Coronavirus restrictions have hurt sailors’ morale and may prompt some to jump ship when their terms of service expire, a Navy commander wrote recently in an independent journal. Cmdr. Matt Wright, a 2002 U.S. Naval Academy graduate who leads Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 22 at Norfolk, Va., brought up his concerns in the April edition of the U.S. Naval Institute’s monthly magazine, Proceedings.

The app is the new RTM home for the culinary specialist, culinary specialist submarine, legalman, logistics specialist, logistics specialist submarine, mass communication specialist, musician, personnel specialist, religious programs specialist, retail services specialist, yeoman and yeoman submarine ratings, allowing for studying on the go, without a CAC card or an internet connection. The app also hosts non-resident training courses (NRTCs) including customer service, Educational Services Officer, Enlisted Aide, Postal Operations, Navy Official Mail and Instructional theory, which is used by all instructors throughout the fleet. App features include a resources link in every RTM to their respective rating Navy COOL site, contact information for feedback and emergency support, and the ability to receive credit for the completed course directly into their Electronic Training Jacket by entering their DODID number rather than completing the course via Navy eLearning. Another key feature for the app is it serves as the host for up-to-date versions of the RTMs and NRTCs. By moving to a digital format, the app allows CSS to work with type commanders and fleet subject matter experts (SME) to change content as needed and deliver updates to the fleet faster. “We are continuing positive movement and growth in the 21st century for how our Sailors will be preparing for their advancement exams,” said Capt. Milton W. Troy III, CSS commanding officer. “Early fleet estimates have us at more than 32,000 Sailors who will be effected through this new app. This shows how wide a scope we are dealing with. Something this major will have a direct and immediate impact for Sailors throughout the fleet and the knowledge they will have in becoming well-crafted in their respective fields.” Creation for the app began in September 2019, with more than five months of testing conducted by CSS staff and fleet SMEs designed to help achieve maximum functionality, review the app’s content and examine the user interface. “The effort taken by everyone involved in the creation of this app cannot be measured,” said Ray Paradis, CSS program manager for Non-Resident Training Courses, Personnel Qualification Standards, Occupational Standards and Learning and Development Roadmaps. “Countless man-hours have been put in to ensure this contains the best possible material. The Sailor conducting the tasks in these manuals on a daily basis are who is going to use this app and each one of them deserves the highest-quality work we can possibly provide.” The app was designed in coordination with the MyNavy HR IT Solutions – (Mobility Program) and Tracen Technologies. The app can be downloaded at the Navy App Locker, Google Play or iOS App stores using the keyword “CSS NRTC.”

A new bipartisan bill hopes to ease military service members' path towards student loan forgiveness, Yahoo Finance has learned. “Service members take enormous risks to protect our freedoms, and it is unacceptable that members of the military can return home after active duty and not be any closer to receiving loan forgiveness,” Senator Hassan said in a statement provided to Yahoo Finance. “This bipartisan bill is a commonsense fix to help some of our country’s most deserving public servants get out from under the burden of their student debt more quickly.”

From Cheryl Dengler, Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center PENSACOLA, Fla. - During the global pandemic, select Chief Petty Officers from around the globe adapted to a virtual process of reviewing and developing Navy-wide advancement examinations—though a return to normalcy is on the horizon.

– Perhaps no one better understands the unique administrative hurdles that come with being a Navy Reserve Sailor — or is better suited to help fix them — than Cmdr. Julie McGill. Over a career spanning four decades, McGill has seen Navy Reserve pay and personnel processes and systems evolve from a system of clipboards, carbon copies, drill chits and paper paychecks to the more modern-day integration of online functions such as the Defense Travel System (DTS), Enhanced Drill Management (EDM) and direct deposit. Yet one constant through the years has been the distinct separation between active and Reserve component pay and personnel systems — an electronic divide that still causes frequent delays and headaches for Reserve component members transferring to and from active duty.

Of significant importance, Congress amended the SCRA in August 2020 to extend lease protections to SMs who were or are unable to proceed on their military orders due to a Stop Movement Order (SMO) issued on March 1, 2020, by the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF). The following protections apply: a. Property (premises) leases may be terminated if they were executed by or on behalf of a person who thereafter and during the term of the lease: (1) Enters military service; (2) While in the military service, executes the property lease and thereafter receives military orders for a permanent change of station (PCS) or to deploy with a military unit, or as an individual in support of a military operation, for a period of not less than 90 days; or (3) While in the military service, executes a property lease at their new Permanent Duty Station after receipt of a PCS or orders to deploy with a military unit, or as an individual in support of a military operation, for a period of not less than 90 days, but are unable to occupy the premises due to a SMO issued by the SECDEF. b.

