND ISOLATE COVID-19. THE COVID-19 VACCINES AUTHORIZED BY THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ARE SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND IN PARTICULAR, ARE VITAL TO PROTECTING RECIPIENTS FROM HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH. COMMANDING OFFICERS SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO EDUCATE THEIR CREWS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATION AND FACILITATE OPEN DISCUSSIONS WITH MEDICAL PERSONNEL IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS. DOCUMENTED COVID-19 CASES AMONG IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL ARE VERY INFREQUENT AND ALL CASES HAVE BEEN MILD TO MODERATE. CONSISTENT WITH REF (F), TO DATE NONE OF THE MORE THAN 230,000 FULLY IMMUNIZED NAVY AND MARINE CORPS MEMBERS HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED. 2. DEFINITIONS. COVID-19 CASE, CLOSE CONTACT, INFLUENZA LIKE ILLNESS (ILI), ISOLATION, QUARANTINE, TESTING (DIAGNOSTIC, SCREENING, AND SURVEILLANCE), AND OTHER DEFINITIONS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CDC WEBSITE. THE FOLLOWING NAVY DEFINITIONS ARE PROVIDED: 2.A. PATIENT (OR PERSON) UNDER INVESTIGATION (PUI): AN INDIVIDUAL WITH SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 WHO HAS A TEST RESULT PENDING OR WOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED HAD A TEST BEEN AVAILABLE. ASYMPTOMATIC INDIVIDUALS QUARANTINED DUE TO CLOSE CONTACT WITH A COVID-19 POSITIVE MEMBER ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AS PUIS. ASYMPTOMATIC INDIVIDUALS BEING TESTED FOR COVID-19 ARE NOT CONSIDERED PUIS WHILE AWAITING TEST RESULTS. 2.B. HIGH-RISK PERSONNEL: THOSE INDIVIDUALS, DESIGNATED BY A MEDICAL PROVIDER, WHO MEET THE CDC CRITERIA FOR INCREASED RISK OF SEVERE ILLNESS HTTPS://WWW.CDC.GOV/CORONAVIRUS/2019-NCOV/NEED-EXTRA-PRECAUTIONS/ PEOPLE-AT-HIGHER-RISK.HTML. 2.C. RESTRICTION OF MOVEMENT (ROM): GENERAL DOD TERM FOR LIMITING PERSONAL INTERACTION TO REDUCE RISK TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF A BROADER COHORT. PERSONNEL EXECUTING A ROM ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A DUTY STATUS AND ROM PERIODS WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS LEAVE. 2.C.1. ROM-SEQUESTER: U.S. NAVY TERM FOR PREEMPTIVE SEPARATION OF FORCES TO REDUCE RISK OF INFECTION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH A COVID-FREE BUBBLE. 2.D. BUBBLE: TERM FOR INDIVIDUALS, UNITS OR INSTALLATIONS THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED LOW PROBABILITY OF COVID-19 INFECTION DUE TO CREW IMMUNIZATION LEVEL AND/OR COMPLETION OF 14 DAY ROM-SEQUESTER FOR NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS. 2.E. VACCINATED: AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS RECEIVED THE FIRST SHOT IN A SERIES OF TWO SHOTS OF COVID-19 VACCINE. WHILE NOT USED IN THE TRADITIONAL MEDICAL CONTEXT, THE TERMS VACCINATED AND IMMUNIZED WILL BE USED TO DIFFERENTIATE THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED PARTIAL OR FULL DOSES, RESPECTIVELY. 2.F. IMMUNIZED / FULLY VACCINATED: INTERCHANGEABLE TERMS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO COMPLETED THE VACCINE SERIES AND IS CONSIDERED IMMUNE TWO WEEKS AFTER THE VACCINE SEQUENCE IS COMPLETE. IMMUNITY DURATION WILL BE GUIDED BY CDC, BUT IS NO LESS THAN SEVEN MONTHS FOR THIS STANDING GUIDANCE. 2.G. DEFERRED: AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS OFFERED AN AUTHORIZED VACCINE, BUT DECLINED OR WAS UNABLE TO RECEIVE IT FOR ANY REASON. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED AND ALLOWED TO CHOOSE, AT ANY TIME, TO RECEIVE THE VACCINE UNLESS MEDICALLY CONTRAINDICATED. AFTER RECEIVING A VACCINE DOSE, AN INDIVIDUAL WILL NO LONGER BE LISTED AS DEFERRED. 2.H. BUBBLE TO BUBBLE TRANSFER (B2BT): TERM FOR MOVEMENT OF UNITS OR PERSONNEL FROM ONE BUBBLE TO ANOTHER VIA CONTROLLED MEANS. A WIDE VARIETY OF MODES OR MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION CAN BE USED FOR B2BT. THE KEY FACTOR IS THAT THE EVOLUTION IS CLOSELY CONTROLLED TO MINIMIZE RISK OF COVID-19 EXPOSURE TO BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND UNITS WHO HAVE NOT COMPLETED A ROM-SEQUESTER DURING TRANSFER. 2.I. HEALTH PROTECTION MEASURES (HPM): TERM FOR MEASURES TAKEN TO DECREASE RISK OF COVID-19 IN AN OPERATIONAL SETTING. THIS INCLUDES PHYSICAL DISTANCING, WEARING OF FACEMASKS, AND ENHANCED ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANING. FULLY IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO WEAR FACEMASKS OR PHYSICALLY DISTANCE FROM OTHERS. EXCEPTIONS ARE THAT FACEMASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED FOR ALL MEDICAL AND DENTAL PERSONNEL WHEN PROVIDING HEALTH CARE AND FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS UNDERGOING TRAVEL ABOARD PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO JOIN A CREW ALREADY UNDERWAY, REGARDLESS OF IMMUNIZATION STATUS. 3. CLOSE CONTACTS AND SYMPTOMATIC PERSONNEL. 3.A. CLOSE CONTACTS WHO HAVE BEEN FULLY VACCINATED AND INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE TESTED POSITIVE IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS DO NOT NEED TO QUARANTINE.

