WASHINGTON (NNS) -- With schools from Pre-K through college shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Navy military and civilian families are often navigating uncharted waters when looking for studying help for their children's schoolwork or even their own -- until now. Thanks to the Department of Defense Military Community and Family Policy Office, the extended military family now has round-the-clock tutoring assistance through the website tutor.com at no cost. All of this is just a screen tap away for the extended Navy family, as the service announced access is available in the latest update of the MyNavy Family mobile app. "Shipmates, this is an incredible benefit, and we are excited to be able to put tools like this in the hands of our Sailors, civilians and their entire families," said Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, the Navy's top uniformed personnel officer. "With schools closed at all levels, this is yet another way we can ease some of the stress on our total workforce at a time they can really use it -- please spread the word." Tutor.com dishes up on-demand academic support 24-hours a day, 7-days a week in more than 100 subjects with a full range of assistance for young children through college-level courses. This will be especially useful for parents at home with kindergarteners through 12th graders who are currently navigating at-home learning. With less than normal access to their teachers these days, the DoD wanted to ensure that families had help available through one-on-one tutors. Along with their academic programs, which go beyond just homework help, they can also help with college entrance and equivalency test preparation. Services for spouses include peer coaching and professional development as well as career training assistance. The most significant change is the tutoring service is now open to all DoD affiliated individuals and families, including both active, Guard and Reserve service members, as well as DoD affiliated civilian personnel and their families. Also eligible are Army and Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps and Service Academy Midshipmen and Cadets. This expanded service went live April 20 and is currently scheduled to be available through June 30. Gaining access is as simple as going to Tutor.com/military Access to tutor.com and many other educational resources are also available through Navy MWR www.navymwrdigitallibrary.org/ The latest DoD policies can be found at https://www.defense.gov/explore/spotlight/coronavirus

The Navy’s top civilian is calling for another investigation into the events surrounding the coronavirus outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier. Last week, the Navy’s top officials recommended that Brett Crozier, the captain relieved of duty after sounding the alarm about a growing coronavirus outbreak aboard the vessel, should be reinstated. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/29/coronavirus-navy-wants-investigation-into-uss-theodore-roosevelt-outbreak.html

WASHINGTON — Ten Democratic senators blasted the Pentagon’s response to the coronavirus crisis as “disjointed and slow” in a letter to Defense Secretary Mark Esper, accusing him of unnecessarily placing troops at risk. “Civilian leadership of the Department [of Defense] has failed to act sufficiently, quickly, and has often prioritized [combat] readiness at the expense of the health of service members and their families,” the senators wrote Monday in the eight-page letter shared by the office of Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. “This failure has adversely affected morale, and, despite the department’s best intentions, undermined readiness.” https://www.stripes.com/news/us/senate-democrats-rip-pentagon-s-coronavirus-response-in-letter-to-esper-1.627734

WASHINGTON — The coronavirus outbreak aboard the USS Kidd has increased to 47 sailors, as the illness continues to spread among the crew since the first sailor was evacuated from the ship four days ago. The guided-missile destroyer has had 45% of the crew tested for the coronavirus and two sailors have been medically evacuated to the United States, the Navy reported Monday. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/coronavirus-outbreak-aboard-uss-kidd-increases-to-47-sailors-1.627562

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy has cleared the path to finishing the spring petty officer advancement cycles, while maintaining COVID-19 mitigation best practices with the release of NAVADMIN 121/20, on April 27. As part of the Navy's initial COVID-19 mitigation response in March, the service temporarily shut down administering further E-4 through E-6 advancement exams for the Active Duty and Full-Time Support (FTS) Cycle 247 and Selected Reserve Cycle 106, hoping to resume testing in late May. After evaluating multiple options, Navy leadership has decided to cancel Cycle 247 Active Duty and Full-Time Support E-4 advancement exams. Instead, advancements will be determined using a modification to the current advancement scoring formula. "Due to the large number of Sailors eligible to participate in this exam and the added difficulty of administering the exam to all of these Sailors while implementing Force Health Protection Guidance (FHPG) measures, to include adequate social distancing measures, Navy has determined that it is in the best interest and safety of our Sailors to not administer the E-4 exam," Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, the Navy's top uniformed personnel official, wrote in the message. Roughly 20,000 E-3 Sailors across the Active Duty and FTS Navy were slated to sit for Cycle 247’s E-4 exam when Navy leaders postponed it in March due to the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Sailors normally take advancement exams in large groups, seated together on a ship's mess decks or in base gymnasiums. This makes it nearly impossible to enforce the physical distancing required to reduce virus transmission risk. Active and FTS Sailors who are eligible for advancement to E-4 will be ranked for advancement using the Final Multiple Score, the calculation just won’t include an individual exam score. This means the remaining factors of Performance Mark Average, Awards, Pass Not Advanced points, Service in Paygrade as well as Education will determine a Sailor's final score for this cycle. A Sailor’s PMA will account for 72 percent of the E-4 final multiple score. This means that for this cycle, a Sailor's on-the-job performance, as rated by their commands, will be the greatest factor in determining who advances. Meanwhile, Navy leaders believe completing the remaining Active Duty and FTS E-5 and E-6 exams won't pose a social distancing problem as the number of test takers is low. Of the roughly 70,000 petty officers eligible for the two tests, 65,000 completed them before the COVID-19 mitigation efforts went into effect. With only 5,000 make-up exams needed to be taken Navy-wide, leadership believes those remaining exams can be properly administered in small groups while adhering to FHPG measures and maintaining social distancing requirements. As a result, commands will have between May 21st and June 3 to proctor those remaining exams. In the Selected Reserve, Navy officials estimate that over 80 percent of eligible Sailors completed their exams in February. Their remaining make-up exams will be administered during drill weekends in July. Questions and concerns about this policy clarification can be answered by calling the MyNavy Career Center at 1-833-330-6622 or by email at AskMNCC@navy.mil.