Other rights and protections available to SMs and their dependents under the SCRA: a. The maximum amount of interest creditors can charge SMs on certain financial obligations incurred prior to military service cannot exceed six percent per year. b. In any civil proceeding where the defendant SM is aware of the proceeding but current military duty requirements materially affect the SMs ability to appear in court, the SM can request the court delay the proceedings. c. In any civil proceeding where a defendant SM is not aware of the proceeding, the plaintiff must file a court affidavit stating the defendant is either: (1) in the military service; (2) not in the military service; or (3) the plaintiff is unable to determine the military status of the defendant after a good faith search effort. d. A court is prohibited from making permanent revisions to a custody order based solely on a SMs pending or potential military deployment. e. Landlords and property managers cannot evict SMs or their dependents during a period of military service without a court order. f. During a SMs period of military service, and for one year after the period of military service, creditors cannot foreclose on a SMs mortgage without first obtaining a court order. g. If the SM paid a deposit on a vehicle or made at least one installment payment on a vehicle loan, a creditor cannot repossess the vehicle during the SMs period of military service without a court order. h. During the period of a SMs military service and for 90 days thereafter, any lien against the property or the personal effects of a SM cannot be enforced without a court order. i. During the period of military service or within 180 days of termination of or release from military service, SMs can apply to a court for relief from any obligation or liability incurred before the SMs military service or from a tax or assessment becoming due before or during the SMs military service. If the SMs ability to comply with the obligation or pay such tax has been materially affected by reason of military service, the court may stay enforcement of certain real estate contracts, any other obligations, liabilities, tax, or assessments. j. SMs shall neither lose nor acquire residency or domicile for tax or voting purposes in a state if their presence in such state is solely for compliance with military orders. k. Spouses of SMs shall neither lose nor acquire residency or domicile for tax or voting purposes in a state if their presence in such state is solely to co-locate with the SM. For any taxable year of the marriage starting in 2018, the spouse of a SM may elect to use the same residence for tax purposes as the SM regardless of the date on which the marriage occurred. 4. SMs or their dependents who want to know more about their SCRA rights and protections should contact their local Legal Assistance Office (LAO) for a free legal consultation. Telephone consultations are available. Local Navy LAOs can be located by visiting https://www.jag.navy.mil/legal_services/legal _services_locator_rlso.htm#COMMAND.

The Navy released the seventh set of documents from a previously classified investigation into the April 10, 1963 loss of USS Thresher and its crew of 129 sailors off the coast of New England. A freedom of information lawsuit from retired Navy Capt. James Bryant, a former Thresher-class submarine commander, compelled the Navy to release the documents on a rolling basis.