SYMPTOMATIC PERSONNEL REGARDLESS OF IMMUNIZATION STATUS SHALL FOLLOW LOCAL MEDICAL AND CDC GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE SICK. 3.C. A NON-IMMUNIZED PATIENT WITH SUSPECTED COVID-LIKE ILLNESS (CLI) OR ILI WHO HAS TESTED NEGATIVE FOR COVID-19 MAY RETURN TO WORK AFTER: (1) AT LEAST 24 HOURS AFTER THE RESOLUTION OF FEVER WITHOUT THE USE OF FEVER REDUCING MEDICATION; (2) IMPROVEMENT IN SYMPTOMS AND; (3) AT LEAST 10 DAYS SINCE THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMS. IMMUNIZED PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED CLI/ILI SHOULD CONSULT THEIR MEDICAL PROVIDER BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK. 3.D. COVID-19 CASES MAY CONTINUE TO TEST POSITIVE FOR UP TO THREE MONTHS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF PERSISTENT NON-INFECTIOUS VIRAL FRAGMENTS AND THEREFORE EXEMPT FROM TESTING PROTOCOL FOR THREE MONTHS FROM THE EARLIER OF SYMPTOM ONSET OR FIRST POSITIVE TEST. INDIVIDUALS WHO EXHIBIT NEW OR PERSISTENT SYMPTOMS DURING THAT THREE MONTH PERIOD SHOULD BE EVALUATED BY A MEDICAL PROVIDER. 3.E. OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION AND CONTACT TRACING WORKFORCE TRAINING. EACH COMMAND WILL MAINTAIN THE ABILITY TO EXECUTE CONTACT TRACING FOR ASSIGNED PERSONNEL BY HAVING AN APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF PERSONNEL TRAINED (NO LESS THAN TWO) BASED ON UNIT IMMUNIZATION LEVEL. NAVY E-LEARNING: CONTACT TRACING TRAINING FOR SAILORS AND MARINES CFHP-NMFSC-CTSM-01 OR TEST-OUT ASSESSMENT FOR CONTACT TRACING TRAINING FOR SAILORS AND MARINES CFHP-NMFSC-CTSMTA-01. 4. DEPLOYED OPERATIONS 4.A. PRE-DEPLOYMENT SCREENING. SCREENING FOR ALL PERSONNEL WILL CONSIST OF AN ASSESSMENT OF EXPOSURE HISTORY, A REVIEW OF ANY PAST TESTING AND A THOROUGH EVALUATION OF THE MEMBERS RISK FACTORS FOR SEVERE ILLNESS FROM COVID-19. THE DECISION TO DEPLOY A HIGH RISK INDIVIDUAL MUST BE MADE, AT A MINIMUM, BY THE COMMANDING OFFICER IN CONSULTATION WITH MEDICAL PROVIDERS. MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND (MSC) WILL MEDICALLY SCREEN CIVIL SERVICE AND CONTRACT PERSONNEL FOR DEPLOYMENT ON MSC VESSELS IAW EXISTING MSC INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTRACTS. IMMUNIZATION STATUS SHOULD BE PART OF THE DECISION TO DEPLOY HIGH RISK PERSONNEL ALONG WITH THE PERCENT OF THE UNIT IMMUNIZED, THE PROXIMITY TO AN MILITARY TREATMENT FACILITY (MTF) OR AFLOAT MEDICAL FACILITY WITH COVID THERAPEUTICS AND ICU CAPABILITIES, AND MEDICAL PROVIDER CONSULTATION. 4.B. PRE-DEPLOYMENT ROM-SEQUESTER. ROM-SEQUESTER IS NOT REQUIRED FOR IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS ATTACHED TO SHIPS OR SUBMARINES, NOR FOR IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS TRAVELING BY AIRCRAFT UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY GCC AS MEANS OF RESPECTING HN LAW OR BY A MORE RESTRICTIVE DOD POLICY. FOR NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS ONLY, 14-DAY ROM-SEQUESTER WITH TEST-IN AND TEST-OUT IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT.DURING ROM-SEQUESTER, CONDUCT ENHANCED DAILY PERSONNEL MEDICAL SCREENING. 4.B.1. IAW REF (D), NON-IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL DEPLOYING OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES NOT USING MILITARY/CHARTERED TRANSPORTATION WILL CONDUCT A 14-DAY ROM PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT UNLESS COMBATANT COMMAND MANDATES IN-COUNTRY ROM. IAW REF (B), NCC MAY DELEGATE TO FIRST FLAG OFFICER/SES IN CHAIN OF COMMAND THE AUTHORIZATION TO REDUCE THIS ROM TIMELINE TO AS FEW AS SEVEN DAYS IF OPERATIONALLY NECESSARY WITH A NEGATIVE PCR TEST ADMINISTERED ONE TO THREE DAYS PRIOR TO EMBARKATION. INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HAD COVID-19 IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS ARE EXEMPT FROM ROM. IF TRAVELING OCONUS AND THE HOST NATION REQUIRES IN-COUNTRY ROM, CONUS PRE-DEPLOYMENT ROM-SEQUESTER IS NOT REQUIRED UNLESS THE HOST NATION OR COMBATANT COMMAND EXPLICITLY MANDATES BOTH. IMMUNIZED AND NON-IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL MUST CONSULT FOREIGN CLEARANCE GUIDANCE FOR MOST CURRENT REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL TRAVELERS, AVAILABLE AT HTTPS://WWW.FCG.PENTAGON.MIL. 4.B.2. ROM-SEQUESTER CONDUCTED ASHORE REQUIRES ISOLATION PER CDC GUIDANCE (IDEALLY SEPARATE ROOM, NO SHARED BATHROOM). A SECOND TEST SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON OR AFTER DAY 14 FOR NON-IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL. A NEGATIVE COVID TEST RESULT IS REQUIRED TO EMBARK AN OPERATIONAL UNIT IF NON-IMMUNIZED, OR IAW WITH NCC APPROVED COMMUNITY CONOPS (E.G., SSN/SSBN). 4.C. UNDERWAY HEALTH PROTECTION MEASURES (HPM). BASED ON A YEAR OF EXPERIENCE AND EXTENSIVE MODELING BY NAVY AND MARINE CORPS PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER INCORPORATING BASELINE NATURAL IMMUNITY, COVID PREVALENCE AND VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS WHICH IS CONTAINED IN REFS (E) AND (F), RECOMMEND UNDERWAY HPM IMPLEMENTATION AS FOLLOWS: -- LARGE DECKS WITH MEDICAL CAPABILITY (LPD/LHD/LHA/CVNS) AFTER NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS COMPLETE QUALITY 14 DAY PRE-DEPLOYMENT ROM AND HAVE A NEGATIVE PCR TEST PRIOR TO EMBARKING: NCCS MAY RELAX HPM FOR ALL CREWMEMBERS ONCE UNDERWAY PROVIDED IMMUNIZATION RATE OF COMBINED CREW IS GREATER THAN 70%. IF IMMUNIZATION RATE IS LESS THAN 70%, NON-IMMUNIZED CREWMEMBERS MUST PRACTICE HPM FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS UNDERWAY. IF NO CASES FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS, THEN NCCS MAY RELAX HPM. -- SMALLER SHIPS OR THOSE WITH LESS ON-BOARD MEDICAL CAPABILITY (LHD/LHA/LPDS WITHOUT FLEET SURGICAL TEAM OR BOARD CERTIFIED MEDICAL OFFICER EMBARKED), AFTER NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS COMPLETE QUALITY 14 DAY PRE-DEPLOYMENT ROM AND HAVE A NEGATIVE PCR TEST PRIOR TO EMBARK: NCCS MAY RELAX UNDERWAY HPM FOR ALL CREWMEMBERS ONCE UNDERWAY IF CREW IMMUNIZATION RATE IS GREATER THAN 80% (DUE TO LESS ONBOARD MEDICAL CAPABILITY). IF IMMUNIZATION RATE IS LESS THAN 80%, NON-IMMUNIZED CREWMEMBERS MUST PRACTICE HPM FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS UNDERWAY. IF NO CASES FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS, THEN NCCS MAY RELAX HPM. -- FOR ALL UNITS REGARDLESS OF TYPE WHEN NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS HAVE NOT COMPLETED PRE-DEPLOYMENT ROM (E.G., LOCAL OPS, GROUP SAIL OR C2X): NCCS MAY RELAX UNDERWAY HPM FOR ALL CREWMEMBERS PROVIDED COMBINED IMMUNIZATION RATE IS AT LEAST 90%. IF IMMUNIZATION RATE IS LESS THAN 90%, NON-IMMUNIZED CREWMEMBERS MUST PRACTICE HPM FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS UNDERWAY. IF NO CASES FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS, THEN NCCS MAY RELAX HPM. -- HPM MEASURES MAY BE TEMPORARILY RELAXED WHERE OPERATIONALLY NECESSARY. -- IT IS ALWAYS GOOD PRACTICE FOR ALL CREWMEMBERS TO PRACTICE HPM WHENEVER PRACTICAL REGARDLESS OF VACCINATION STATUS TO HELP PREVENT A WIDE VARIETY OF SHIPBORNE DISEASES. 4.C.1. DISEASE SEVERITY AND VACCINES. GIVEN FDA AUTHORIZED VACCINES PROTECT AGAINST DISEASE SEVERITY, EVEN IN THE VERY SMALL PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO MAY POTENTIALLY STILL GET COVID-19 INFECTION, THE RISK OF HAVING TO MEDEVAC AN IMMUNIZED COVID-19 INFECTED INDIVIDUAL IS EXTREMELY LOW. REDUCING THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE ILLNESS IS A KEY OUTCOME MEASURE THAT SPEAKS TO THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONS AT SEA WITHIN EXISTING MEDICAL CAPABILITIES. 4.D. PENETRATING A BUBBLE. SHIP RIDERS (E.G., CONTRACTORS, TECH REPS, INSPECTION TEAMS, ETC.), DIRECT SUPPORT PERSONNEL, AND ALL OTHERS ASSISTING COMMANDS PRIOR TO BUBBLE ESTABLISHMENT WILL ADHERE TO LOCAL FORCE HEALTH PROTECTION MEASURES. WHEN INVOLVED IN MOVEMENT TO SEQUENTIAL COMMANDS, IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO ROM-SEQUESTER NON-IMMUNIZED COHORTS, USE BUBBLE TO BUBBLE TRANSPORTATION, AND/OR TEST NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS PERIODICALLY. IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ROM-SEQUESTER. NCCS MAY REQUIRE NON-IMMUNIZED SHIP RIDERS PENETRATING AN ESTABLISHED BUBBLE TO COMPLETE A 14- DAY ROM-SEQUESTER WITH TEST-IN AND TEST-OUT PRIOR TO EMBARKING DEPENDENT ON CREW IMMUNIZATION LEVEL. A TEST IS NOT REQUIRED FOR PERSONNEL WHO HAVE RECOVERED FROM COVID-19 WITHIN THE PAST 90 DAYS (DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSISTENT POSITIVE RESULTS IN NON-INFECTIOUS PERSONS). IMMUNIZED PCS AND SHIP RIDERS WHO ARE ASYMPTOMATIC DO NOT NEED TO CONDUCT ROM PRIOR TO EMBARKING A SHIP. MITIGATION PLANS FOR NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS TO PENETRATE AN ESTABLISHED BUBBLE WITHOUT A 14 DAY ROM-SEQUESTER AND/OR TEST DUE TO EMERGENT OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE COMMANDING OFFICER. 4.E. PORT VISITS. COMMANDING OFFICERS MAY ALLOW IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS ON UNITS MAKING PORT CALLS IN OVERSEAS SAFE HAVEN PORTS WHERE THERE IS U.S. PRESENCE AND BASE FACILITIES (E.G., GUAM, BAHRAIN, YOKOSUKA, ROTA, SASEBO) TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BASE SERVICES. GEOGRAPHIC NCCS (DELEGABLE TO NUMBERED FLEET COMMANDERS) WILL CONTROL FOREIGN PORT VISIT OFF-BASE LIBERTY FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS IN COORDINATION WITH COUNTRY TEAMS AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT INDIVIDUAL AND CREW IMMUNIZATION STATUS, COUNTRY COVID PREVALENCE AND MISSION REQUIREMENTS. 4.F. AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS. COMMANDERS MAY NEED TO EXEMPT AIRCREW AND AIRCRAFT MAINTAINERS FROM THIS GUIDANCE TO MEET EMERGENT OPERATIONAL OR NATOPS CURRENCY REQUIREMENTS. MITIGATION PLANS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE COMMANDING OFFICER. FOR AVIATION UNITS EMBARKED ON SURFACE UNITS, MITIGATION PLANS WILL BE INCLUDED AND APPROVED AS PART OF THE OVERALL SHIP HEALTH PROTECTION PLAN. 4.G. TESTING. TESTING IS THE ONLY METHOD TO DETECT ASYMPTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE NON-IMMUNIZED FORCE. CONSIDER SCREENING TESTS FOR NON-IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS DURING OFRP CYCLE TO IDENTIFY COVID-19 EARLY AND TO BREAK THE TRANSMISSION CYCLE. CONTINUOUSLY ASSESS THE INTEGRITY OF A BUBBLE THROUGH CLI/ILI SCREENING OF NON-IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL. PLATFORMS WITH TESTING CAPABILITY SHOULD EMPLOY SYMPTOMATIC TESTING (DIAGNOSTIC) FOR EVERYONE AND TARGETED CREW TESTING (SCREENING) FOR NON- IMMUNIZED SAILORS. ALL COVID-19 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS MUST BE ENTERED IN THE MEDICAL RECORD. SCREENING AND SURVEILLANCE TESTS THAT ARE INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE MUST BE ENTERED INTO THE MEDICAL RECORD. DIAGNOSTIC POOLED TESTING UNDERWAY IS ALLOWED FOR MODERATE COMPLEXITY LABS USING BIOFIRE AND CEPHEID AND WILL ONLY BE CONDUCTED IN DIRECT COORDINATION WITH NAVAL HEALTH RESEARCH CENTER AND REQUIRES NOTIFICATION OF BUMED SURGEON GENERAL OR DEPUTY SURGEON GENERALS OFFICE BY THE FLEET SURGEON. 