SEOUL, South Korea — The number of coronavirus cases affiliated with U.S. Forces Korea soared to 111, with 12 more troops and a dependent testing positive after traveling from the United States to South Korea over the past two weeks, the military said Wednesday. The increase reflected a surge in infections in the United States. USFK has insisted the arrivals pose no risk to local communities because they are tightly controlled with a strict testing and two-week quarantine process. https://www.stripes.com/news/number-of-coronavirus-cases-linked-to-us-forces-korea-soars-to-111-with-new-arrivals-1.638381 Stars and Stripes is making stories on the coronavirus pandemic available free of charge.

Reference (b) is Under Secretary of the Navy Memorandum Subj: Public Display or Depiction of Flags in the Department of the Navy. RMKS/1. In references (a) and (b), the Secretary of Defense and Under Secretary of the Navy state that our number one mission is to provide combat- ready naval forces able to deter conflict or, if necessary, prevail in combat. In order to ensure our forces are ready, these references highlight the importance of unit cohesion and note that flags are powerful symbols. The flags we fly must accord with the military imperatives of good order and discipline, treating all our people with dignity and respect, and rejecting divisive symbols. Paragraph 2 below quotes reference (a). 2. Consequently, in addition to the American flag, Service members and civilian employees are authorized to display or depict representational flags that promote unity and esprit de corps, including: a. Flags of U.S. States and Territories and the District of Columbia; b. Military Service flags; c. Flag or General Officer flags; d. Presidentially- appointed, Senate-confirmed civilian flags; e. Senior Executive Service (SES) and Military Department-specific SES flags; f. The POW/MIA flag; g. Flags of other countries, for which the United States is an ally or partner, or for official protocol purposes; h. Flags of organizations in which the United States is a member (e.g., NATO) i. Ceremonial, command, unit, or branch flags or guidons. This guidance applies to public displays or depictions of flags by Service members and civilian employees in all Department of Defense work places, common access areas, and public areas, including, but not limited to: a. Office buildings, facilities, naval vessels, aircraft, government vehicles, hangars, garages, ready rooms, conference rooms, individual offices, cubicles, storage rooms, tool and equipment rooms, workshops, break rooms, kitchens /galleys, recreational areas, commissaries, Navy and Marine Corps and Army and Air Force exchanges, and heads/latrines/restrooms - including property and buildings off installation leased by the Department; b. Sensitive compartmented information facilities and other secure facilities; c. Open-bay barracks, berthing areas, and common areas of barracks and bachelor quarters; d. School houses and training facilities; e. All spaces or items in public or plain view, such as the outside areas of any Department of Defense buildings and government-operated or public-private venture housing (e.g., parking lots, yards, gazebos, or porches). 3. I expect all Commanders to exercise their authority in a way that maintains unit cohesion and good order and discipline, while respecting the rights of Sailors and civilian employees. To aid Commanders in balancing these considerations as they implement the references, Commanders should consult a judge advocate or legal counsel. 4.

Anna Carter began to feel tired last week. The 13-year-old had attended two days of socially distanced dance classes, and thought she’d just overdone it. Her muscles were sore, so her parents encouraged her to stay home and rest. For the past three years, Anna had battled scleroderma, an autoimmune rheumatic disease, which occasionally left her feeling this way, said Amber Carter, her mother. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/it-happened-so-quick-recalls-mother-of-fort-sill-teen-who-died-from-coronavirus-1.637822 Stars and Stripes is making stories on the coronavirus pandemic available free of charge.