The Navy continues to utilize a conditions-based approach to personnel movement and travel to mitigate the risks associated with the coronavirus pandemic. This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) through (c), and in line with references (d) and (e) reissues guidance for a conditions-based approach to coronavirus disease 2019 personnel movement and travel. Notably, the conditions to resume unrestricted travel now rest on installation-level data regarding surrounding Department of Defense (DoD) installation, facilities and locations. To assist in identifying changes to policy and procedures, paragraphs in this NAVADMIN that include changes to the intent of previous content have [MOD] at the beginning. Delegations authorized in references (e) and (f) remain in effect. This NAVADMIN further delegates approval authority to the O-6 or GS-15 equivalent level for uncontested Permanent Change of Station (PCS) travel waivers. All commands shall continue to take specific actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 worldwide and Department of the Navy (DON) Service Members will adhere to current and subsequent Force Health Protection Guidance (FHPG), references (g) through (m) and Navy guidance provided in references (n) through (r). Immunized individuals are not required to perform Restriction of Movement (ROM) before, during or after travel within the United States unless directed, but must maintain Health Protection Measures in accordance with (IAW) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. Individuals traveling to, from or through a foreign country should comply with ROM guidance in reference (i). *ROM* and *immunized* are both defined within reference (n). For authorized travel, it is the Service Members responsibility to ensure compliance with country, state and local COVID-19 requirements to include COVID-19 testing as described in references (i) and (s). This NAVADMIN does not cancel or supersede Combatant Commander (CCDR) guidance for forces assigned or allocated to that Combatant Command (CCMD) or within that CCMD Area of Responsibility (AOR). 1.A. This guidance applies to all DON Service Members and their dependents whose travel is Government-funded, both internationally and domestically. 1.B. Except as provided below in paragraph 3.C. (exemptions), this travel guidance applies to all official travel, including temporary duty (TDY) travel; Government-funded leave travel; permanent duty travel, including permanent change of station (PCS) travel; and travel related to Authorized Departures (AD) and Ordered Departures (OD) issued by the Department of State (DOS). 1.C. Reference (n) contains authoritative guidance for all personnel and units deploying to and from homeport (originating unit location for reserve personnel). 2. [MOD] Conditions-based Approach to Unrestricted Travel. 2.A. [MOD] Conditions for unrestricted travel rest on installation-level data regarding conditions in and surrounding DoD installations, facilities and locations. 2.B. As delegated to the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) by references (e) and (f) and further delegated by this NAVADMIN, the applicable Navy Component Commander (NCC), as well as other military departments, CCDRs and the Director of Administration and Management (DA and M) for non-Navy installations, will continuously assess each DoD installation, facility or location under their purview for the feasibility of lifting travel restrictions. There are four factors that will be reported in order to make this assessment: (1) removal of local travel restrictions (Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC Lead)), (2) availability of essential services (e.g., schools, childcare, moving services) (CNIC Lead), (3) quality control/assurance capability for household goods packing and moving (Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Lead) reporting to CNIC for inclusion in weekly report as described below) and (4) favorable Health Protection Condition (HPCON) (below HPCON C) (CNIC Lead). Assessments of the criteria will include consultation with the other Services who have installations in the local surrounding area and will take into account the areas where installation personnel reside. Specifically, installations/facilities within a 50-mile commuting distance will coordinate their assessments and plans. Any Navy installation, facility or location that meets all of the criteria above, as reported by CNIC, will be assessed by the applicable NCC to determine unrestricted travel to or from these locations. The above criteria and whether or not an installation is restricted for travel will then be reported by CNIC to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD(PR)), Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Personnel Policy (DASD (MPP))(with an information copy to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) (ASN (M and RA)) staff on a weekly basis (via the Navy Operations Center (NOC)), using a pre-formatted spreadsheet provided by DASD (MPP). 2.C. Advana is the primary platform the USD(PR) will be using to track implementation of a conditions-based approach to personnel movement and travel. An extract of the Advana information required for implementation of this NAVADMIN is displayed for Navy use via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/don-covid-19-travel- tracker. 3. Personnel Movement and Travel. 3.A. [MOD] Unrestricted travel may resume between installations when both the gaining and losing installations have met the assessment criteria described in paragraph 2.B. and either the DA and M, applicable NCC (as detailed above) or the CCDRs have lifted travel restrictions for an installation. A location is considered *green* when travel restrictions are lifted. The status of travel restrictions will be posted weekly on MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/don-covid-19-travel-tracker and at https://www.defense.gov/Explore/Spotlight/Coronavirus/. 3.B. [MOD] Considerations for Unrestricted Travel. Though travel may be approved as unrestricted based on the gaining and losing locations both reflected as *green* (i.e. Travel Restrictions Lifted), risk of COVID-19 exposure may still exist during transit. COs and OICs shall review travel plans with Service Members to ensure appropriate force health protection measures are implemented, including ROM if warranted. Gaining COs (including for intermediate stops (I-stops)) shall evaluate the manner and location of travel for incoming Sailors and their immunization status to determine the necessity of ROM for each individual. Coordination among the losing command, training command en route (if applicable) and gaining command is required to determine if ROM requirements are necessary. Commands and individual Service Members shall remain vigilant and implement reasonable measures to reduce risk of exposure and infection where appropriate. 