4.H. POST-DEPLOYMENT. IAW CDC GUIDANCE, NON-IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL RETURNING TO CONUS FROM DEPLOYMENT ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A NEGATIVE VIRAL TEST RESULT NO MORE THAN THREE DAYS BEFORE TRAVEL INTO THE U.S.; BE TESTED 3-5 DAYS AFTER ARRIVAL AND STAY HOME AND SELF-QUARANTINE FOR SEVEN FULL DAYS, EVEN IF THE TEST IS NEGATIVE. POST DEPLOYMENT ROM AND TESTING IS NOT REQUIRED FOR PERSONNEL WHO HAVE RECOVERED FROM COVID-19 WITHIN THE PAST 90 DAYS (DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSISTENT POSITIVE RESULTS IN NON-INFECTIOUS PERSONS), AND DOES NOT APPLY TO SHIPS, THEIR EMBARKED AIRCRAFT OR SUBMARINES RETURNING TO PORT PROVIDED THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACTIVE COVID-19 CASES OR POTENTIAL CONTACT WITH INFECTED PERSONNEL DURING THE LAST 14 DAYS OF DEPLOYMENT.NON- IMMUNIZED INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT GET TESTED MUST STAY HOME AND SELF- QUARANTINE FOR 10 DAYS AFTER TRAVEL. NON-IMMUNIZED SERVICE MEMBERS REDEPLOYING FROM, ORTHROUGH, A FOREIGN COUNTRY, UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DESTINATION DOMICILE WILL ROM AT THEIR PERSONAL RESIDENCE (OR APPROPRIATE DOMICILE) FOR AT LEAST 10 DAYS WITHOUT TESTING OR AFTER AN APPROPRIATE RISK ASSESSMENT BY THE FIRST FLAG OFFICER IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND FOR SEVEN DAYS WITH A NEGATIVE COVID-19 TEST WITHIN 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SEVEN DAY ROM. SERVICE MEMBERS REQUIRED TO ROM ARE RESTRICTED TO THEIR RESIDENCE AND MUST LIMIT CLOSE \CONTACTS FOR THE DURATION OF ROM. 4.H.1. IMMUNIZED PERSONNEL HAVE NO ROM OR TESTING REQUIREMENTS POST- DEPLOYMENT. 4.H.2. AT THE COMPLETION OF DEPLOYMENT, MILITARY PERSONNEL WILL COMPLETE A POST-DEPLOYMENT HEALTH ASSESSMENT (DD FORM 2796) AND POST-DEPLOYMENT HEALTH REASSESSMENT (DD FORM 2900) IAW REF (D). 5. ALL UNITS, STAFFS AND SHORE COMMANDS. 5.A. HPM. FOLLOW LATEST DOD FORCE HEALTH PROTECTION, CDC AND STATE/LOCAL AREA GUIDANCE TO ENSURE THE HEALTH OF THE FORCE. 5.B. SEE REF (J) NAVADMIN FOR LATEST GUIDANCE ON ADJUSTING HEALTH PROTECTION CONDITIONS AND BASE SERVICES. 5.C. SEE REF (K) NAVADMIN UPDATES FOR LATEST GUIDANCE ON CONDITIONS BASED APPROACHES TO PERSONNEL MOVEMENT AND TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS. 6. CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES. COMMANDERS MUST ENSURE ROM AND MEDICAL SCREENING GUIDANCE GIVEN TO DOD CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES CAN BE APPLIED CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE CIVILIAN PERSONNEL LAW, REGULATION, AND POLICY. 6.A. CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL. THIS GUIDANCE DOES NOT ALTER, MODIFY, OR CHANGE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY DOD CONTRACT. COMMANDERS MUST ENSURE ROM AND MEDICAL SCREENING GUIDANCE GIVEN TO DOD CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL CAN BE APPLIED CONSISTENT WITH THE PERTINENT CONTRACT AND APPLICABLE PROCUREMENT LAW, REGULATION, AND POLICY. 7. PROVISION OF CREW HEALTH INFORMATION, TESTING AND QUARANTINE. NCCS WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY GUIDANCE IN REF (L) REGARDING HOST NATION COVID-19 QUARANTINE AND TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ARRIVING U.S. FORCES AND CIVILIAN PERSONNEL. 7.A. SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. SOME COUNTRIES MAY REQUEST DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE CREW ONBOARD, INCLUDING TEST RESULTS, PROOF OF VACCINATION, ETC., AS A CONDITION OF ENTRY. IT IS DOD AND DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY POLICY TO PRESERVE THE SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY OF WARSHIPS, NAVAL AUXILIARIES, AND SOVEREIGN IMMUNE AIRCRAFT, INCLUDING PROTECTING CREW INFORMATION, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE. THE NAVY DECLARATION OF HEALTH (NAVMED 6210/3) IS THE ONLY AUTHORIZED MEANS FOR PROVIDING HEALTH INFORMATION OF THE CREW TO FOREIGN OFFICIALS. PROVIDING ANY INFORMATION BEYOND THE NAVMED 6210/3 AS A CONDITION OF ENTRY EXCEEDS THE U.S. REQUIREMENTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW AND CONTRARY TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH POSITION. SHOULD A HOST NATION REQUIRE INFORMATION BEYOND THE NAVMED 6210/3 AS A CONDITION OF ENTRY, CONSULT WITH THE APPLICABLE GEOGRAPHIC NAVAL COMPONENT COMMAND (GNCC). SEE REF (M) FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE. 7.A.1. COMMANDING OFFICERS, MASTERS, AND AIRCRAFT COMMANDERS SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN QUARANTINE REGULATIONS FOR PORT ENTRY, AND MAY DOCUMENT SUCH COMPLIANCE ON THE NAVMED 6210/3. COMMANDING OFFICERS, MASTERS, AND AIRCRAFT COMMANDERS SHALL NOT PROVIDE ANY INDIVIDUAL OR COLLECTIVE MEDICAL DATA OR COPIES OF HEALTH RECORDS, NOR ANY SUPPLEMENTARY OR LOCALLY DEMANDED HEALTH FORMS, AND SHALL NOT GRANT ACCESS TO SHIP OR CREW HEALTH RECORDS OR ALLOW THE SAME TO BE SEARCHED OR INSPECTED BY HOST NATIONS. 7.A.2. SERVICE MEMBERS AND THE CREWS OF NAVAL AUXILIARIES WILL NOT SUBMIT TO HOST NATION COVID-19 TESTING AS A REQUIREMENT OF PORT ENTRY. NOR SHALL HOST NATION OFFICIALS BE PERMITTED TO REQUIRE PRODUCTION OF, OR TAKE A PHOTOCOPY OF, SERVICE MEMBERS PROOF OF VACCINATION AS A CONDITION OF PORT ENTRY. 7.A.3. ANY ACTION THAT MAY CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OR POTENTIAL WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY MUST BE COORDINATED WITH OPNAV N3N5 PRIOR TO ACTION BEING TAKEN. IAW REFS (L) AND (M), AND NAVY POLICY, GNCCS SHALL PROVIDE AS LITTLE INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO MEET MISSION ESSENTIAL OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT TO ANY REQUIREMENT THAT THE U.S. WOULD NOT REQUIRE OF SIMILAR VISITORS (E.G., THE U.S. DOES NOT REQUIRE HN TESTING OR PROOF OF VACCINATION FOR THE CREWS OF VISITING WARSHIPS OR NAVAL AUXILIARIES).