REF D IS NAVADMIN 150/20, SEPTEMBER 2020 (CYCLE 248) NAVY-WIDE ADVANCEMENT EXAMINATIONS FOR ACTIVE-DUTY AND FULL-TIME SUPPORT PETTY OFFICERS (E-4 THROUGH E-6). RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) through (c) and announces updated business rules for the Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE). 2. As part of Sailor 2025 and Rating Modernization efforts, the PMK-EE provides greater emphasis on professional military knowledge and separates it from rating knowledge examinations. PMK-EE serves as an eligibility requirement to take the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) for advancement to paygrades E-4 through E-7 or if taking the NWAE for participation in the limited duty officer program. 3. PMK-EE completion is also required for Prior Service Reenlistment Eligibility Reserve candidates taking the NWAE in order to advance to the next-higher paygrade. Sailors who are taking the NWAE in their current paygrade in order to lateral transfer or make their rate permanent in the current paygrade will not need to complete the PMK-EE. Sailors who are competing for advancement through a program (i.e. the Meritorious Advancement Program) that does not require them to take the NWAE to advance must successfully complete PMK-EE for the next-higher paygrade prior to advancing. 4. The enlisted advancement worksheet (EAW) routing and processing requires additional time for Educational Services Officers to finalize advancement candidate worksheets, resulting in required changes to PMK-EE completion due dates. Starting with cycle 248 (September 2020) for active-duty (AD) and full-time support (FTS) advancement candidates and (in line with reference (d)), cycle 108 (February 2021) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) advancement candidates, the following PMK-EE completion dates are required for each annual NWAE cycle administration: a. January AD/FTS E7 NWAE cycle prior to 1 December of the previous year. b. February SELRES E-4/5/6/7 NWAE cycle prior to 1 January of the same year. c. March AD/FTS E-4/5/6 NWAE cycle prior to 1 February of the same year. d. August SELRES E-4/5/6 NWAE cycle prior to 1 July of the same year. e. September AD/FTS E-4/5/6 NWAE cycle - prior to 1 August of the same year. 5. Sailors completing the PMK-EE, especially when using the mobile application, are advised to complete the following actions: a. Ensure that the completion certificate indicates a score of 80 percent or higher, and that the completion date on the certificate meets the requirements stated in paragraph 4. b. Save a digital copy of the PDF completion certificate to a file on the mobile device or computer. c. E-mail a digital copy of the PDF completion certificate to an alternate location that is not on the mobile device. d. Print a paper copy of the PDF completion certificate for personal files. e. Store the digital and/or paper copy of the completion certificate in a location where it can be recovered if mobile device data is lost. f. Ensure that the completion information is recorded in the Navy Training Management and Planning System (NTMPS)/Electronic Training Jacket (Note: Allow 4 days after submission for completion information to be updated in NTMPS.). If information is not updated, the Sailor should provide a copy of the PMK-EE completion certificate to the chain of command. The chain of command is responsible for contacting NTMPS at https://ntmpsweb.ncdc.navy.mil/Fltmps/ to coordinate data entry of completion information. g. Ensure all completion data is available at an alternate site prior to deleting the mobile application. Once the mobile application is deleted from the Sailors mobile device the completion information stored within the application is also deleted and cannot be recovered or viewed by downloading the mobile application again. 6. If the EAW of a Sailor is not automatically populated with the required PMK-EE completion information, the NTMPS information can be referenced and entered into EAW to document individual Sailor eligibility for advancement. If completion information is available in NTMPS there is no requirement for a Sailor to produce a paper completion certificate or for an electronic copy of the completion certificate to be uploaded into EAW. 7. For additional information about PMK-EE, go to the MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://my.navy.mil select Career and Life Events, Advancement and Promotion page, then scroll down and click on the PMK-EE link. There you can download PMK-EE Smart Sheet detailed supplemental guidance. 8.

Interesting tidbit here folks...