3.B.1. PCS. At least 30 days prior to Service Members executing PCS orders, the losing command shall check the status of losing and gaining locations in MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/don-covid-19- travel-tracker. If both gaining and losing locations are *green*, no waiver is required and normal PCS procedures apply. If either gaining or losing locations are not *green*, then the procedures in paragraph 4 apply and the losing command should contact the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) Career Management Pillar Branch (PERS-4) Placement Officer or Placement Coordinator to determine whether an orders modification (ORDMOD) or waiver is more appropriate. 3.B.2. Other Official Travel (Meetings, Conferences, Site Visits, etc.). Prior to issuing a set of temporary duty (TDY) orders, COs or OICs shall review MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/don-covid-19- travel-tracker. If both the gaining and losing locations are *green*, no waiver is required and normal TDY procedures apply. If either the gaining or losing locations are not *green*, then the procedures in paragraph 4 apply. 3.B.3. Travel for Official Training. COs or OICs (for training not associated with a set of PCS orders) or Training Command COs or OICs (for training associated with a set of PCS orders) shall check the status of a training location, I-stop or ultimate duty location via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/don-covid-19-travel-tracker before allowing a Navy Service Member to execute travel. If the gaining, I-stop (if applicable), and losing locations are *green*, no waiver is required and normal TDY or PCS procedures apply. If either the gaining, I-stop or losing locations are not *green*, then the procedures in paragraph 4 apply. 3.B.4. Locations not reflected on MyNavy Portal. For PCS or TDY considered in paragraphs 3.B.1. through 3.B.3., if a location is not listed in the DON COVID-19 Travel Tracker on MyNavy Portal, the decision to allow unrestricted travel should be made based on the status of the closest DoD installation, facility or location. 3.B.5. Changes in Status. As assessments are made weekly, a change in status may occur prior to travel. If a Service Member was approved for travel and either one or both locations then turn *red* (i.e. travel restrictions in place) prior to departure/return, travel would then require a waiver (in line with paragraph 4.D.) or ORDMOD for PCS travel. For PCS travel, the losing command should contact the PERS-4 Placement Officer or Placement Coordinator to determine whether a waiver or ORDMOD is more appropriate. 3.C. Exemptions. The following circumstances are exempt from travel restrictions per reference (d): 3.C.1. Travel associated with uniformed personnel recruiting and accessions activities, to include accessions, basic training, advanced military individual training and follow-on travel to the first duty station. 3.C.2. Travel by patients (to include those on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL)), as well as their authorized escorts and attendants, for purposes of medical treatment. Travel by medical providers for the purposes of medical treatment for DoD personnel and their families is also authorized. 3.C.3. Travel for Global Force Management (GFM) activities (defined as deployments/redeployments ordered in the GFM Allocation Plan (GFMAP) and CCMD Assigned Force Demand Tasking, including Service internal rotations to support and TDY used to source ordered capabilities). Such travel to execute Operations, Activities and Investments or Service-related training will be coordinated between the CCDR, the Joint Staff (JS) and the appropriate military department. All GFM-scheduled deployments/redeployments of U.S. Navy vessels and embarked units and personnel are authorized, provided they have met the ROM guidance set forth in references (n) and any applicable subsequent guidance. 3.C.4. Travel authorized by the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), to continue execution of the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise as required to project and sustain the Joint Force globally. This includes forces (aircrews, vessel crews and mission essential personnel) ordered on prepare-to-deploy orders alert status, air refueling, global patient movement, mortuary affairs support, inland surface, sea and air sustainment missions, support to other U.S. Agencies (as approved by the Secretary of Defense (SecDef)) and moves of personnel and equipment that support USTRANSCOM global posture requirements. 3.C.5. Travel by military personnel pending retirement or separation. Specific to Navy Service Members, travel is authorized to take terminal leave. 3.C.6. Travel by those under authority of a Chief of Mission and authorized by that Chief of Mission. Travel from locations where the DoS has issued an OD, and return travel from safe havens when the DoS has terminated an OD or AD. 3.C.7. Travel to and from Professional Military Education Programs (defined by Navy as in-resident graduate education including in-resident Joint Professional Military Education (JPME)). 3.C.8. Personal leave and liberty travel outside of the local area is exempt from COVID-19 related travel restrictions. Approval authority for leave outside of the local area will be determined by the echelon 2 commander, but may be delegated by the echelon 2 commander to no lower than the unit CO, OIC or equivalent (Branch Head, Division Director, etc.). 3.C.8.a. [MOD] Commanders and supervisors will follow the procedures in reference (i) to include conducting a risk assessment of the health status and travel itinerary for Navy Service Members requesting leave or liberty outside the local area. Navy Service Members will comply with any DoD, component, federal, state and local restrictions while in a leave/liberty status. The DoD COVID-19 Travel Information App (https://covid-status.data.mil) provides useful tools to assist with making risk informed decisions on approving leave and implementing the appropriate mitigation measures when individuals return from leave. 4. [MOD] Restricted Travel Policy. This portion of the NAVADMIN applies to areas where travel restrictions are in place (i.e. *red*). All personnel should follow federal, state and local (including host nation) direction, as well as direction from their chain of command, including observing *Stay at Home* orders if in effect, maximizing telework based on mission priorities and practicing social distancing. Reference (t) provides additional guidance on exemption from state and local executive orders if necessary to ensure continuity of critical functions. Do not restrict mission essential travel by immunized individuals unless unusual conditions call for immunized travel to be restricted (e.g. close contact with a COVID positive greater than 3 months after immunization). 4.A. PCS 4.A.1. Execution of PCS orders from or to locations where travel is restricted requires a waiver IAW paragraph 4.D. 4.A.2. A local PCS move may be executed without a waiver since it does not involve travel outside of the local area. Same geographic location PCS moves will only be executed with due regard to the operational readiness of the commands involved. Losing and gaining commands are encouraged to coordinate with placement coordinators and detailers in PERS-4 as required. PERS-4 shall adjudicate same geographic location PCS move decisions in situations where losing and gaining commands do not agree on an execution timeline. This adjudication may be delegated, but no lower than the O-6 Division Director level at PERS-4. 