There's a perk for those who have gotten the COVID-19 vaccination. https://fb.watch/5M_Lz0OsnQ/

Sailors still are not getting enough sleep more than three years after the Navy issued a policy to address fatigue in the wake of two deadly collisions blamed in part on sleep deprivation, a government watchdog said. Only about 14% of officers received the recommended seven hours or more of sleep during their most recent deployment, and 67% received five hours or less, the Government Accountability Office found. About 84% said fatigue-related conditions among the crew often or sometimes affect ship operations.

A former US Navy fighter pilot recently shared details and some of her thoughts on an unusual experience almost two decades ago, an encounter with an unidentified flying object nicknamed the "Tic Tac." In mid-November 2004, as the Navy's Nimitz Carrier Strike Group trained off the West Coast in preparation for an upcoming deployment, the destroyer USS Princeton detected several UFOs, also called anomalous aerial vehicles or unidentified aerial phenomena, moving in inexplicable ways around the carrier group.

Sailors who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can now make some port calls, often go mask-free and deploy without quarantining beforehand, the Navy has announced. “With more than a year operating in the COVID environment, we have gained significant expertise in mitigating and preventing the spread of COVID-19,” Vice Adm. Phillip Sawyer, deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans and strategy, said in a statement. “Now with vaccines and CDC scientific data, we are able to relax many of the procedures we put in place and still provide for the health protection of the force.”

