This NAVADMIN provides an update to temporary guidance for Navy personnel who require Common Access Card (CAC) and Uniformed Services Identification (USID) Card services during the COVID-19 emergency in accordance with references (a) through (d). This NAVADMIN cancels references (e) and (f) and implements references (g) and (h). 2. In accordance with reference (f), the option of using expired CACs for physical access to military installations ends effective 30 September 2020. In addition, CAC-Identification (ID) certificates will not be extended past 30 September 2020. All CAC holders who have an expired CAC will need to report to the nearest identification card issuing facility as soon as possible to obtain a new CAC and certificates. Acceptance of an expired USID card (held by retirees and dependents) for access to DoD installations remains in effect until 30 March 2021 or until reference (f) is cancelled. 3. DoD personnel should contact the nearest identification card issuing facility to schedule an available time to have their CAC reissued. The ID card facility will accommodate both telephone and online appointment requests. a. Starting 14 September 2020, Navy ID card facilities will be offering extended hours of operation and more walk-in time availability. In addition, the following sites will be open for appointments on Saturday through 30 September 2020: NAVBASE San Diego, CA, NAVSTA Mayport, FL, NAS Jacksonville, FL, NTC Great Lakes, Norfolk Main Navy Exchange, Norfolk, VA and NAS Whidbey Island Seaplane Base, WA. b. ID card site personnel will contact all those who have appointments for the month of September to verify the appointment is for CAC issuance. If the appointment is for a USID card, the appointment will be rescheduled after 1 October 2020. c. Customers will be screened upon reporting to the ID card facility to ensure that service is needed for the CAC holder. All USID cardholders with the exception of emergent issues (lost/stolen/initial issuance) will be rescheduled for an appointment at a later date. d. Personnel are encouraged to contact the ID card site directly prior to arriving at the site as a walk-in. This will enable the site to book appropriate time slots for CAC reissuance. Personnel can obtain the contact phone number for the site at https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/. e. Commands are requested to assist in emphasizing that only those with an expired CAC request an appointment until the end of September to prioritize the necessary work at the ID card sites. 4. The following additional policy changes are authorized until 30 June 2021: a. If the affiliation of a cardholder with their service has not changed (i.e. they are still entitled to benefits), USID cards which expired on or after 1 January 2020 are authorized for continued benefits use (e.g. commissary, exchange) through 30 June 2021. b. The minimum age of USID card initial issuance is increased from 10 years to 14 years. c. Continued use of the Reserve USID card to obtain active-duty benefits is authorized for mobilized Reserve Component members and their eligible dependents. d. Remote Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) enrollment for newly acquired dependents (i.e. spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child) is authorized to provide healthcare coverage. Documentation may be scanned and e-mailed to approved Navy RAPIDS sites for completion of the remote enrollment process. Examples of required documentation are marriage certificate, divorce decree, birth certificate, adoption decree, acknowledgment of paternity and social security card.

Contact MyNavy Career Center at 1-833-330-6622 or via e-mail at askmncc(at)navy.mil for specific documentation requirements and POC information for the above remote enrollment processing sites. e. USID card reissuance via USPS is authorized for Service Members who are unable to secure an appointment at a RAPIDS site. Service Members using this capability must contact the nearest ID card issuing facility prior to submitting documentation to ensure all required documents are provided for their specific circumstances. Location and contact information for the nearest ID card issuance facility can be obtained through https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/. USID cards issued during remote enrollment will not exceed 1 year to allow time for the Service Members to provide original or state certified copies of enrollment documents to the ID card issuing facility. 5. If you or a family member have a dependent or retiree ID card please be aware that your benefits (e.g. medical, dental) will remain in effect as long as your military sponsor is entitled to benefits. For example, the family of a married E-6 with an end of active obligated service date of January 2022 is authorized DOD benefits until that date, regardless of the status of their ID card(s). 6.