4.B. Other Official Travel (Meetings, Conferences, Site Visits, etc.). All other official travel by Navy Service Members from or to an area where travel is restricted will require a waiver IAW paragraph 4.D. Navy Reserve personnel will follow guidance promulgated by the Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR) in references (u) and (v). 4.C. Travel for Official Training. 4.C.1. Navy Service Members traveling to attend formal training from or to an area where travel is restricted will require a waiver IAW paragraph 4.D. Advance coordination with the training command is required prior to travel. Service Members will comply with reference (n) and any NCC guidance concerning pre- and post- travel medical screening and reception procedures, to include ROM if applicable. 4.C.2. [MOD] Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) Learning Centers will continue to support Fleet mission-essential training to the maximum extent possible while minimizing risk to force and balancing risk to mission, strictly abiding by CDC, DoD and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) guidance in the classroom/trainer environment. For all accession level courses, ROM shall be required before commencing training unless students are immunized or arrive via bubble-to-bubble/protected travel. For all other courses, ROM will not be required for immunized personnel. For others not immunized, ROM will be at the discretion of the schoolhouse COs based on risk to force. Fleet units shall coordinate ROM requirements, if required, with the schoolhouse before permitting student travel. Type Commanders (TYCOMS) should validate each individual training requirements mission-essentiality in light of the risk to force, and then coordinate with NETC to implement risk mitigations (i.e., reduced throughput, extra course convenings, ROM, etc.). 4.D. Travel Restriction Waivers. Waivers to travel restrictions may be granted in writing in cases where the travel is: 1) Determined to be mission-essential, 2) Necessary for humanitarian reasons or 3) Warranted due to extreme hardship. These waivers are to be executed on a case-by-case basis, must be determined to be in the best interest of the U.S. Government and shall be coordinated between the gaining and losing organizations. Mission-essential travel refers to work that must be performed to ensure the continued operations of mission-essential functions, including positions that are deemed key and essential, as determined by the responsible DoD Component. 4.D.1. Commands shall maintain a record of all travel waivers granted. Waivers granted prior to the date time group of this NAVADMIN under references (a) and (b) are still valid. 4.D.2. COs and OICs may request a waiver via their chain of command to paragraphs 4.A. through 4.C. Approval authority for waivers belongs to the CCDR if the individual is assigned or allocated to a CCMD, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) if the individual is assigned to the JS, the DA and M for personnel in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Defense Agencies, DoD Field Activities (and any other DoD entities not listed in this paragraph) and finally to the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) for personnel under his jurisdiction. In line with reference (e) and modified by reference (f), SECNAV has delegated this authority to the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and this NAVADMIN delegates waiver approval as follows: 4.D.2.a. [MOD] PCS travel waiver requests shall be submitted for all Service Members with written orders if either gaining or losing command have travel restrictions in place (i.e. *red*). Gaining and losing commands will endorse concurrence or non- concurrence. If both the gaining and losing command concur with the waiver (i.e. waiver is uncontested), the gaining command, at a level no lower than O-6 or civilian equivalent, is delegated the authority to approve travel waivers for Navy Service Member PCS travel in paragraphs 4.A. and 4.C (training associated with PCS orders). Approval authority is responsible for submitting the approved waiver to PERS-4 for tracking purposes and notifying the losing command. All contested waivers will be adjudicated by PERS-4. Approvals or disapprovals of contested waiver requests shall be made via message traffic to all concerned and will specify whether dependents are authorized to accompany the Navy Service Member. All approved waivers and contested waiver requests shall be submitted to pers451(at)navy.mil with the subject line PCS WAIVER APPROVAL or PCS WAIVER REQUEST as applicable. Waiver request formats are posted on MyNavy Portal. Navy Service Members who are granted a waiver should review the latest version of COVID-19 Standard Operational Guidance and FHPGs. 4.D.2.b. Authority to approve or deny travel waivers for Navy Service Members in the case of: (1) official travel in paragraph 4.B., and (2) official training, not associated with a PCS, in paragraph 4.C. is delegated to the echelon 2 commander. The echelon 2 commander may further delegate waiver authority, but no lower than the first O-6 or a civilian equivalent in the chain of command of the Service Member. Those who are granted a waiver will comply with the NCC guidance concerning pre- and post- travel screening and reception procedures. 5. Points of Contact. 5.A. Sailor Support. Service Members with questions regarding this NAVADMIN should contact the MyNavy Career Center (1-833-330- 6622) or e-mail askmncc(at)navy.mil. 5.B. Medical Questions. BUMED Watch: 703-681-1087/1125 or NIPR e-mail: usn.ncr.bumedfchva.list.bumed---2019-ncov-response- cell(at)mail.mil. 6. Additional Resources: 6.A. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Coronavirus Guidance: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html 6.B. DoD Coronavirus Guidance: https://www.defense.gov/Explore/Spotlight/Coronavirus/Latest-DOD- Guidance/ 6.C. U.S. Navy COVID-19 Updates: https://www.navy.mil/US-Navy- COVID-19- Updates/ 7. This conditions-based approach prioritizes the health and safety of our personnel, their families and our communities, while balancing mission requirements, the need to advance Navy Service Member career opportunities and other imperatives. COs and OICs must continuously review current HPCON, FHPG supplements and Service Member immunization status when making risk informed decisions such as holding in-person conferences or determining the maximum size of gatherings. It is incumbent upon COs and OICs to balance risk to mission and risk to force to ensure we, as a Navy, can continue to meet our mission while simultaneously preventing the spread of COVID-19 within the Navy and the communities we live in to the greatest extent possible. 8.