REF E IS NAVADMIN 116/20, NAVY MITIGATION MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK UPDATE 4.// RMKS/1. In coordination with Fleet Education Service Officers (ESO) and with assistance from the Fleet Master Chiefs, the Navy advancement team working group developed a tailored approach to close out the Spring Navy Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) for both active-duty (AD) and Reserve Sailors. Our primary goal continues to be keeping all Sailors safe and healthy, while ensuring every advancement candidate has an equal and fair opportunity to advance despite the challenges of the current COVID-19 environment. This NAVADMIN amplifies guidance contained in reference (a) and contains exam and cycle administration changes to references (b) and (c). Additionally, this NAVADMIN cancels and replaces reference (d). 2. The following applies only to AD and Full-Time Support (FTS) Sailors: a. E-7 candidates. These Sailors were able to take their exams before COVID-19 mitigation measures were implemented. The selection board eligibility list was published on MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my-eso. Additional guidance will be promulgated in a future NAVADMIN, which will detail a revised selection board schedule for all chief petty officer boards. b. E-5 and E-6 candidates. Regular March exams were administered before COVID-19 mitigation measures were implemented. However, approximately 5,000 substitute exams have not been administered. As such, command ESOs will be given 10 working days from 21 May 2020 through 3 June 2020, to administer substitute exams for these Sailors. ESOs must clearly publish and communicate exam administration schedules so Sailors are made aware of testing dates and administration sites in advance of this testing window. Commands should implement precautionary measures to ensure Force Health Protection Guidance (FHPG) measures are met in line with reference (e) to include social distancing requirements. This may include providing multiple administration sites to reduce the number of, and spread-out, exam-takers at each site. To minimize the risk of Sailor collusion, ESOs are highly encouraged to administer exams for like ratings on the same day. Following the completion of substitute exams, ESOs must expeditiously mail all answer sheets to the Navy Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) in accordance with reference (a). c. E-4 candidates. There are approximately 20,000 exams that were not administered due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reference (d) rescheduled the E-4 exam to 21 May 2020, however, execution of the exam in May presents high risk to the force. Due to the large number of Sailors eligible to participate in this exam and the added difficulty of administering the exam to all of these Sailors while implementing FHPG measures, the Navy has determined that it is in the best interest and safety of our Sailors to NOT administer the E-4 exam. (1) As an alternative, those Sailors who were eligible to take the Spring E-4 Cycle 247 exam will have the opportunity for advancement using the rank-order method, a performance-based system that will use current standard Final Multiple Score (FMS) factors without inclusion of an exam score. With the elimination of the exam score the Performance Mark Average will be the dominant factor in determining advancement. FMS factors include the following: Traditional FMS Rank-Order FMS Points % Points % Performance Mark Avg. 64 38% 64 72% Standard Score 80 47% 0 0% Awards 10 6% 10 11% Pass not Advance 9 6% 9 10% Service In Paygrade 2 1% 2 2% Education 4 2% 4 5% Maximum FMS 169 100% 89 100% This alternate FMS method provides eligible E-4 candidates opportunity for advancement this cycle. (2) To accurately determine the population of E-4 candidates eligible for advancement using the rank-order method, command ESOs MUST complete all Enlisted Advancement Worksheets (EAW) in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). EAW accuracy is particularly important since traditionally, NETPDC uses the candidate exam answer sheet to create a candidate record and establish the advancement eligible population. However, with exam cancellation, NETPDC will not receive answer sheets and will rely on the completed EAW to establish advancement eligibility. (3) Currently, there are approximately 35,000 unfinished EAWs in NSIPS, which require immediate action by command or regional ESOs (for those units unable to access NSIPS). ESOs are directed to adjudicate all EAWs to reflect the correct eligibility status for their respective Sailors before 21 May 2020 in order to have their records reviewed for the Spring exam (Cycle 247). Command leadership should ensure this process is completed by 21 May 2020 to afford eligible candidates consideration for advancement. 3. The following applies only to Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors: a. E-4 through E-7 candidates. Approximately 83% of all Cycle 106 exams were administered during the NWAE in February 2020. However, close to 3,000 late exams were not administered due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As such, command ESOs are authorized to test from 1-31 July 2020 since testing for SELRES is dependent on drill weekends, available test sites and candidate availability. Following the completion of late exams, ESOs must expeditiously mail answer sheets to NETPDC. (1) SELRES E-7 candidates are highly encouraged to participate in the exam at the earliest possible date in July 2020 to ensure selection board eligibility results can be posted prior to the board convening date. (2) Due to Cycle 106 exam delays, all SELRES E-7 candidates will have an additional three weeks to submit a Letter to the Board (LTB). The new due date for LTB submissions will be 18 May 2020, which correlates to the original convening of the Reserve E-7 board. While FTS E-7 board eligibility has already been published, SELRES E-7 has not. Consequently, all SELRES E-7 candidates are encouraged to submit a LTB prior to the 18 May due date, if desired, just in case they become eligible for the SELRES E-7 board following the publishing of board eligibility. An LTB is not required and should not include information already available within the Official Military Personnel File of a Sailor. b. ESOs are responsible for ensuring examination dates on the EAW are changed for the approved late examination administrations. 4. Advancement Results. Release of E-4 through E-6 AD/FTS advancement results is anticipated as early as July 2020. SELRES E-4 through E-6 advancement results and E-7 selection board eligibility results can be expected in late August. Results are heavily dependent on commands promptly processing and returning answer sheets. 5. EAW system change. A system change was made to the Cycle 247 (March 2020) E4 EAW, setting the new examination administration date to 21 May 2020. Regardless of when the actual exam is administered, ESOs will have until 21 May 2020 to finalize E-4 Worksheets. For SELRES Cycle 106, ESOs are responsible for ensuring examination dates on the EAW are changed for the approved late examination administrations. No Sailors will gain eligibility for advancement due to the delay/cancellation of exams. 6. Questions and concerns regarding these policy changes may be referred to MyNavy Career Center at askmncc(at)navy.mil or 1-833- 330-MNCC (6622). 7. Released by Vice Admiral John B.