PENSACOLA, Fla. — As Memorial Day approaches every year, it is customary for the Navy to release E-4 through E-6 total force advancement results for more than 90,000 eligible candidates on active duty, full-time support (FTS) and in the Selected Reserve (SELRES). This year, like the last, results will be delayed due to COVID-19 mitigations and the expanded window of exam administrations. For Reserve E-4 through E-6 candidates (cycle 108), the command triads will be notified June 24, and the results will be published on profile sheets in the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) Web on June 25. For the active-duty and full-time support E-4 through E-6 candidates (cycle 251), the command triads will be notified on July 8, and the results will be published on profile sheets in NEAS Web on July 9. “One of the biggest questions we receive is, ‘why do the results take so long?’” said Navy Advancement Center Deputy Director, Tom Updike. To understand the answer to this question, it is important to know the process and advancement timeline associated with each exam cycle. First, exams are created and distributed from Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) in Pensacola, Florida, to all of the requesting commands around the fleet. “Typically you have a single exam administration date, but now that is a two-week window of testing for each paygrade [due to COVID-19],” said Updike. “Exam answer sheet returns are mostly delayed until the end of the [30-day] administration windows.” Once exams are administered, commands have an additional window of time to administer substitute exams to Sailors who may have missed the original window. “The exam scoring process requires we get back all substitute answer sheets as well,” said Updike. “Substitute exams administered aboard fleet units in the Indian Ocean take much longer to receive than answer sheets express-mailed from San Diego or Norfolk.” Next, the employees of the fleet services branch of NETPDC, who work up to eight advancement cycles at a time and scan more than 230,000 answer sheets a year, then scan Sailor exam answer sheets the day they arrive in the mail. “All answer sheets are scanned into the system within 24 hours of them arriving on site,” said Updike. “Fleet services staff work diligently to ensure errors are corrected and the data is uploaded into NEAS as quickly and efficiently as possible.” Once 95% of a cycle’s exam answer sheets have arrived and processed, to include all aircraft carriers, NETPDC creates an advancement plan (ADPLAN). “An ADPLAN is a report listing the number of Sailors that passed the exam in each rating,” said Updike. “That report is made available to the enlisted community managers, and at that point there is a process they go through to complete rating quota determinations.” NETPDC continues to scan late answer sheets and validate data in NEAS until quotas are provided from the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP). Up until the time for publishing the results, NETPDC works continuously to correct discrepancies using the Sailors’ Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAW). “We try to clear as many discrepancies as we can,” said Updike. “We don’t want Sailors to get a profile sheet that says you don’t have any results because you still have a discrepancy in NEAS.” Educational Service Officers (ESOs) can submit discrepancy corrections for Sailors via the EAW Post-Exam Administration Change (PAC) in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) after the worksheet is locked and data is sent to NEAS. The advancement results schedule is set by CNP. After publication of results, commands are authorized to frock Sailors to the next-higher pay grade. NETPDC then processes pay increments and sets advancement dates. Spring cycle advancements are incremented from July to December, with the majority of Sailors advanced in the final increment. Similar to previous COVID mitigation exam cycles, E-4 candidates (except some rating entry Reserve Sailors) did not take an exam. Rather, each E-4 advancement candidate will be given the same exam score when calculating their final multiple score (FMS) to establish a rank-order standing among peers. This means the E-4 rank order is mostly influenced by each Sailor’s performance mark average. Because quotas are developed the exact same way, the advancement opportunity for E-3 Sailors is not impacted by the rank order without taking an exam. “The primary goal of NEAS is that no Sailor is disadvantaged in the advancement processes, said Updike. “Another delay in our cycle results due to COVID is only acceptable when we know that every Sailor was given a fair opportunity to compete for advancement.” As part of the MyNavy HR Force Development team, NETPDC provides products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development and personnel advancement throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the Voluntary Education Department, the NAC and the Resources Management Department.

