In line with reference (a), this NAVADMIN announces the process and procedures that govern the Hometown Area Recruiting Program (HARP), Officer Hometown Area Recruiting Program (OHARP), and Senior Minority Assistance to Recruiting Program (SEMINAR). In an era of Great Power Competition, these programs play a key role in the recruiting of the Sailors of tomorrow in this tightening labor market and provide a great opportunity to highlight the experiences a candidate can gain from the Navy. 2. Blue Jacket HARP has been suspended due to the lack of funding, however, the remaining programs are still available to eligible officer and enlisted personnel to assist in building Navy awareness. 3. HARP and OHARP return outstanding Navy personnel to their hometowns to temporarily assist local recruiters in locating and enlisting or commissioning qualified individuals. SEMINAR provides assistance to the Navy in its efforts to recruit more African American, Hispanic and Asian Pacific Islander applicants and to enhance the Navy image in these communities. 4. HARP is a non-funded program in which enlisted personnel return to their hometowns for 12 days (beginning on Monday and ending on Friday the following week) to assist local recruiters by relating their Navy experiences to their peers. Participants should be prepared to visit high schools, prior places of employment and community locations where peers gather to discuss Navy opportunities while wearing the uniform of the day. Service Members who participate in the program may do so either on permissive, no-cost temporary additional duty (TEMADD) orders or while on leave in conjunction with permanent change of station (PCS) orders. 5. Blackout dates are the week of Thanksgiving, last 2 weeks of December and the first week of January. During these dates, no HARP requests will be approved. 6. Service Members requesting to participate in HARP duty in conjunction with PCS orders shall submit HARP requests to Navy Recruiting Command (NAVCRUITCOM) (N1) 6-9 months prior to the desired date (before PCS orders are finalized). NAVCRUITCOM (N1) shall submit all approved HARP requests to the Service Members detailer, who will place the appropriate accounting category code within the no-cost TEMADD orders. Service Members will not be entitled to reimbursement for any travel, transportation, per diem or miscellaneous expenses connected with HARP duty. Participants must obtain Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) from the station leading petty officer or leading chief petty officer, signed by the commanding officer of the Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NAVTALACQGRU) where the Service Member was assigned, documenting the Service Members participation in HARP. Upon reporting to the next duty station, such documentation will constitute the authority for this duty. 7. OHARP returns Navy officers to their hometown areas for 14 to 90 days to assist officer recruiters in locating individuals for Navy officer programs. Participants should be prepared to accompany the NAVTALACQGRU officer recruiters on visits to colleges and universities, centers of influence and community events. They will wear the uniform of the day and will be expected to discuss Navy opportunities and career paths. Command career counselors will serve as the command point of contact for program participation. 8. SEMINAR was established to provide assistance to the Navy in its effort to recruit more minority applicants and to enhance Navy image in underrepresented communities. SEMINAR temporarily returns highly qualified officers and senior enlisted personnel, E6 through O6, to their home communities for 20 days to meet with local community leaders, high school and college students to discuss the vast educational, career and advancement opportunities the Navy offers. 9. Additional Information a. Detailed requirements for each program are listed on the Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) webpage https://www.cnrc.navy.mil/ and should be reviewed thoroughly by commands prior to HARP, OHARP or SEMINAR submission. The webpage provides topic-specific information such as: (1) An overview of the programs. (2) Where to find the forms for program participation and submission. b.