WASHINGTON— Sailors on 26 Navy ships have the coronavirus now and 14 other ships have had confirmed cases of illness, though crew members have recovered, a Navy official said Wednesday. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/more-than-25-navy-ships-now-have-sailors-infected-with-the-coronavirus-1.627042

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- After announcing temporary changes to ID Card office procedures, the Navy has issued additional guidance April 20. NAVADMIN 114/20 provides an update for Navy personnel who require Common Access Cards (CAC) and Uniformed Services Identification (USID) card services during the COVID-19 pandemic. These additional measures provide greater flexibility for ensuring installation and facility physical access and means to remotely update information technology certifications, all to maintain continuity of operations while minimizing non-essential visits to ID card facilities. Service personnel and family members who possess expired ID cards and who are still eligible for benefits due to sufficient service affiliation can continue to use their expired cards until Sept. 30, 2020. While all will still be screened at base entry control points, electronic ID card scanners will be used to verify eligibility and if valid, base access will be granted. CAC cards with an expiration date of April 16, 2020 (or later) may continue to be used through Sept. 30, 2020 after cardholders renew their credentials online. Access to the ID Card Office Online is available at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/self_service. Step-by-step instructions are available at https://www.cac.mil/coronavirus. The following additional temporary policy changes announced in the message are effective until Sept. 30, 2020: The minimum age to get a USID card has been raised to 14 years old. As long as a cardholder’s affiliation with their service has not changed, USID cards that expired on or after Jan. 1, 2020 can continue to be used (base access, commissary, exchange, etc.). Service members can remotely enroll newly acquired dependents (spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child, etc.) for healthcare coverage. Contact MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) Contact Center at (833) 330-6622 or via email at askmncc@navy.mil for specific guidance. USID cards can be reissued via the postal service for those unable to get an appointment at a RAPIDS site. Service members who want to use this option must first contact their nearest ID card office and can find this information at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil. All Navy Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) sites will continue to issue and re-issue CACs that expire within 30 days by appointment only. However, CACs will not be reissued for routine information changes (promotion, name change, etc). DOD civilian employees will keep their CAC when transitioning to a new service. CAC PIN resets will continue to be provided on a walk-in basis. To check the status of a RAPIDS site or to schedule an appointment go to the RAPIDS Appointment Scheduler at https://rapids-appointments.dmdc.osd.mil.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- A growing number of Sailors are now eligible to extend their time on active duty and take advantage of a special incentive pay. The Navy has added 23 new ratings/paygrades to an already extensive list of those eligible to receive Sea Duty Incentive Pay (SDIP) for extending their current tour at sea or returning to sea early. The move was done to ensure the Navy continues to fill operational requirements for sea-going commands, particularly in this challenging time brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the rating, paygrade and Navy enlisted classification code, second class petty officers and below who qualify can receive SDIP at a rate of up to $750 per month for each additional month of sea time. For first class petty officers and above that rate is up to $1,000 per month. Sailors interested in extending on sea duty should contact their detailers and apply 14-16 months prior to their projected rotation date or at the end of their rating’s prescribed sea tour to take advantage of SDIP. Submissions inside of this timeline are waiverable and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Sailors who choose to take on more time can either continue serving in an SDIP billet at their current command or serve in an SDIP billet at a new command, known as SDIP back to back. Those Sailors must agree to serve 12-48 months for either option. Sailors who wish to cut short their shore duty and return to sea early should contact their detailers and apply at least 6-9 months prior to their desired detach date. Sailors who choose to leave shore early must make a commitment at least 6 months prior to their regular rotation to be eligible for the SDIP. Per NAVADMIN 089/20, enlisted Sailors with an approved separation or retirement date who are in billets eligible for SDIP may receive SDIP if approved for an extension of 6 to 12 months. See the NAVADMIN for details. Once the Sailor submits an SDIP request and it is approved, the Sailor will sign an SDIP contract and receive a lump sum SDIP payment upon reporting to their new SDIP assignment. Those who do not fulfill their SDIP commitment will pay back the unearned portion of their SDIP lump sum. Special pays such as this are vital to ensure the right people are in the right billets as part of the Sailor 2025 initiative. MyNavy HR is committed to using monetary and non-monetary incentives to manage the Navy’s diverse and high performing talent. The new rates compliment the previous rating eligibility list, which is available at https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/payandbenefits/Pages/sdip.aspx