This NAVADMIN announces the guidance for the administration of the September 2021 (cycle 252) Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) for advancement-in-rate of Active Duty (AD) and Full-Time Support (FTS) Sailors to paygrades E-5 and E-6 and the use of an alternative final multiple score (FMS) rank-order method, without an exam, for E-4 advancement candidates. a. As a continued safety measure due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, E-4 advancement candidates will not participate in the NWAE, 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-5 and E-6 advancement candidates will be administered the NWAE utilizing testing windows vice single-day testing. These expanded testing windows will allow for smaller groups of test takers to ensure adequate social distancing can be maintained between testers at testing facilities, while maintaining the high standards and continued culture of learning that drive our enlisted advancement system. This is identical to the advancement policy used in the 2021 spring NWAE cycle, and is a change from reference (a). b. In addition to the requirements in this NAVADMIN and chapter 6 of reference (a), educational services officers (ESO) must follow the pre-exam preparation requirements in the exam verbatim, which can be found on the navy enlisted advancement system (NEAS) website via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/command- information. 2. Timeline a. 31 July 2021: Professional military knowledge - eligibility exam (PMK-EE) completion date. b. 1-16 September 2021: E-6 exam administration. Enlisted advancement worksheets (EAW) will close one week after the exam date on the worksheet. c. 17-30 September 2021: E-5 exam administration. EAWs will close one week after the exam date on the worksheet. d. E-4 exams are cancelled, but E-4 EAWs must be completed by 30 September 2021. 3. Eligibility requirements are found in chapter 2 of reference (a). The following information is specific only to cycle 252: a. The terminal eligibility date used to compute time-in-rate (TIR) is 1 January 2022. b. The minimum TIR date must be on or before: E-6 - 1 January 2019 E-5 - 1 January 2021 E-4 - 1 July 2021 c. E-6 candidate TIR requirements for early promote Sailors can be waived by one year with the commanding officer (CO)/officer-in- charge (OIC) approval, in line with paragraph 214.e of reference (a). d. High-year tenure (HYT) date must be effective 1 January 2022 or later. All HYT waivers must be approved prior to 1 September 2021 to be able to participate in cycle 252. e. 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 September 2021. If the CO of the candidate grants an interim clearance, it must be entered in DISS prior to 1 September 2021. 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 EAW of the candidate. Ratings requiring a security clearance are AC, AE, AG, AO, ATI, ATO, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AWV, AZ, CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, FC, FCA, GM, HT, IC, IS, IT, LN, MA, MC, MN, ND, OS, QM, SB, SO, STG, YN, and all nuclear and submarine ratings. Refer to references (a) and (b) for additional guidance. f. Candidates for advancement to E-4 and E-5 must compute performance mark average (PMA) using all applicable evaluations in the current pay grade with an ending date that falls within the following time periods: E-4 - 1 January 2021 to 31 August 2021 E-5 - 1 June 2020 to 31 August 2021 g. Candidates for advancement to E-6 must compute the reporting senior cumulative average (RSCA) PMA, as outlined in reference (c), using all applicable evaluations in the current pay grade with the ending date that falls within the time period: E-6 - 1 September 2018 to 31 August 2021 h. Refer to reference (c) and paragraph 308.b. 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. i. PMK-EE is mandatory for candidates to participate in the cycle 252 advancement cycle, even if no exam is being administered, and must be successfully completed once for the administration paygrade, in accordance with reference (d). The completion deadline is 31 July 2021 and no Sailor should be permitted to participate in the advancement cycle without having a completed PMK-EE for the administration paygrade captured in EAW. j. For guidance on establishing EAW user roles and completing worksheets, refer to reference (e). EAW is mandatory for cycle 252 and will be the authority for PMA, RSCA PMA, and awards. k. Commands must accurately validate, complete and finalize all E-4 EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System in a timely manner. EAW accuracy is critical since NEAS will be reprogrammed to use finalized EAWs 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 252 E-4 EAWs must be completed by 30 September 2021. 4. Exam Ordering. Order exams in line with chapter 4 of reference (a). a.

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 109 SELRES NWAE. Full-Time Support Personnel with a SPI code of V will take cycle 252 (E-4 through E-6) Active-Duty NWAEs. h. 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. i. 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 2021 to 31 July 2021 (2) E-5 - 1 June 2020 to 31 July 2021 j. For candidates eligible for advancement to E-6, calculate the reporting seniors cumulative average (RSCA) PMA, as outlined in reference (c), using evaluations in the current paygrade of the candidate with the ending date that falls within the time period 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2021. k. Refer to reference (c) 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. l. For guidance on establishing EAW user roles and completing worksheets, refer to reference (d). EAW is mandatory for cycle 109 and will be the authority for PMA, RSCA PMA and awards. m. PMK-EE is mandatory for cycle 109 candidates, even if no NWAE is being administered, and must be successfully completed once for the administration paygrade. The PMK-EE completion deadline is 30 June 2021, in accordance with reference (e). No Sailor should be permitted to participate in the advancement cycle without having a completed PMK-EE for the administration paygrade captured in EAW. n. Commands must accurately validate, complete and finalize all E-4 EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System. EAW accuracy is critical since Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) will be reprogrammed to use finalized EAWs 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 109 E-4 EAWs must be completed by 31 August 2021. 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 dates can be found on the NEAS website via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/my- advancement. Educational Services Officers (ESOs) must verify initial TIR eligibility lists on the NEAS website for exam ordering. Supplemental SCI exams are ordered via preferred message formatted e-mail to sfly_cryptologic.products(at)navy.mil or naval message following the guidelines with chapter 4 of reference (a). The deadline for additional orders is 9 June 2021. c. Non-SCI Exams (1) Initial exam ordering for non-SCI exams will be available from 8 June through 27 June 2021.

Supplemental TIR lists will be available from 21 June 2021 to 11 July 2021. The deadline to order supplemental SELRES exams is 31 August 2021. d. Exams ordered after the TIR lists have closed and exams for PRISE-R Sailors shall be ordered using preferred message formatted e-mail or naval message following the guidelines in chapter 4 of reference (a). Ensure a point of contact is included in the submitted e-mail or message. 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 109 SELRES exam and not the cycle 252 (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 2021. g. Cycle 109 exams should only be administered from 1 August through 12 September. Refer to paragraphs 4.g.(1) and 4.g.(2) below for requests to retain exams for late administration on the next drill weekend in September 2021. Approved late administrations must be administered prior to 1 October 2021. (1) Since SELRES may take the NWAE anytime from 1 August through 12 September, Annual Training (AT) and Additional Duty for Training (ADT) orders are not a valid reason for Sailors to take the late administration. 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, then the ESO shall coordinate with the gaining command to forward the Sailors exam and EAW. (2) Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) (N321) has the final approval for all late 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 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 the next drill weekend in September 2021. Ensure the reason for a requested delay is included. h. ESOs must verify the exam orders at the *View Previous Exam Orders* link via the NEAS website within 7 to 10 days of placing the order. If exam order discrepancies are noted, contact NETPDC (N321) as listed on the NEAS website at NETPDC (N321) Point of Contact Table. 5. Exam administration and answer sheet returns a. SELRES E-5 through E-6 and E-4 PRISE-R exam administrations will occur from 1 August through 12 September 2021. Administration for all late exam administrations will follow guidelines in references (a) and (b). b. Every effort should be made to spread the administration of the exams evenly throughout the exam administration period, in order to minimize the number of exam-takers at any one administration to ensure maximum social distancing. c. All commands should develop a plan to meet COVID-19 mitigations. Every effort should be made to ensure appropriate COVID-19 mitigation measures are in place, to include, but not limited to, face coverings if not fully immunized (two weeks beyond final dose), adequate social distancing, available hand sanitizer, medical (questionnaire) screenings and temperature checks. d. 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 window. 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). e. ESOs must check the exam tote board on the NEAS website often to ensure answer sheets have been received and processed. Answer sheets that are in error will not be counted until they are processed successfully. f. All 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.