REF E IS COMNAVRESFORINST 3060.7D// RMKS/1. Purpose. This ALNAVRESFOR directs members, identified in paragraph 5, assigned to Navy Reserve Centers (NRCs) at all Navy Reserve Region Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) to participate in the Navy Reserve Mobilization-to-Billet Exercise (M2BX) starting 25APR2022 and ending 30MAY2022 in accordance with the mobilization exercise planning guidance and timeline of reference (a). 2. Background. In 2021, Commander, Navy Reserve Force planned, executed, and completed three mobilization exercises (MOBEXs) to develop, test, and evaluate distributed activation (DA) and distributed deactivation (DDA) processes. In September 2021, a new construct for mobilization named Adaptive Mobilization (AM) was conceptually approved by the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) and the Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR). AM was designed to satisfy both steady-state and mass activation requirements and encompasses all processes of DA, distributed mobilization (DM), distributed de-mobilization (DDM), and DDA. The AM construct was announced via reference (b). The forces must continue to execute and leverage readiness improvement initiatives directed in references (c) and (d). FY22 MOBEXs are designed to evaluate the progress to drive readiness across the force as well as develop and improve AM processes. M2BX is the second exercise in the series for FY22. 3. Commander's Intent. Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) executes AM to mobilize designated personnel for both (1) mass activation in support of long-term strategic competition as well as (2) steady-state and emergent ad hoc augmentation. Exercises evaluate and improve mobilization processes and readiness for strategic competition. To that end, Mass Activation Exercises (MAX), Mobilization-to-Billet Exercise (M2BX), integration into a Fleet Exercise (FLTX) and planning for Navy Reserve participation in Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 2023 were directed in reference (a). 4. Execute. CNRFC will execute M2BX with all members identified in paragraph 5, and their associated REDCOMs and NRCs (TRUIC). A. Unit members identified in this message will complete mobilization requirements in coordination with their NRC. In-person activation at the NRC is at the direction of the REDCOM and NRC. REDCOMs and NRCs may elect to perform virtual activation if appropriate. B. Simulations and clarifications (1) NRCs are directed to execute all normal mobilization processes and procedures while conducting M2BX. No items should be simulated unless otherwise directed herein. (2) Individual mobilization status (IMS) codes (R##, RC1, RC2, etc) will not be entered in NSIPS. IMS code changes associated with M2BX will be simulated. (3) Orders for M2BX will not be available in the Navy and Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (NMCMPS). Members will simulate obtaining orders from NMCMPS by downloading an orders/instruction template in the required documents section of the CNRFC N15 Distributed Activation SharePoint Portal. https://private. navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/N-Codes/N1/covid/Pages/default.aspx (CAC required). (4) If a member meets the requirements for mobilization cancellation per Reference (e), the NRC will submit a cancellation request with all required information to CNRFC N35 via their REDCOM using the CNRFC N35 Mobilization Cancellation Request Portal. https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/N-Codes/N3/ mobilizationportal/mobcanx/Pages/Home.aspx (CAC required). The cancellation request will include language to identify that this cancellation is for the M2BX (i.e. M2BX - EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE - M2BX). (5) The following NAVPERS 1300/22 checklist clarifications are provided: a. Section 2, Part 1.l: Simulate selecting "IA Option" in PRIMS. b. Section 2, Part 1.o: PRD extensions will not be granted for M2BX. NRC communications with NAVRESFORCOM (N12) will include language to identify that the request is part of an exercise. (i.e. M2BX - EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE - M2BX). c. Section 2, Part 1.q: Per COMNAVRESFORNOTE 3060, deployment readiness training (DRT) is required of all SELRES every 3 years. Participants not in compliance will coordinate with their NRA to attend the next available training to ensure that the highest levels of mobilization readiness are maintained. d. Section 2, Part 1.r: Simulate CCC or transition officer (TO) uploading DD eForm 2648 to DMDC. All other portions of this step will be completed. C. NRCs and participating unit members will find the required documents (including exercise orders) on the CNRFC N15 Distributed Activation SharePoint Portal (link provided in paragraph 4.B.(3) above). After selecting the appropriate "mob workflow," members will find required documents under the appropriate tab. Pay packet documents are expected to be 100% complete and accurate prior to submission. NAVPERS 1300/22 Expeditionary Screening Checklist (Section 1 & 2) and the NAVMED 1300/4 Expeditionary Medical and Dental Screening as well as any associated key supporting documentation shall be completed. Do not simulate completion of any checklist items unless delineated in paragraph 4.B. above. D. Reporting (1) NRCs are directed to provide the following items in daily summary reports to their ISIC by 0900 Monday - Friday: a. Number of M2BX members simulated RC1: NRC verbal contact with identified member b. Number of M2BX members simulated RC2: Member medical screening complete c. Number of M2BX members simulated RC3: Member departed NRC d. Number of M2BX members processing at Home e. Number of M2BX members processing at NRA f. Number of M2BX members processing at REDCOM g. Number of M2BS members processing at ECRC (2) REDCOMs will consolidate reports from their NRCs and submit a consolidated report to the CNRF Crisis Action Team (CAT) Chief, CDR Joshua Strubeck, joshua.r.strubeck2.mil(at)us.navy.mil by 1300 Monday - Friday. E. NRCs will report NAVPERS 1300/22 and NAVMED 1300/4 checklist items that were not able to be completed to their REDCOM via after action report (AAR). NRCs will aggregate data and report shortfalls (i.e. 12 members do not have a GTCC, 15 members require an official passport for their mob-to-billet ultimate duty station but do not possess one, 10 members require an audiogram, etc.) in their AAR. The AAR is intended to consolidate issues or shortfalls NRCs are experiencing executing AM processes and include possible solutions to alleviate the issue. F. REDCOMs will use data consolidated from their NRCs AARs and submit ECH IV AARs to CNRFC by close of business 15 Jun 2022. A scorecard template and AAR template is posted on CNRFC N15 Distributed Activation SharePoint Portal (link provided in paragraph 4.B.(3) above) as a tool for NRCs to use to aggregate uncompleted checklist item data in support of AAR generation. NRC AARs should incorporate constructive feedback about exercise execution from participating SELRES. 5. Admin/Logistics.