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Tribune News Service) — Navy sophomore Gabriella Mayes was at her Rio Rancho, New Mexico home late last month when she got the good news. She had been named a National Rifle Association honorable mention All-American. It marked the second straight season a Midshipmen rifle team member earned postseason honors from the NRA. It was an award Mayes admitted came as a surprise. More so, it was a bright spot in what has otherwise been a disappointing finish to what was shaping up as one of the best seasons in program history. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/the-navy-rifle-team-was-on-the-verge-of-its-best-season-yet-then-coronavirus-came-1.626801

A flood of new research suggests that far more people have had the coronavirus without any symptoms, fueling hope that it will turn out to be much less lethal than originally feared. While that's clearly good news, it also means it's impossible to know who around you may be contagious. That complicates decisions about returning to work, school and normal life. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/reports-suggest-many-have-had-coronavirus-with-no-symptoms-1.626683

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has ordered thousands of face coverings for Defense Department personnel to help stop the spread of the coronavirus, a top Pentagon official announced Monday. The face coverings, made of cloth, will be provided to the entire Defense Department workforce of about 3 million people, Ellen Lord, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, said during a news conference at the Pentagon. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/pentagon-orders-thousands-of-face-masks-for-dod-personnel-1.626731

(CNN)Defense Secretary Mark Esper will extend Defense Department-wide travel restrictions through June 30, the Pentagon announced Saturday -- an order that will continue to stop the movement of most military forces and their families to new assignments around the world in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. In a telephone briefing with reporters, Matthew Donovan, under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said the order will go into effect Monday. The Pentagon announced last month that members of the armed services, Defense Department civilian employees and their family members who are living on or serving at military properties could no longer travel domestically. It was due to expire in May. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/18/politics/defense-department-travel-restrictions-coronavirus/index.html

WASHINGTON — Nearly 3,000 American service members worldwide had tested positive for the coronavirus by Friday, according to new Pentagon data that showed military-affiliated individuals infected by the virus nearing 5,000. The data released Thursday showed more than 22% of the 2,986 service members diagnosed with the fast-spreading virus have recovered from the disease. Forty-four troops are now hospitalized by the virus, which has killed two service members, including 41-year-old Chief Petty Officer Charles Robert Thacker Jr., who died Monday in a Guam hospital after contracting the virus aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/dod-wide-coronavirus-cases-near-5-000-1.626457

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Even during unprecedented times, defending the nation is what the Navy does best, while ensuring those who don the uniform remain safe. In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and keep Sailors healthy, unit commanders now have the authority to place personnel on a 14-day Restriction of Movement (ROM) period prior to deploying, getting underway or conducting operations. According to NAVADMIN 113/20, which provides an update to previous guidance regarding ROM, unit commanders can also place new personnel on ROM status prior to integrating them with their shipmates. When personnel are on ROM, they will be directed to remain in their homes, quarters such as unaccompanied housing, or temporary lodging that meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 guidance. Sailors in a ROM period may conduct essential tasks, such as laundry and outdoor exercise, while maintaining six feet from others. Complete details are available in NAVADMIN 113/20, which was released April 17. The NAVADMIN can be found at https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/Documents/NAVADMINS/NAV2020/NAV20113.txt For more news from Commander, Navy Installations Command, follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/navyinstallations or www.twitter.com/cnichq

NAVAL BASE GUAM (NNS) -- Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) are pushing hard and making progress toward keeping their fellow Sailors safe and returning their ship to sea. Following routine naval operations in the South China Sea the Sailors of USS Theodore Roosevelt are face-to-face with a new, silent and invisible enemy, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They are fighting back, and the crew is now winning. In the beginning, fighting the virus resembled a damage control scenario, similar to fighting a fire or flood. Capt. Dan Keeler, executive officer aboard Theodore Roosevelt, established a command center akin to damage control central in a ship casualty, in the executive officer's conference room. Cmdr. Jennifer Huck, Theodore Roosevelt's combat directions center officer, was appointed as the initial officer in charge. "We have two tasks, taking care of Sailors and cleaning the ship," said Huck. "We are focused on taking care of the Sailor's health and ensuring the ship's crew is following all centers for disease control and prevention guidelines to include personal protective equipment (PPE). Our medical department is doing great work testing, isolating and treating Sailors. We are going to thoroughly clean the ship. We have already started and are about finished." Sanitizing the ship has become an all hands effort, including a roving cleaning team that is constantly transiting the ship, cleaning along the way. Each day begins and ends with what the crew now refers to as "bleach-a-palooza." "I have been here since day one of bleach-a-palooza," said one of the Sailors responsible for controlling, mixing and issuing cleaning solution to the crew. "It's an all hands effort and everyone is trying their best. Supply and medical work hand-in-hand to monitor every department on the ship to make sure they're cleaning twice a day. If they want to clean after hours we support that as well." Theodore Roosevelt's supply department has worked tirelessly to ensure the crew has all the tools they need to fight this new enemy. "We supply gloves, rags, bleach, buckets and any other items needed to support the mission," said the Sailor. "It's important to make sure every department gets what they need while also supporting the cleaning task force who clean all day." The cleaning task force is led by Cmdr. Chad Hollinger, Theodore Roosevelt's weapon's officer, who the crew has taken to calling "Mr. Clean," and Master Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Patrick Maxie, Theodore Roosevelt's weapons department leading chief petty officer. "The team's mission is to fully sanitize the ship," said Hollinger. "To complete the mission we are going to clean this ship from top-to-bottom and forward-to-aft to create a clean zone for everyone coming back to the ship, so we can get back to business." Hollinger and Maxie's primary mission when the ship is out to sea is leading teams of Sailors in the delivery of ordnance and ammunition used to fight an enemy that can be seen with the naked eye. While the enemy may have changed, their mission remains the same, to eliminate the enemy. "We hit the virus with chemicals we know will kill it, and after that space is clean, we seal it off," said Maxie. "Along with cleaning solution and disinfectant, we use a number of things to complete the mission. Most important on the list is PPE. The safety of our Sailors is our top priority. To protect them from the cleaning solution and the virus, our teams are required to wear goggles, gloves, face shields, and coveralls while cleaning. Once they enter a space they go through with tough wipes, rags and cleaning spray and then go back through with a disinfectant or bleach solution." According to Hollinger, the most helpful tools in completing the mission are large area sprayers. The team uses the sprayers in spaces without large machinery or electrical equipment. With this equipment, the team can cover a large space, such as a berthing or mess deck, in a third of the time it would take to do by hand. "We have cleaned over 2,000 spaces so far and have cleaned over 80 percent of the ship," said Hollinger. "I couldn't be more proud to take on the task of leading this team and I couldn't have asked for a better team to get this done. It hasn't been easy; it's hard work, but we are fighting through it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we are going to get there." While the crew cleans the ship, the first round of Sailors that left after testing positive for the virus are completing their own recovery said Capt. Carlos Sardiello, Theodore Roosevelt's commanding officer. "It's a journey, but supporting each other is how we get through this," said Sardiello. "We are extremely thankful for the overwhelming support from the local government here on Guam, in cooperation with Joint Region Marianas in the fight against COVID-19. "I look forward to giving the conning officer permission to order, all ahead 2/3, out the breakwater of Apra Harbor to the Pacific Ocean. There is a saying, no ship sails on yesterday's wind. We move forward by what we do here and now."