June marks the start of "PCS Season." Over the next few months, thousands of Sailors and their families are beginning to pack up and move to a new duty station. Here are a few helpful tips from the experts. Finding your next job and getting to your next duty station successfully starts long before the packing begins. Sailors nearing the start of their orders negotiation window should check their records and ensure all qualifications and Navy Enlisted Classifications are listed and up to date. This simple records check will significantly impact what you are qualified to apply for and might make the difference in getting the orders you want and need for your career. Sailors with questions about the process or what is available to them should reach out to their detailer, who is one of their main advocates during the orders process. Once a Sailor is approved for orders and knows where they are headed, that is the time when they can build a personalized timeline, get packing tips, to-do lists and checklists with the Plan My Move online tool. A good idea is to not finalize any personal plans until orders are in hand. It is recommended, if able, to schedule move dates and begin packing once orders are in hand. Take a full inventory of your belongings. A smartphone, tablet or computer is an easy way to keep records of everything in your home. Free home inventory software is available at Ready.gov. You could also check with your insurance company to see if they have recommendations for an inventory app. Start early in planning what you will carry with you and what will be packed by the movers. Knowing what to pack and what to take with you is vital. Once you arrive at your new duty station, you may have to wait for your belongings to be delivered. This is especially true for those relocating overseas, where furniture and vehicles could take several months to arrive. Examples of essential items that you’ll need to keep with you at all times during your move include a copy of your orders, military IDs, driver’s licenses, social security cards and passports for every member of the family. If anything is damaged or lost during the move, you’ll need your insurance company information and your inventory on hand to file insurance claims. Don’t pack your inventory and send it with the movers — it might not make your destination. Bring it with you. Consider whether you will need other documents such as marriage, divorce, birth and naturalization certificates, as well as medical and medication information for each family member. Consider bringing electronic copies of items as a backup on your computer or smart devices. Research the area you are going to before you leave and have your temporary lodging details worked out ahead of time. If you haven’t been assigned one, ask your new command for a sponsor. Line up a sponsor and leverage them for details and points of contact to ensure you have someone to ask as urgent questions arise. As you get ready to leave your current house for the last time, don’t forget to forward your mail and make sure your pets are prepared for the move. Take a deep breath as you head off on your new adventure. Just remember to be as flexible as possible because things don’t always go according to plan. Part of taking charge of your move is expecting the unexpected. Moving is a challenging experience for children. Tell them about the move as soon as possible. Reassure them that the essential things in life – such as how much you love them – won’t change. For help, there is Military Kids Connect, an online community designed to help military children ages 6–17 deal with the psychological challenges of military life, including frequent moves. If you use these moving tips, you will be ready for your next move!

Agree, this is a strange one.

Sailors would get easier access to mental health providers in their own units under a new plan from Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Harker. Harker told reporters Wednesday he asked both the Defense Department and Congress to shift funds in the current budget to increase mental health services for members, including more specialists embedded in units.

So I guess it did not happen. If anyone knows why MyNavyHR removed their message please post.

Well, for some odd reason MyNavyHR took down this message after I had posted on this forum. I will leave it up for now but please be aware that it may not be valid.

The SBA is excited to announce that we’re hosting a virtual SBA OCONUS Military Spouse Entrepreneur Summit in collaboration with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes for military spouses located outside of the continental United States (OCONUS).

From Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Tyler C. Priestley, Commander, Navy Recruiting Command Public Affairs MILLINGTON, Tenn. - The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Program is put in place to give Reserve Sailors a chance to be a Reservist recruiter for five years. The program is available to both enlisted and officers and gives Sailors an opportunity to get more involved with their local communities while supporting the Navy’s mission. Joining the Navy Reserve is a great option for people who want to serve their country, while also pursuing a civilian career. However, if there comes a time when a career on active duty sounds appealing, there are several opportunities that exist for Reserve sailors to make the switch. One of those opportunities recruiting. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Randy Isom, assigned to Commander, Navy Recruiting Command here, has been travelling to Navy Operational Support Centers (NOSC) across the nation to educate Reserve Sailors about this opportunity. “We found out that a lot of Reservists were interested in recall orders, but they just didn’t know about the CANREC opportunity,” said Isom. “This is why we are trying to spread the word as much as possible.” Navy Recruiting Command is looking for individuals who are highly motivated and passionate about being recruiters. The goal is to not just fill quotas, but to find the best and most fully qualified applicants. Reserve Sailors are normally familiar with the civilian job market, and when talking to potential Sailors, their understanding of both worlds can offer a new perspective. “CANREC is actually a really big help because their input and their contributions are critical to the overall mission of the Navy,” said Isom. Qualifications for the CANREC program include; must be an active Selected Reservist at the time of recall, eligible for Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders, and meet rank requirements - E-4 to E-6 for enlisted and O-3 or below for officers. Selected Sailors are sent to Pensacola, Florida, for a 25-day recruiting skills course covering public speaking, prospecting, marketing and more. “If someone is interested in CANREC then they should get a hold of us,” said Bob Stolt, program manager for CANREC contracts. “We actually have funds to PCS sailors. So, if they are in the middle of nowhere and are interested in going somewhere like Florida then we can try to get them out there. They can go on their initial set of orders and we can try to have them stay for up to five years.” For more information on CANREC, see BUPERS instruction 1001.40 or contact your local Navy Reservist Recruiter at your NOSC. Navy Recruiting Command consists of a command headquarters, three Navy Recruiting Regions, 16 Navy Recruiting Districts and 10 Navy Talent Acquisition Groups that serve more than 1,330 recruiting stations across the world. Their combined goal is to attract the highest quality candidates to ensure the ongoing success of America’s Navy.