The commander of Arleigh-Burke guided-missile destroyer in a legal battle with the Navy over refusing the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds has been temporarily assigned to shore duty, his lawyers say. The service wants to remove the officer from command of the East Coast warship over his stance on the vaccine but was blocked by a Florida federal judge. Navy officials have testified that the ship is “out of commission” and undeployable with the commander in charge.

The Department of the Navy’s first long-range shipbuilding plan in three years proposes multiple fleet procurement schemes for the Navy and forecasts the service decommissioning two Independence-class Littoral Combat Ships in the coming years, according to the document. The Fiscal Year 2023 30-year shipbuilding plan, obtained by USNI News, shows the Navy decommissioning two Independence-class LCS – USS Jackson (LCS-6) and USS Montgomery (LCS-8) – in FY 2024. Jackson entered the fleet in 2015, while Montgomery was commissioned in 2016. Both ships were built by Austal USA.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs has unveiled its Equity Action Plan, which the agency said would remove hurdles for marginalized veterans to access health care, benefits and services. “The department’s mission is to ensure equity and access for all those who served their country in uniform, and the Equity Action Plan is a natural extension of that mission,” VA Secretary Denis McDonough said in a prepared statement. “We have efforts underway to change policies, processes and procedures, as well as identify infrastructure and data enhancements to enable access to all veterans, including underserved veterans.”

(Tribune News Service) — In South Florida, surprise visitors can crawl on their bellies. And wear out their welcome. Naval Air Station Key West had to remove a stubborn crocodile from its airfield on Boca Chica Key recently. The croc was photographed basking in the spring sunshine with a Super Hornet fighter jet in the background. “This airfield resident was soaking up some sun on one of our runways recently and didn’t want to budge,” NAS wrote in a Facebook post Monday.

Navy personnel officials announced timelines, eligibility details and guidance for the Fiscal Year 2023 active-duty and Reserve Chief Petty Officer Selection Boards. These details and much more were released in NAVADMIN 072/22 on March 18. Putting on the anchors of a Chief Petty Officer and joining the Mess is a pivotal moment in any Sailor’s life. Navy personnel officials recommended reading the message in its entirety to ensure each board evaluates all eligible Sailors. The Reserve Component (RC) Board, which considers those in the Selected Reserve (SELRES), mobilized Individual Ready Reserve and Canvasser Recruiter Sailors (Cycle 110) convenes June 6 and adjourns June 24. The Active Duty (AC) Board which also considers those from the Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR) (Cycle 254) convenes July 5 and adjourns July 29. Key dates before that are: Feb. 28: Individual augmentation evaluations used for time-in-rate (TIR) waivers must have an ending date by this date and must be available to the board. May 6: RC candidates changing ratings must be in their new ratings before this date to be considered in that rating by the board. May 23: Letter to the board (LTB) deadline for the RC E-7 selection board. The Active Component (AC) (Cycle 254) board convenes July 5 and adjourns July 29.