NORFOLK (NNS) -- On April 16, Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) issued ALNAVRESFOR 011/20, which announces several new policies for Navy Reserve Sailors, consolidates temporary COVID-19 guidance for ease of reference, and postpones all drill weekends until the end of May. “We are extending our current drill weekend-postponement until May 31 in order to protect our force and provide predictability for our Sailors,” said Rear Adm. John Schommer, deputy commander, Navy Reserve Force. “Reservists should continue to use the liberal telework policy we implemented last month to complete their Inactive Duty Training (IDT) requirements in order to ensure a ‘good year’ and maintain mission readiness.” Reservists are encouraged to read the entire official message, located at the Navy Reserve Message Library site, https://www.public.navy.mil/nrh/Pages/library_messages.aspx, for complete details. In addition to postponing drill weekends, 13 other topics are addressed, including annual participation waivers, funeral honors, and military school impacts. The telework policy implemented by CNRF March 19 will also be extended until May 31. “Over the past month, we have implement several policies to ensure maximum flexibility for our Reservists,” said Schommer. “It’s important for the Navy Reserve team to know we have their backs, and we want to ensure their success.” Here are some highlights from the message: FY20 Annual Participation Although the annual participation waiver process remains unchanged, Navy Reserve leadership recognizes the undue effect the COVID-19 crisis poses on an individual Reservist’s ability to meet their participation requirement. Therefore, when a waiver request is submitted, unit leaders’ endorsements and Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) commanding officers’ and wing commanders’ adjudication shall strongly consider COVID-19 response effects on a Sailor’s ability to participate. It is directed that each waiver request be individually reviewed with a favorable bias toward approval, as appropriate. For added flexibility, the deadline for the waiver submission has been adjusted from May 1 to June 30. Annual participation and a qualifying year for retirement have different requirements. For retirement, Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors must achieve 50 points in their anniversary year. Points include drills (paid/non-paid), funeral honors, correspondence courses, AT/ADT, active duty, and 15 membership points. The anniversary year is different for everyone. Visit the Points Frequently Asked Questions page to determine your anniversary year at https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/pages/pointsfaq.aspx. CVR Deployment of the Commercial Virtual Remote (CVR) is underway. CVR is a temporary solution and data stored within the CVR environment will be destroyed at the conclusion of the COVID-19 emergency. A best practice includes using the Navy Reserve Homeport (NRH) for file sharing and storage, and using CVR for voice, video, and chat collaboration. CNRFC N6 strongly advises members to use non-NMCI devices to register and employ the CVR. The CNRFC N6 has a comprehensive library of CVR information available on the CNRFC SharePoint site. AT/ADT Telework Reserve members asked to conduct AT or Active-Duty Training (ADT) via telework by their gaining command require first flag officer approval from the command and should follow telework procedures and directives of the applicable supported command. There are no legal restrictions that prevent telework for AT/ADT provided the command authorizes it. Active component commands should ensure that sufficient controls are in place to ensure satisfactory completion of all required work by the SELRES Reservist. Orders shall not authorize travel or lodging funds as duties will be performed at home. Members with approval for telework during the COVID-19 period from the gaining command will have orders written to their local NOSC and members will coordinate with the local NOSC for muster and pay while on approved telework orders. Operational Support Officers should coordinate first flag approval in the same manner in which mission essential travel is approved. Approvals will be placed in the CNRC N3 tracker at the CNRFC SharePoint site. E-AT Extension 29 days of Exceptional-AT (AT) is available for both officers and enlisted until further notice. Distributed Mobilization for COVID-19 Response All Reservists mobilizing in support of COVID-19 response missions are being pre-screened, activated, and processed by their Navy Reserve Activity (NRA) or NOSC, and then proceeding directly to their supported command with minimal intermediate stops. Common Access Card Issuance Policy Update All Navy Real-time Automated Personnel Identification Systems (RAPIDS) sites will only accept customers who have made CAC online appointments. Priority support will be provided to those with time sensitive situations. Funeral Honors The requirement to provide military funeral honors at any funeral or memorial function (to include interments) for veterans and service members is waived until further notice. Families requesting military funeral honors will be informed at a lateral date when the DoD travel restrictions have been lifted and the request can be accommodated. The exception approval authority for funeral honors support is Commander, Navy Installations Command. Civilian Leave Clarification The Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) provides civilian employees up to 80 hours of additional paid sick leave for COVID-19 related purposes. Civilian supervisors should contact Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) Human Resources if they have further questions. Personal Protective Equipment Wear/Use and Personal Sanitization Procedures All individuals on DoD property, installations, and facilities are required to wear cloth face coverings when they cannot maintain six feet of social distance. Please continue to follow guidance contained on www.cdc.gov and published Navy guidance concerning force health protection policies and procedures. Contact your local NRA medical staff with any questions or concerns. “A” and “C” Schools Impact and Mitigations CNRFC N7 is funding “A” and “C” school attendance for schools that are still teaching that meet one of three categories below. In all cases, students or supporting NRAs working Active-Duty Training (ADT) schools requests should contact the N7 ADT-schools points of contact on the CNRFC SharePoint site or call the N7 ADT schools hotline (757-322-6586). • ADT-schools orders to schools were attendance involves local travel only (do not need a mission-essential designation. • Accession-level schools governed by NAVADMIN 075/20. Students attending these schools should expect a 14-day order extensions in order to incorporate ROM requirements specific to each schoolhouse. • Any other school designated as mission-essential by the first flag in the chain of command. This decision is made by the Type, System, and Fleet commanders. ROM Hardship Duty Pay Service members who have been ordered to a Restriction of Movement (ROM) status may be eligible to receive hardship duty pay for any days in such an ordered status on or after March 13. Reservists who may qualify according to the message should speak with their NRA or NOSC leadership. Urinalysis Procedures Commands will continue random urinalysis specimen collections from Sailors during the COVID-19 pandemic to the greatest extent possible, although commanders may adjust their collection schedule and percentages in order to support flexibility and COVID-19 mitigation efforts. Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI) Reserve Sailors with SGLI, Traumatic SGLI, and/or Family SFLI coverage do not lose coverage due to non-payment of premiums when RC members do not receive active or inactive duty pay, from which premiums were normally deducted, as a result of previously scheduled IDT, AT, or ADT being cancelled, suspended, deferred, or excused. Reserve Sailors should expect that any missed premiums will be subsequently deducted in a lump sum once IDT, AT, or ADT resumes and they are once again in a pay status.