(Unofficial) NPC recognizes a potential problem with E6 Evals and E7/E8 Chief Eval timing this year and we have proposed a solution that will hit CNP’s desk soon. I anticipate we will release guidance similar to the language below via NAVADMIN. Solution Summary: To prevent inconsistent reporting and to ensure we remove this year’s CPO, SCPO, and MCPO Selectees from their previous competitive groups, we intend to communicate the following guidance: “Reporting Seniors will conduct normal E6 periodic evaluations after the E7 advancement results are released and will submit these E6 periodic evaluations to NPC not later than 15 Dec 20. The end of the reporting period will remain 15-Nov-20 for normal periodic evaluations.” “Sailors selected for advancement to E7 should receive an E6 closeout evaluation dated 15-SEP-20. This applies to Sailors frocked or advanced to E7 and applies to both active and reserve component sailors.” “Reporting Seniors will conduct normal periodic E7 and E8 CHIEF EVALS after the release of the E8 and E9 advancement results and submit to NPC not later than 15-OCT-20. For normal periodic CHIEF EVALS, the end of reporting period for E7s and E8s will remain 15-SEP-20.” This doesn’t change the periods of report & it allows last year’s top performers to advance out of their competitive groups, and allows E6 closeout evals (15 SEP) to occur before the 1st increment of E7 promotions (16 SEP). It also prevents similar confusion on the E7 & E8 Chief Eval due dates. The 15 Dec deadline ensures we have E6 Evals (non-Selects) submitted in time to populate PMAs for the E7 exam in Jan 2021. It is important to maintain the periods of report for the automated systems that process 10’s of thousands of periodic evals each cycle. Advancement Increments: Advancement increments and TIR dates for all paygrades will maintain historic timelines and dates. Where applicable, Sailors who are selected to a new grade and advanced first increment, may receive back-pay and back-dated date of rate. NPC (Unofficial)

REF B IS NAVADMIN 100/20, NAVY GUIDANCE ON THE USE OF FACE COVERINGS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN reiterates the face covering policies promulgated in references (a) and (b) and provides service specific wear guidance for Sailors in uniform. While the Navy is considering whether face coverings should be a formal uniform item governed by uniform regulations, at present, they are considered personal protective equipment (PPE) and while in uniform, face coverings will comply with the guidance provided in this NAVADMIN. 2. Background. Reference (a) requires personnel on Department of Defense (DoD) property, installations and facilities to wear cloth face coverings when social distancing of 6 feet cannot be maintained. As one of several COVID-19 protective measures, initial face covering guidance facilitated immediate wear of face coverings that were conservative in appearance, not offensive and conformed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance outlined in reference (b). Maximum flexibility permitted the procurement or production of face coverings through multiple sources, designs, colors and durability to ensure Commanders could rapidly field face coverings to their personnel. Procurement, design and wear guidance was less defined pending the availability of more durable and conservative designed government procured face coverings. 3. Face Coverings in Uniform. Face coverings are issued to all new accessions at the beginning of accession training and to ensure their ability to facilitate required COVID-19 mitigation efforts while enroute to their next duty station. Commands are authorized to procure and issue face coverings to assigned personnel and when worn with Navy uniforms all face coverings will conform to the guidance promulgated by the CDC in line with reference (a). The following additional guidelines also apply. Face coverings will: a. Fit snugly and comfortably on the face for prolonged wear. b. Cover the chin and extend over the bridge of the nose. c. Not impede the wearing of eyeglasses nor result in fogging of the glass lens. d. Be conservative in appearance, non-offensive and will not bring discredit upon the wearer or the Navy. e. Be of a plain neutral color (black, brown, tan, white, grey, green, blue) or matching camouflage pattern when wearing camouflage uniforms only. No lettering/wording, logos, symbols, prints or patterns other than matching camouflage uniform pattern are authorized. f. Contain fastening devices that are neutral in color and made of elastic, cord or string and loop or tie around the back of the ears or back of the head (barrel lock devices are also authorized when not affected by safety or foreign object debris restrictions). g. Constructed of at least two layers of cloth fabric material (single- layer face covering provided by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Navy Exchange (NEXCOM) are acceptable). Use caution to ensure multi-layer fabric face coverings facilitate ease of breathing without restriction during dry, humid and rainy conditions. 4. Procurement. Individually made or individual purchase of commercial face coverings is authorized provided they meet CDC and the above stated guidelines. Commands/units may procure face coverings via DLA or open purchase if DLA procured face coverings do not meet mission requirements. Face covering purchases may also be facilitated via the NEXCOM for individual and bulk orders. Order DLA face coverings through FedMall or via standard requisitioning procedures. The following National Stock Numbers (NSN) have been assigned: Blue 8415-01-687-5301/687-5532 Green 8415-01-687-5530/687-5541/688-9516 Black 8415-01-687-5332/687-7080/688-9494 Grey 8415-01-687-5333/687-5812 Tan 8415-01-687-5335 Brown 8415-01-687-7077 White 8415-01-687-5326/687-5539 White 8415-01-687-7644 (NSN will come with 500 per case) 5.