REF B IS NAVADMIN 161/16, U.S. NAVY FINANCIAL LITERACY EDUCATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces General Military Training (GMT) requirements for fiscal year (FY) 2021. In line with reference (a), the Navy has minimized the number of mandatory GMT training topics to empower commanders to decide what training their personnel should receive and how often they should receive it. Commanding Officers (CO) should review the Command Discretion GMT list to determine the frequency and method of additional training appropriate for their command. 2. FY-21 Mandatory GMT Requirements a. Mandatory GMT must be completed by all military personnel in the fiscal year. b. The following Mandatory GMT is required to be completed in FY-21: (1) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Awareness. (2) Cyber Awareness Challenge. (3) Counterintelligence Awareness and Reporting. (4) Records Management. (5) Suicide Prevention. c. Personnel with less than 3 years of time-in-service must also complete Antiterrorism Level 1 training annually. For personnel with greater than 3 years of time-in-service, Antiterrorism Level 1 is now a triennial requirement and will be mandated for all hands in FY-22. d. Commands may elect to complete Cyber Awareness Challenge training using instructor-led and/or computer-based methods. e. Privacy Act training is required biennially and will be mandated for all hands in FY-22. f. Combating Trafficking in Persons training is required within 1 year of initial entry of service. g. The recommended method of delivery for SAPR and Suicide Prevention annual training is via face-to-face, small group facilitated discussions. While this remains the most effective lesson delivery method, this NAVADMIN authorizes COs to adapt or modify FY-21 SAPR and Suicide Prevention GMT delivery methods consistent with coronavirus mitigation procedures and operational commitments to meet these training requirements. If in-person, face-to-face delivery is not feasible, the preferred alternative is facilitated small group training via teleconference, Defense Collaboration Services or Commercial Virtual Remote Microsoft Teams. SAPR and Suicide Prevention training is not authorized with non- Department of Defense (DOD) approved collaborative technology (e.g. Facebook, Zoom, etc.). During this pandemic environment, facilitated small group training using approved video conferencing technology is considered *face-to-face,* fully meeting training requirements. Senior Commanders have the authority to issue guidance that is more restrictive to their subordinate commands. 3. FY-21 Command Discretion GMT a. Command Discretion GMT is not required at any specified periodicity, but may have situational requirements (i.e. initial entry, pre-deployment, career milestones, etc.). COs should train their personnel at a time and place that best meets their command and mission needs. b. COs may assign the following topics at their discretion: (1) Alcohol, Drugs and Tobacco Awareness. (2) Combating Trafficking in Persons. (3) Domestic Violence Prevention and Reporting. (4) Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare. (5) Energy Policy. (6) Equal Opportunity, Harassment and Resolution Options. (7) Hazing Policy and Prevention. (8) Operational Risk Management. (9) Operations Security. (10) Personal Financial Management. (11) Sexual Health and Responsibility. (12) Stress Management. (13) Traumatic Brain Injury. (14) Privacy Act. (15) Antiterrorism Level 1. (16) Tactical Combat Casualty Care All Service Member/ Tier 1. c. Financial Management training does not have a mandatory periodicity, but it is required at career touchpoints in line with reference (b). 4. Additional Information a. Detailed requirements for each topic are listed on the GMT webpage and should be reviewed thoroughly by commands prior to assigning training. The webpage provides topic-specific information such as: (1) Instructor and documentation requirements. (2) Training in combined military-civilian sessions. (3) Links to instructor guides and other training products. b. The GMT webpage can be found on the MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/general-skills-training/gmt/. c. Current SAPR and Suicide Prevention training materials are not designed for individual/self-study training and using methods other than facilitated, small group sessions will be challenging. Feedback, lessons learned or recommendations for more effective training delivery is encouraged. Please provide your recommendations or refer any questions to the following points of contact: (1) SAPR training: Ms. Andrea Verdino, N17, andrea.j.verdino@navy.mil. (2) Suicide Prevention training: Ms. Ruth Cassidy, N17, ruth.cassidy@navy.mil. (3) Training policy: CDR Benjamin Amdur, N13M7, benjamin.amdur1@navy.mil. d. All SAPR training materials are For Official Use Only. SAPR training material shall not be loaded onto publically accessible websites (e.g. YouTube, Facebook, etc.). Additionally, the following disclaimer should be added at the beginning of each SAPR training session that is not conducted in person: *We understand that participating in SAPR training can be difficult. If you need advocacy support at any time, please contact the on-call SARC/VA at [please insert contact information for the local Sexual Assault Response Center or Victims Advocate] or the DOD Safe helpline at www.safehelpline.org or 877-995-5247.* 5.

Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) announces MyNavy Assignment, a “detailing marketplace” for all enlisted Sailors, is now available to the Navy Reserve Force. MyNavy Assignment replaces the Career Management System – Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) and delivers a modern interface and user-friendly experience for Reserve Sailors to manage their career. “We’ve listened to what Sailors are asking for an integrated those capabilities into MyNavy Assignment,” said Capt. Claudia Macon, team lead for the MyNavy HR Reserve Transformation initiative at CNRFC. “Sailors can now expect more options, greater career flexibility, and increased transparency when navigating through the detailing process.” The capabilities featured in MyNavy Assignment strengthens the relationship between the Sailor and their Command Career Counselor. Sailors can view eligible jobs, bookmark, apply, communicate with their Command Career Counselor and track the entire process in one location. MyNavy Assignment features a ‘MyResume’ tab and by keeping it updated with previous assignments, skills, qualifications, and education, Sailors can better position themselves for a billet they are interested in filling. The Sailor Application Lifecycle Tracker (SALT) notifies Sailors who need to apply for billets, provides confirmation after a Sailor applies for a billet, displays the release phases of pending orders, and notifies a Sailor when they are selected for orders. If Sailors are not in the window to apply for orders, the SALT tracker will not be available. “The entire process is at your fingertips,” said Master Chief Michelle Lang, Senior Enlisted Leader for Enlisted Assignments at CNRFC. “Sailors are able to market themselves for any billet they’re eligible to fill, and if they aren’t selected, the decision-making process is now accessible for all to see.” During the Command Ranking Phase, Operational Support Officers and unit command leadership make comments and rank the Sailor’s applications for their billets. Sailors are now able to see these comments and if not selected, can use the tools in the ‘MyResume’ tab to fill any gaps in their record for the next application cycle. Additionally, Projected Rotation Date (PRD) modifications are now routed through Unit Command Leadership for their review prior to CNRFC action. MyNavy Assignment also expands the detailing window and provides greater visibility by generating jobs that are closed during an application cycle. This allows Sailors to chart their career path, determine what skill sets are required for desired jobs, and become competitive for those jobs in the future. “This new tool has everything a Sailors needs to ensure they’re hitting their career milestone requirements, but also opens the aperture for new and exciting possibilities,” said Master Chief Eric Dusenbery, Senior Enlisted Leader for the MyNavy HR Reserve Transformation initiative at CNRFC. “I encourage every Sailor to take advantage of this application, build their resume and apply for jobs that will take them to the next level.” MyNavy Assignment is accessible via the ‘Assignment’ link on MyNavy Portal (https://my.navy.mil). Find the link on either the ‘Quick Links’ tab or the Assignment, Leave & Travel (ALT) Career & Life Event (CLE) section. A “What’s New For You” is also available through your Command Career Counselor to help familiarize yourself with the new features and capabilities.

As announced in reference (a), due to the successful implementation of the MAP automation in Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) and Fleet feedback, the time allocated for commands to approve MAP candidates during CY-20 MAP Season Two is reduced from 60 to 45 days, beginning from 1 September through 15 October 2020. 2. MAP will account for approximately 20-percent of total advancements in CY-20 with roughly half of the available quotas allocated for each season. All unused quotas will be factored into the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycle. We are maintaining the two-season framework that aligns the MAP with the NWAE to emphasize the intent of MAP in selecting and rewarding the right Sailors. 3. Commands are required to submit their MAP advancement through NSIPS. Commands without access to NSIPS should submit their meritorious certification letters (MCL) via e-mail to their immediate superior in command (ISIC) as outlined in reference (a). The system will use authoritative data to determine eligibility. However, commands are still required to locally validate that MAP candidates have successfully completed the professional military knowledge eligibility examination (PMK-EE) requirement prior to the first day of the MAP season in accordance with reference (b). 4.

The Navy has cancelled fall E-4 advancement exams for active, full-time support and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors and instead will rank order advancement-eligible E-3 Sailors to limit possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus. It's the same method used successfully for this past spring’s active and reserve full-time support E-4 advancements. The only change for the fall cycle will be the addition of SELRES candidates. The Navy has cancelled fall E-4 advancement exams for active, full-time support and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors and instead will rank order advancement-eligible E-3 Sailors to limit possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus. It's the same method used successfully for this past spring’s active and reserve full-time support E-4 advancements. The only change for the fall cycle will be the addition of SELRES candidates. The cancellation was announced in NAVADMIN 222/20 Aug. 7 and impacts all E-4 exams scheduled to be given as part of the Active Duty (AD) and Full Time Support (FTS) Cycle 248 as well as the Selected Reserve (SELRES) Cycle 107, both were originally scheduled for September. The only exception will be those E-4 SELRES in the Prior Service Reenlistment Eligibility – Reserve (PRISE-R) program who will still take exams in order to make their rates permanent. All