REF F IS NAVADMIN 100/20, NAVY GUIDANCE ON THE USE OF FACE COVERINGS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN supersedes REF E and acknowledges that operational unit commanders may have to execute a Restriction of Movement (ROM) period prior to introducing new members to the crew or prior to taking a unit overseas or underway. It also designates additional responsibilities for Transient Personnel Unit (TPU) Commanding Officers and clarifies use of Hardship Duty Pay (HDP)-ROM as a source of funding for ROM. REF A requires personnel returning from a Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Travel Health Notice (THN) Level 3 or Level 2 location perform a 14-day ROM. During ROM, Service Members should be restricted to their residence or other appropriate domicile and limit close contact (within 6 feet or 2 meters) with others. This NAVADMIN clarifies the definition of ROM, provides amplifying guidance, and delineates responsibilities for execution of ROM. 2. Definitions. 2.a. Restriction of Movement (ROM). General DoD term referring to the limitation of personal liberty for the purpose of ensuring health, safety and welfare. ROM is inclusive of Quarantine, Isolation and Sequester. 2.a.(1) Quarantine. Medical term referring to the separation of personnel from others as a result of suspected exposure to a communicable disease. For the world-wide COVID-19 epidemic, this should be imposed on those with no COVID-19 symptoms who have either recently returned from a high-risk location (CDC THN Level 2 or 3), or have had close contact with a known COVID-19 positive patient. The current recommended Quarantine period is 14 days. Per CDC, Quarantine generally means the separation of a person or group of people reasonably believed to have been exposed to a communicable disease but not yet symptomatic, from others who have not been so exposed, to prevent the possible spread of the communicable disease. 2.a.(2) Isolation. Medical term referring to the separation of personnel from others due either to the development of potential COVID-19 symptoms or as a result of a positive COVID-19 test. Per CDC, Isolation means the separation of a person or group of people known or reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease and potentially infectious from those who are not infected to prevent spread of the communicable disease. Isolation for public health purposes may be voluntary or compelled by federal, state, or local public health order. 2.a.(3) Sequester. Term used to describe isolating forces to remove or reduce risk of infection degrading a unit. 2.a.(3)A. Mission Assurance. Isolate forces committed to certain key missions to remove risk of infection inhibiting mission execution. 2.a.(3)B. Pre-Movement Sequester. Action taken by an operational commander to reduce risk of introducing a COVID-19 positive, asymptomatic Service Member to a unit by instituting a 14-day ROM period for the Service Members within the unit. This action may be taken for all personnel assigned to a unit prior to deploying, getting underway, or conducting operations. A member of the unit or newly reported member of the unit who has traveled from or through an area where COVID-19 community transmission is widespread or is suspected of having been exposed to COVID-19 should be placed in Quarantine or Isolation and not Sequester. 2.a.(4) Bubble. Term used to describe personnel, units or installations regarded as having a low probability of COVID-19 infection. A ship that has been underway for greater than 14 days without any COVID-19 positive personnel would be considered to be a Bubble. 2.a.(5) Bubble-to-bubble Transfer. Term used to describe movement of units or personnel from one location to another utilizing controlled means such as military air, government ground transportation or sealift to minimize introduction of COVID-19 to the protected population. Bubble-to-bubble Transfers cannot be executed with commercial air, sea or ground transportation. 2.b. Patient (or Person) Under Investigation (PUI). In the case of COVID-19, a PUI is defined as an individual with either a pending COVID-19 test or for whom a test should be ordered or conducted (medically indicated). 2.c. Self-monitoring. Per CDC, Self-monitoring means people should monitor themselves for fever by taking their temperatures twice a day and remaining alert for the onset of a cough or difficulty breathing. If an individual feels feverish or develops a measured fever, cough, or difficulty breathing during the Self-monitoring period, they should self-isolate, limit contact with others, and seek advice by telephone from a healthcare provider or their local health department to determine whether further medical evaluation is needed. 2.d. Close Contact. Per CDC, a Close Contact is defined as: 2.d.(1) Being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of a COVID-19 positive individual for a prolonged period of time; the current recommended threshold is 10 minutes. Close Contact can occur while caring for, living with, visiting, or sharing a healthcare waiting area or room with a COVID-19 case. 2.d.(2) Having direct contact with infectious secretions of a COVID-19 case (e.g., being coughed on). 2.e. Force Enclave. A designated location or installation augmented with essential supplies, personnel and medical resources sufficient to provide sustainment for Fleet surface and subsurface operations, Quarantine, and/or supportive care for sick personnel in Isolation. U.S. territory is the preferred site for a Force Enclave. 3. Applicability. ROM applies to all Service Members, who in the last 14 days have either been in: 3.a. An area with ongoing spread of COVID-19 as defined as CDC designated Level 2 and 3 countries (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/travelers/map-and-travel-notices.html), 3.b. A domestic location with widespread community transmission rate of COVID-19 as designated by the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html), 3.c. Close Contact with a person known to have COVID-19. 3.d. Per REF A, it is strongly recommended that DoD civilian employees, DoD contractor personnel and dependents also follow this guidance. 4. Guidance. 4.a. ROM personnel shall be directed to remain at home or in a comparable setting for 14 days (ROM) from the day of departure or contact. For transient personnel and those residing in close quarters such as unaccompanied housing or ships, temporary lodging meeting CDC guidance of separate sleeping and bathroom facilities shall be arranged, when available. It is possible that units executing Pre-movement Sequester will be assigned rooms that do not meet CDC guidance due to the large volume of rooms required. 