The NWU Type III wear is prohibited inside the Pentagon, the Pentagon Library and Conference Center (PLC2), the National Mall area bounded by Capitol Hill and surrounding Senate and House Staff offices, the White House and Executive Office building, Department of State and all monuments and memorials, unless specifically authorized for a Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) mission. Additionally, the NWU Type III is prohibited from being worn off Department of Defense (DoD) installations and facilities before, during or after the workday, for routine stops or to conduct business. Stops off DoD bases or installations, while in the NWU Type III, are authorized for emergency reasons only. The NWU Type III may be worn as the alternate uniform of the day per commanding officer or officer-in- charge permission on DoD installations, commands and facilities within the NCR other than the restricted areas established above. Personnel authorized to wear the NWU Type III as the alternate uniform of the day may travel to and from home and work in privately owned vehicles or government conveyance while wearing the uniform. b. Navy Flight Suit. Navy Flight Suit wear restrictions in the NCR will align with the NWU Type III. Traveling to and from home and work while wearing the Navy Flight Suit in privately owned vehicles or government conveyance is authorized. c. Wear of the NWU Type III and Navy Flight Suit in the Pentagon and PLC2 is authorized for Navy personnel performing watch standing in the National Military Command Center (NMCC), Navy Operations Center (NOC) and DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic (DTHC). 3.

In areas where in- person CACO notification or continuing contact has not been authorized by the applicable CNIC REGCOM, the use of alternative beneficiary contact methods (e.g., phone, e-mail, express mail) will be pursued to enable timely benefits processing. 4. Dignified Transfer (DT). Family travel to witness a DT at Dover Air Base remains temporarily suspended until DoD travel restrictions are lifted. The exception approval authority for family travel is DCNP and exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. To preserve the DoD medical examiner system and mortuary operations, attendance at DTs by Service Members and other participants, including those persons who would serve to escort the remains, must comply with reference (a). To minimize risk of exposure, unit member participation is highly discouraged. Additionally, the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations (AFMAO) Commander or Deputy, or on-call general/flag officer will officiate the DT, and the carry team will be provided by AFMAO. 5. Escorting Remains of Service Members and Civilian Employees. When remains are being transported by military air or military- contract air, aircraft commanders will serve as the sole official escort. Exceptions to allow others to act as an escort of remains to include transport by commercial airline may be approved by DCNP. Exception requests must take into consideration all receiving and originating location restrictions as well as airline restrictions. Applicable CNIC regional casualty offices in coordination with Navy Casualty Affairs (PERS-00C) will continue to assign a departure escort to travel with remains to the departure airport and a receiving escort to travel with remains from the arrival airport to the receiving funeral home or place of final disposition, unless the CNIC REGCOM assesses that the health and safety risk in the affected location(s) precludes the ability of an escort to support the mission. CNIC will normally utilize an assigned CACO to perform escort duties in order to limit the number of people to whom the PNOK may be exposed. CNIC REGCOM approval is required for assignment of escorts other than the CACO, or for any escort mission requiring ground travel outside of the local area of the escort. 6. Funeral Travel. Funded family travel to funerals remains temporarily suspended until DoD travel restrictions are lifted. The exception authority for family travel is DCNP and exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. With the delay of funeral travel, expenses for the sheltering of remains will continue to be covered as a primary expense and will not count against reimbursable allowances. Eligible travelers who self-fund travel will be reimbursed within the authorized limits of the Joint Travel Regulations. 7. Present and past conflict/command memorial service travel. Present and past conflict/command memorial service travel restrictions remain temporarily suspended until DoD travel restriction are lifted. The exception approval authority for family travel is DCNP and exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 8. Waiver requests for non-time critical actions should be endorsed by the first flag officer or Senior Executive Service (SES) in the chain of command and routed to PERS-00C who will coordinate the approval process with the proper decision-making authority. The determination regarding CACO PNOK notification is time-critical and should be made by the appropriate CNIC REGCOM. In all cases where exceptions are granted, Sailors will strictly follow all CDC restrictions and Navy guidance to include avoiding large gatherings, maintaining social distance and wearing PPE. 9. Taking care of our wounded, our Fallen and their families remains a sacred responsibility and we will restore the normal levels of support as soon as the conditions allow. 10. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 11. The points of contact for Navy Casualty Affairs are CDR Jason Eaton, PERS-00C, 901-874-6854 or via e-mail jason.c.eaton(at)navy.mil or Mr. Al Gorski, PERS-00C, 901-874-4559 or via e-mail at alan.gorski(at)navy.mil.

