PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) announced Jan. 9 the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY-22) Advanced Education Voucher (AEV) program. The AEV program provides financial assistance to selected senior enlisted personnel (E-7 to E-9) to complete post-secondary, Navy-relevant degrees through off-duty education. “The AEV program supports the continued educational development of senior enlisted leaders to support the Navy our nation needs,” said Tom Smith, NETC AEV program manager. “The program provides the Navy's chief, senior chief and master chief petty officers a platform to pursue higher education that makes them more effective leaders along with enhancing their technical competencies in our ever-changing operational environments.” Senior Chief Yeoman Christopher Aberle, senior enlisted leader, Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Hampton Roads, who earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Saint Leo University in December 2020, encourages other senior enlisted leaders to apply to the AEV program. “Any senior enlisted leader who is slightly interested in college and meets the AEV requirements should jump at this opportunity,” said Aberle. Aberle continued to say that although the AEV program might be intimidating, it is well worth the time and effort in achieving your educational goals. “I am a high school dropout, who earned my GED diploma in boot camp,” said Aberle. “I told myself that school was not for me, but I worked on my associate degree and took a break; pursued my bachelor’s degree and took a break; and now I completed my MBA after 20 years of naval service. If I can do it, so can you.” Chief Special Warfare Operator John Staton, training department leading chief petty officer at an East Coast-based SEAL team, who earned an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in May 2019, echoed Aberle’s comments on the value of the AEV program and offered a piece of advice. “Ensure that you have the full support of your command and that you will have the time available to complete the program in the stated timeline,” said Staton. Who is eligible? Applicants must be top performing active-duty senior enlisted personnel (E-7 to E-9) who are transferring to, or currently on shore duty with sufficient time ashore to complete a baccalaureate or master's degree program. Applicants on sea duty may apply provided they submit an education plan that shows the ability to complete the degree program as specified above. How many quotas are available? The AEV program has 10 quotas – five bachelor degrees and five master degrees – available for FY-22. What Navy-relevant degrees are included in the AEV program? Degrees considered for the baccalaureate program include: • Strategic Foreign Languages • Construction Management • Emergency and Disaster Management • Human Resources • Paralegal, Leadership and Management • Engineering • Information Technology • Nursing • Business Administration • Electrical and Electronic Technology Degrees considered for the master’s program include: • Emergency and Disaster Management • Human Resources • Project Management • Engineering and Technology • Systems Analysis • Information Technology • Homeland Defense and Security • Leadership and Management • Business Administration • Education and Training Management Degree programs other than those listed above must be validated as a Navy-relevant degree by the NETC AEV program manager. How much funding does the Navy provide? Participants in the AEV Program will be provided funds for tuition, books, and related fees for completion of their advanced degrees within the following limits: • Bachelor’s degree: Funding limits are a maximum of $6,700 per fiscal year for up to 36 months from the date of signing a letter of acceptance, not to exceed $20,000 total program cost. • Master’s degree: Funding limits are a maximum of $20,000 per fiscal year for up to 24 months from the date of signing a letter of acceptance, not to exceed $40,000 total program cost. When does the program begin? Applicants should be available to commence their studies in the 2021 fall term (after Oct. 1, 2021). Is there a service obligation? Participants shall agree to remain on active duty for a period equal to three times the number of months of education completed or three years, whichever is less. What is the submission deadline? Deadline for applying for the FY-22 AEV program is May 24, 2021. Applications should be e-mailed to the program manager. Where can I get additional information on the program? Additional information about the AEV program is at https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/common-resources/education-voucher-programs.htm or by contacting Thomas Smith, NETC N525, at (850) 452-7271/DSN 459-7271, or via e-mail at thomas.a.smith4@navy.mil

REF B IS SECNAV MEMORANDUM 07DEC20, DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.// RMKS/1. This ALNAV announces changes to the Department of the Navy's (DON) Tuition Assistance (TA) Program. TA is designed to expand the professional development opportunities and enhance degree completion of Sailors and Marines. 2. Annual TA Funding updates. a. To improve Sailor and Marine education opportunities, the DON will implement a consistent 18 credit hour limit per Sailor/Marine, per year, for the TA program beginning in Fiscal Year 2022, consistent with Department of Defense (DoD) policy and guidance. b. Effective 1 October 2021, in accordance with reference (a), DoD policy directs a TA semester hour cap of $250 and a $4,500 annual limit. c. TA will continue to be paid up to the DoD established limits, currently set at $250 per semester hour, $166.67 per quarter hour, or $16.67 per clock hour. Tuition exceeding these limits, in addition to fees, books, and instructional materials, will continue to be the responsibility of the Sailor and Marine. 3. Maximizing TA opportunity is an investment in our Sailors and Marines, which is consistent with our message that learning and professional growth are not only available, they are expected of senior leaders. a. Sailors and Marines with currently approved education plans at high cost schools may benefit from comparison-shopping to get better value under this expanded authority, potentially saving money, and preserve GI Bill benefits if they have been constrained by previous limits. b. This change affords Sailors and Marines more control and flexibility in their pursuit of higher education. For example, Service Members can now choose to pursue more credits on shore duty and fewer while on operational tours, striking a better work-life balance. This can be further enhanced if Service Members choose more cost-effective schools. c. Additionally, all Sailors and Marines are encouraged to take full advantage of their eligibility to earn college credit through the College Level Exam Program and Subject Standardized Tests exams offered through the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Services, which can further stretch their TA dollars. 4. This ALNAV will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 5. Released by the Honorable Kenneth J. Braithwaite, Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