4.b. When in ROM, personnel shall avoid congregate settings, limit Close Contact with people and pets or other animals to the greatest extent possible, avoid traveling, Self-monitor, and seek immediate medical care if symptoms (e.g., cough or shortness of breath) develop. 4.c. Personnel assigned ROM may exit quarters to access laundry facilities, outdoor exercise, designated smoking areas; and conduct other essential tasks not in a public setting provided they maintain social distancing greater than 6 feet (2 meters) from others. Access to messing facilities, stores, fitness centers and other widely used support services is prohibited. 4.d. For temporary lodging, normal room cleaning services will be suspended during the ROM period. 4.e. For personnel executing ROM in a private residence, coordinate with parent command for the purchase of required food/hygiene items or arrange delivery through other means. 4.f. After completion of ROM, return to work per REF C and Combatant Commander guidance, if applicable. 4.g. Should personnel in Quarantine or Sequester status test positive for COVID -19, the person is now considered in Isolation and should further restrict movement beyond what is listed in 4.c., exiting quarters to execute only absolutely essential tasks. In the event a person was in a Sequester status, ensure that accommodations meet CDC guidelines for Isolation and follow any additional guidance provided by medical professionals. 5. Responsibilities. 5.a. Parent command Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge shall: 5.a.(1) Ensure ROM screening of personnel. If a Bubble-to-bubble Transfer has not occurred, execute Sequester prior to introducing personnel into unit settings including classroom instruction. 5.a.(2) Ensure ROM personnel comply with paragraph 4. 5.a.(3) If temporary lodging is required: 5.a.(3)A. Provide written orders for ROM personnel. Orders will direct the Service Member to a ROM status and not TAD to the host installation. If no- cost lodging is not available, Service Members directed to Quarantine or Isolation per 2.a.(1) and 2.a.(2) may be eligible for HDP-ROM per REF D if they incur unreimbursed lodging costs. The preferred temporary lodging is NGIS. If executing a Pre-movement Sequester per 2.a.(3)for an entire unit or portion of a unit, and no-cost lodging is not available, units should consider use of O&M funding to contract for lodging. Units should contact the type commander for funding. This may be accomplished utilizing a General Terms and Conditions (GT&C) document to avoid issues arising from Service Members without government travel cards. Per REF D, members in Pre-movement Sequester are not eligible for HDP-ROM. 5.a.(3)B. Coordinate with installation Commanding Officer for room assignment. It is imperative that tenant commands inform installations of all personnel in ROM status within government facilities (to include barracks, NGIS, Navy Lodge, PPV family housing, and PPV barracks). 5.a.(3)C. As needed, coordinate messing support with the Commanding Officer where a galley is available. Arrangements will be made between the parent command and the installation for the delivery of meals to Service Members in a ROM status. 5.a.(3)D. As required, provide daily support to ROM personnel to ensure meal delivery as well as health and comfort checks. 5.a.(3)E. Ensure personnel supporting individuals in ROM status are trained on ROM requirements and associated interaction protocols. Close Contact is prohibited. PPE is not required. 5.a.(3)F. If private residence is utilized, coordinate with ROM personnel to ensure messing needs are met. 5.b. Installation Commanding Officers shall: 5.b.(1) Account daily for available temporary lodging to support ROM. 5.b.(2) Track ROM personnel residing in Navy Lodging (unaccompanied housing, NGIS, Navy Lodge, PPV family housing, PPV barracks) both on and off installation. There is no need for installations to track tenant personnel in ROM status in private residence/lodging. 5.b.(3) Provide detailed instructions to tenant commands who require temporary ROM lodging support. 5.b.(4) If available, coordinate with parent commands to provide take-out meals for delivery to ROM personnel. 5.b.(5) Ensure temporary lodging staff are trained on ROM requirements and associated interaction protocols. Close Contact is prohibited. PPE is not required. 5.b.(6) Follow CDC guidance for cleaning rooms following the ROM period. Ensure the standards are the same across all facilities (unaccompanied housing, NGIS, Navy Lodge). 5.b.(7) For the safety of lodging personnel, ensure clear discrete procedures are in place to identify rooms which are occupied by ROM personnel. 5.b.(8) Ensure fire and emergency services are aware of ROM personnel locations, particularly those in Isolation, and are prepared to respond to medical emergencies with appropriate PPE. 5.c. Transient Personnel Unit (TPU) Commanding Officers shall: 5.c.(1) Contact operational commanders prior to sending Further Fleet Transfer (FFT) personnel to gaining units to determine if Sequester is required. 5.c.(2) If Quarantine or Isolation is required, obtain request from the gaining Commanding Officer to execute Isolation/Quarantine and order FFT personnel into ROM status for 14 days. If no-cost lodging is unavailable, Service Member may be eligible for HDP-ROM per REF D if they incur unreimbursed lodging costs. If Sequester is required and no-cost lodging is required, O&M funding should be used to contract for lodging. 5.c.(3) For operational units less than 14 days from return to homeport (RTHP), Sequester will not be executed by TPU unless the entire unit will execute Mission Assurance Sequester upon return. 6. Entitlements. Per REF B. 7. Reporting Requirements. Per REF B. 8. ROM FAQs. Question 1. When placed on Restriction of Movement (ROM), can I travel to locations within the fence line of an installation to utilize facilities such as the NEX food court or the gym? Answer 1. No, during the duration of ROM, Service Members must remain in their rooms with the exception of brief trips to utilize designated smoking areas, walking in the immediate vicinity of the building (usually within 100 feet), and limiting close contact (within 6 feet) with others.