Cool, thanks @PO1(IW/FMF). Anyone else hear anything?

NEWPORT, R.I. (NNS) -- Key changes are coming to the format and enrollment requirements of the U.S. Navy Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA), as detailed in Naval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 191/20 released July 6. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2021, the distance-learning portion of SEA will be three weeks in length and students will no longer need to complete the Primary Professional Military Education (PPME) or Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education (SEJPME) I and II. Additionally, the SEA will begin a stepped-approach to increase annual student throughput from 1,296 to 1,782 senior enlisted leaders. "The process for implementing these changes will be seamless to the Fleet, other than senior enlisted leaders having a better opportunity to attend," said Command Master Chief Jason Avin, SEA director. "The online portion will be shorter, redundancy will be removed, and the three week in-residence portion will remain the cornerstone of the educational and networking experience." "Streamlining distance learning and eliminating pre-requisites were necessary steps in removing barriers for attendance," said Avin. "Keeping in line with the Navy’s culture of excellence, we also used the opportunity to conduct a thorough review of curriculum to ensure the SEA continues to provide students with the most relevant and up-to-date tools the fleet needs for senior enlisted leaders to be successful." According to Senior Chief Quartermaster Henry Nicol, a faculty advisor at SEA, the curriculum is also being changed to help alleviate stress the former seven-week distance learning period had on students. "The SEA used fleet input, staff feedback, and student and alumni surveys to develop the next iteration of the Senior Enlisted Academy,” said Nicol. “Based on that feedback, the SEA reached out to the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) and our Board of Advisors to provide our recommendations of what we would like senior enlisted leaders to be educated on. The entire staff at SEA is involved in reimaging the curriculum to the most up to date readings, and to adjust the flow of topics to be in line with the feedback from the MCPON's leadership mess." Avin goes on to commend the work that the SEA staff is doing to develop the new course. "They have reached across domains, across services, into the civilian sector and even internationally to develop the most relevant and challenging educational experience possible for our future students," said Avin. "I am very proud of this team, and we are all excited to deliver the new curriculum to the chief’s mess and senior enlisted leaders across the globe." For additional information, contact the SEA course director, at coursedirector.sea@usnwc.edu, (401) 841-4944, or the SEA lead faculty advisor, at LFA.sea@usnwc.edu, (401) 841-4471. The SEA is a leader development program for active and reserve senior enlisted leaders from the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and National Guard, as well as from our international service partners, for increased leadership and career advancement. SEA focuses on management, leadership, national security and physical fitness.

Yeah what's the scoop? I keep getting asked!