MYSTIC, Conn. (Tribune News Service) — A spry 82-year-old, David Cornell has compiled abundant evidence of a life fully lived: his life. It's all in a binder thick with certificates, patches, official correspondence and photographs, each page sheathed in protective plastic. He's written his obituary, too, along with a list of who should be notified when he dies; some passages that should be spoken at his wake (and who should speak them); and instructions about how his ashes should be spread over a certain expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.

Last year's gargantuan $2.3 trillion appropriations bill did a couple very obvious things: it provided millions of Americans badly needed coronavirus relief aid and it averted an impending government shutdown. It also dealt with ... UFOs.

Why would it not be?

The Navy is overhauling its Sea Shore Flow policy and wants Sailors’ opinions on what might entice them into taking and staying in critical sea duty billets. Your chance to sound off starts March 17th and your response just might impact the rest of your career and those of Sailors coming up the ranks behind you. Balancing the needs of the Navy with the desires of Sailors has long been the goal but was always difficult to achieve due to more gaps at sea than Sailors available to fill them. The result has been multiple overhauls and sea tour length updates over the last three decades, all in attempt to better man the Fleet and provide Sailors a reasonable work/life balance. The Navy needs to give commands higher manning levels maintained throughout the entire Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) cycle, including the maintenance and training phases, while also rewarding Sailors for assignment to high-value jobs at sea. Your input will help the Navy identify new opportunities and incentives Sailors value most. Options such as increased advancement opportunities, as well as monetary and non-monetary incentives, are all being considered. These could end up as packages of perks offered Sailors during the detailing process. If you have an idea or an opinion, now's your chance to make a difference. The survey takes roughly 30 minutes and is available at https://go.max.gov/dod/seashore. Some Sailors, such as those in the 22 most sea intensive ratings, will also get an email request to take the survey. This will come from Max.gov and is not a phishing attempt. The link in the email will take you to the same survey site. The survey is only open to active-duty Sailors. To access the site, they must enter their Department of Defense ID number located on the back of their ID card to prove their active component status. Once in the survey, all responses are confidential. Leadership wants candid responses, so none will tracked back to individual Sailors. Only aggregated responses from Sailor opinions and ideas will be in the final report. The survey results are expected to be released later this fiscal year and the Navy hopes to field its new policy as soon thereafter.