other eligible E-3 Sailors will be ranked for advancement using an alternative Final Multiple Score (FMS) rank-order method without inclusion of the exam score from a proctored exam. The message also outlined the Navy's plans for administering September's E-5 and E-6 exams on a staggered schedule throughout September as a further precaution against spreading the virus. "The Navy’s advancement team, in coordination with fleet leadership, has developed policy in this naval administrative message to ensure the safety of our Sailors during the COVID-19 outbreak, while still ensuring that all the Sailors we advance have the proficiency, expertise and demonstrated capability to lead at the next level," Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, Jr., said. Using this method to determine who advances, he said, maintains “the high standards and culture of learning that drive our enlisted advancement system.” This means that because the Naval Education Training and Professional Development Center (NETPDC) will not receive E-4 exam answer sheets, it is essential that commands scrub the records of their advancement eligible Sailors to ensure every E-4 Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAWs) in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) is accurate and up to date. For active-duty and FTS Cycle 248, commands will have until Sept. 25 to finalize worksheets. Selected Reserve Cycle 107 E-4 EAWs must be completed by Sept. 30. The plan for active and FTS E-5 and E-6 exams is to administer them in separate testing windows throughout September. E-6 exams will happen between Sept. 1-16, with E-5 exams being administered Sept. 17-30. Selected Reserve E-5 and E-6 as well as the E-4 PRISE-R exams will be given between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31. Every effort should be made to spread the administration of the exams evenly throughout each window in order to minimize the number of exam-takers at each administration as well as allowing for maximum physical distancing. Commands are also strongly encouraged to test all candidates for a given rating on the same day to maintain exam integrity. Once exams are given, ESOs are encouraged to expeditiously mail in answer sheet packages to NETPDC and not hold any taken exams until the end of the testing window. This will ensure exams are processed and results are released in a timely manner. The results are anticipated to be released sometime in November 2020. However, the message said this is heavily dependent on accurate worksheets being submitted up front and prompt returning of answer sheets once exams are taken. Direct any questions to the points of contact listed in NAVADMIN 222/20

An update to the Professional Military Knowledge-Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) mobile application, released Aug. 5, improved functionality for Sailors and upgraded content to match current Navy standards and requirements. Available via the Navy App Locker, version 2.7.3 of the mobile app includes the following updates: - Exam questions and content for all pay grades - Study materials for all pay grades - Preserves the Sailor’s completed progress - Corrected code based issues related to the app upgrade - Improved course completion workflow In March 2020, the Navy Advancement Center (NAC) conducted a PMK-EE Advancement Examination Readiness Review (AERR) in Pensacola to review and update exam questions and bibliographies. “We gathered Fleet Subject Matter Experts (FSMEs) from across the Navy to ensure that rating advancement and promotion eligibility exams were valid and that the bank item content was current, relevant, and correct,” said NAC PMK-EE Team Leader Doc Wallach, Ph.D. Numerous references were also updated to match current policy, programs, standards and recent modernizations to Navy systems and processes. “PMK-EE is now more current, relevant, valid, and incorporates Sailor 2025 initiatives,” said Wallach. In addition to the content update, Sailors will see increased functionality with version 2.7.3. “Sailors will find the improved app to be more user-friendly,” said Wallach. “It will also save progress as Sailors complete each module and provide completion certificates directly to the Sailor’s records.” It is recommended that Sailors continue to save their completion certificates electronically as a backup, said Wallach. In order for Sailors to get the latest version of the PMK-EE mobile app, Sailors must download the update onto their mobile device. “It’s important to note that current course completions will not be affected, and Sailors will not need to repeat already completed courses now that the new content is released,” said Wallach. “That said, if they are in the middle of a module and have not yet completed it, say 15 out of 20 questions, it will not save that progress in the new version of the app.” PMK-EE still consists of 100 questions spread across five sections: Career Information, Leadership and Character, Naval Heritage, Professionalism, and Warfighting and Readiness. “Sailors must take and pass the exam once per pay grade in order to advance to the next-higher pay grade,” said Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Command Master Chief Gregory Prichard. “Failure to complete the PMK-EE by the established deadline will result in the Sailor being ineligible to advance.” The current advancement eligibility deadlines for PMK-EE completion are outlined in NAVADMIN 201/20: - January AD/FTS E7 NWAE cycle – prior to Dec. 1 of the previous year - February SELRES E4/5/6/7 NWAE cycle – prior to Jan. 1 of the same year - March AD/FTS E4/5/6 NWAE cycle – prior to Feb. 1 of the same year - August SELRES E4/5/6 NWAE cycle – prior to Jul. 1 of the same year - September AD/FTS E4/5/6 NWAE cycle - prior to Aug. 1 of the same year The mobile app update took several months to complete and included the combined efforts of multiple entities to include NETPDC, PMW-240, Tracen Tech, and the Navy Training Management and Planning System (NTMPS) team. 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 Navy Advancement Center and the Resources Management Department.