Can I get off ROM early if I was in Close Contact to a person with COVID-19, and I feel like I am not sick? Answer 10. No, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends 14 days of ROM from the last date of exposure to a COVID-19 positive person. Question 11. What is the difference between Quarantine and Restriction of Movement (ROM)? Answer 11. Quarantine is a legal public health term used for civilian restrictions and ROM is a military term being used to identify military individuals who are restricted in their movement, generally to their residence. Question 12. Are my family members at risk if I ROM at home with them? Answer 12. ROM status is a precautionary step to prevent spread to others. Considering this, it is recommended that while at home in a ROM status, you practice social distancing. This means try to remain at least 6 feet from other persons, avoid using the same bathroom, or sleeping in the same bed. Question 13. Can I prepare meals for my family while on ROM? Answer 13. When in a ROM status, it is recommended you not prepare meals for your family because the virus is spread through respiratory droplets that can land on surfaces such as food. Ideally, you should have other individuals prepare food. If you are the only care giver, make sure you are washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds for general food safety. Make sure you cover your nose and mouth when coughing and wash your hands after using the bathroom. Question 14. Should I be wearing a mask? Answer 14. Yes. Per REF F, all individuals on DoD property, installations and facilities are required to wear cloth face coverings when they cannot maintain the required six feet of physical distance. Face coverings are not intended to provide respiratory protection for the wearer; rather face coverings lessen the spread of the virus by asymptomatic (i.e. unknowing) but infected persons. Question 15. Do I need to clean my house to CDC standards? Answer 15. It is recommended you maintain a clean living environment as you normally would. This includes frequent hand washing, washing clothing and bedding, and wiping down frequently touched surfaces with a sanitizing wipe or any cleaning product that contains at least 10 percent bleach. The Environmental Protection Agency has a list of products that have been specifically tested as effective in sanitizing surfaces. Question 16. Can I discontinue ROM if I have a negative COVID-19 test? Answer 16. No. Per REF C, the full 14 day ROM must be executed. Numerous cases have occurred where a person tested negative only to be positive a few days later without changing their environment. It is necessary to allow the full two weeks to ensure that asymptomatic personnel do not potentially spread the virus. 9. Released by Vice Admiral M. M.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will allow its active-duty troops to keep up to 120 days of personal leave at the end of September as travel restrictions in place amid the coronavirus pandemic have largely kept service members from using vacation days. "The department's actions to stem the spread of [the] coronavirus disease … to include restricting travel, has significantly limited the ability of service members to take leave during this national emergency,” Matthew Donovan, the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, wrote Thursday in a memorandum announcing the change. “Leave is vital to the continued health and welfare of our service members and civilian workforce and is key to the secretary of defense’s first priority in responding to [the coronavirus] ― protecting our service members, [Defense Department] civilians and their families.” https://www.stripes.com/news/us/pentagon-allows-service-members-to-keep-more-leave-time-amid-pandemic-1.626365