The Navy Reservist (TNR) - April edition

A new software program that tracks Navy sailors’ physical fitness tests arrived just in time for this year’s testing season, according to the Navy. A delayed software delivery pushed the Physical Readiness Information Management System 2, or PRIMS-2, rollout into April, the month the new physical fitness testing season began, according to a spokeswoman for the Navy Personnel Command.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Vice Adm. John B. Mustin, Chief of Navy Reserve and Commander, Navy Reserve Force, launched i3 Waypoints on April 13, 2022, to fast-track transformative ideas from across the U.S. Navy to the highest levels of the Navy Reserve, without filters, administrative friction or bureaucratic barriers. i3 Waypoints is an approach to inventing: Innovate something entirely new; improve on something already established; or integrate several ideas, products or processes rendering the former completely obsolete. The Navy Reserve is aggressively transforming and modernizing, pivoting from two decades of land-based, non-maritime contributions, to instead laser-focus on warfighting readiness to address today’s security environment and strategic competition in a maritime domain. This transformation includes across the board changes, from shifting capabilities and capacity to critical strategic needs, to our approach to warfighting and mobilization readiness, our force mobilization processes and day-to-day operational and administrative processes. Sailors and civilians, who are on the front lines of challenges and roadblocks in their daily lives, are invaluable sources of ideas for change. i3 Waypoints challenges the entire Navy – from Selected Reserve, Training and Administration of the Reserve, Individual Ready Reserve, Active Duty and government civilians, in all ranks, rates and grades – to propose new or better ways for the Navy Reserve to operate. All submissions will go directly to an initial review panel, which will select finalists to present their ideas to a panel of senior Navy Reserve, policy and industry leaders, including Mustin and Navy Reserve Force Master Chief Tracy L. Hunt. The presentations will be videotaped at Defense Media Activity at Ft. Meade, Md,. on June 28, 2022, and subsequently broadcast. The process to submit your transformative ideas is simple: Visit the i3 Waypoints CAC-enabled portal at https://flankspeed.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/I3Waypoints/SitePages/i3_home.aspx to read more information, review the terms and conditions, and submit your ideas. The portal will accept ideas from April 13 through May 22, 2022. NOTE: You may be prompted to login in using your Flank Speed credentials. One winner will be selected, although several ideas may be implemented.

The Navy separated 41 sailors over the past week, as the sea service continues to move toward a fully vaccinated operational force. The Navy has so far separated 804 sailors; the vast majority of them were active-duty. In the past week, 39 active-duty sailors were separated, bringing the total to 753, not including the 22 sailors separated in their first 180 days. Two reservists were also separated in the past week, which brings the total number of reservists separated to 27.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – A quartet of logistics drones capable of carrying up to 50-pound payloads will embark on a U.S. aircraft carrier later this year to see if the unmanned aerial vehicles are practical at sea. The test, led by the experimentation and prototyping division at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), is a response to Military Sealift Command and Naval Air Forces Atlantic seeking a faster way to send critical parts to warships underway.

This NAVADMIN promulgates the Navy Security Force (NSF) Qualification Program and the release of reference (a), which establishes the qualification requirements and designation procedures for Navy Security Forces in accordance with reference (b). 2. The NSF Qualification Program design follows proven existing models which build on technical and tactical professional knowledge required to succeed in the kinetic environment. The program allows for the development of NSF proficiency at their respective apprentice, journeyman and master skills levels by providing personnel a career training continuum considered foundational in revolutionizing NSF readiness. The program directly supports unit training and formal certification processes within the respective operational demands of the security force enterprise, Fleet wide. The NSF Qualification Program and insignia(s) will signify and serve as a force development program designed to unify standards across all NSF mission areas. The NSF Qualification Program is an extension of the Ready Relevant Learning process focused on force training and development efforts to improve individual skill progression, and supports advancement and selection milestones in achieving NSF professionalization. 3. Per reference (a), the NSF Qualification Program is open to all Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) rated Master-at-Arms (MA) and 649X/749X designated NSF Officers (NSFO) who meet the eligibility requirements. To ensure standardized execution between AC and RC, the NSF Qualification Program and all processes therein will be administered by the AC NSF and under the AC commanding officers authority. As such, RC MAs and NSFOs not assigned to Navy Reserve NSF units in support of AC NSF units are ineligible to complete or receive NSF qualification. 4.

Upon award of the letter of designation, the NSFO or MA will be entitled to wear the appropriate NSF insignia when made available through NEXCOM. Wear of NSF Qualification insignia will be in accordance with reference (c) for qualification insignia. A future update of reference (c) will include appropriate mention and illustrations of the new insignias. 6.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy would not buy more ships if it were given more money in fiscal 2023. The Navy often uses its so-called unfunded priorities list sent to Congress to ask for another destroyer or connector vessel. But the service is standing firm in its belief that it doesn’t want a fleet any larger than what it can afford to keep ready — having enough sailors, funding for training, dollars and shipyard capacity for maintenance and modernization work, munitions to fill missile launchers, spares to fill stock rooms, and more.