The new program provides service members with the option to pay their debt on a mobile device or computer using a debit card, electronic funds transfer (EFT) or via a PayPal account. Credit cards will not be accepted through this program, and PayPal can only be used if linked to a debit card or bank account. Until now, service members were required to repay TA debt using a cashier’s check, money order or a payroll transaction—a process that took anywhere from a week to 45 days, according to Tim Driggers, Voluntary Education Business Operations division head. “This is the first time since the beginning of the tuition assistance program in the mid-nineties that we’ve done electronic debt payments,” said Driggers. “The service members can pay with their bank account using a smartphone as opposed to putting a check in the mail. Since the pilot program began, we’ve seen a reduction in checks by about 60% by doing e-billing on a weekly basis.” The new capability not only benefits the accounting system, but the service member as well. “We saw a debt get paid within two hours of service member notification,” said Driggers. “This allows the service member to be in good standing again, so that the TA is available for use immediately.” The process is streamlined and simple to use for the service members, according to Fred Morales, the TA Collections branch head. “Once an indebtedness occurs due to a collectible grade, and provided the course has been invoiced by an academic institution, the service member will receive an email with instructions directing them to Pay.gov where they can make the payment electronically,” said Morales. “It’s very easy to use.” In most cases, debt transactions will be posted to the member’s WebTA account by TA Accounting the next business day after the service member pays their TA debt using Pay.gov If a debt payment is not made within 45 days, a file will be sent to Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) to cancel the e-bill, and the debt amount will be taken from the service member through payroll deduction. For more information regarding the repayment of TA debts, please call: 1-877-838-1659, option 4.

PENSACOLA, Florida—NAVADMIN 326/20 announced the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) administration dates for Active-Duty and Full-Time Support E-5 and E-6 candidates for the upcoming March 2021 advancement cycle (Cycle 251). Sailors taking exams will likely see similar procedures used as they did during the 2020 fall cycle as the Navy continues to ensure the safety of all Sailors during the COVID-19 pandemic. For E-5 and E-6 candidates, exams will be administered using testing windows vice the single-day testing used prior to the pandemic. This provides commands the ability to administer the exam with fewer Sailors in any one room and therefore maximize social distancing. E-6 candidate exams will be administered during a testing window of 1-15 March 2021. E-5 candidate exams will be administered during a testing window of 16-31 March 2021. E-4 candidates will not participate in the advancement exam administrations. Instead, the opportunity for advancement will be based on an alternative Final Multiple Score (FMS) rank-order method. “For Cycle 251 E-4 candidates, an alternative FMS will be calculated but will not take an exam into account,” said Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Command Master Chief Greg Prichard. “Since no exam will be taken, it is very important for Sailors and educational services officers (ESOs) to ensure that E-4 candidate Sailors complete their enlisted advancement worksheet in Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System per Cycle 251 NAVADMIN guidance.” Another important date for Cycle 251 candidates is the Professional Military Knowledge-Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) completion deadline. Sailors must successfully pass the online exam prior to 1 February 2021. PMK-EE completion is required once per paygrade. Once exams are administered, ESOs are encouraged to expeditiously mail in answer sheet packages from each exam administration to NETPDC and not hold exam answer sheets until the end of the testing window. This will ensure exam answer sheets are processed efficiently and results are released in a timely manner. All questions concerning exam ordering and discrepancy corrections should be directed to the points of contact listed in NAVADMIN 326/20.

As a continued safety measure due to the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, E-4 advancement candidates will not participate in an exam, but will be given the opportunity for advancement using an alternative FMS rank-order method, without the inclusion of an exam score from a proctored exam. E-5 and E-6 advancement candidates will be administered the NWAE utilizing testing windows vice single-day testing. These expanded testing windows will allow for smaller groups of test takers to ensure adequate social distancing can be maintained between testers at testing facilities, while maintaining the high standards and continued culture of learning that drive our enlisted advancement system.

I create the below thread to hopefully get any info on cycle 248 and 107, this has been a strange one. The last someone mentioned to me was the 18th but that is only scuttlebutt. https://forum.navyadvancement.com/topic/5842-sept-navy-advancement-e5-~-e6-adfts-selres-quotas-results-cycle-248-107/

From Naval Education and Training Command and PMW-240 Public Affairs PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Navy is making financial literacy training more accessible to Sailors via the Navy e-Learning (NeL) website and an updated mobile application. In response to the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act that mandated the Department of Defense provide service members with additional financial literacy training, the Navy developed financial readiness that address the required-learning objectives for all of the personal and professional touchpoints across the military lifecycle. “Though not developed with something like COVID-19 in mind, the new online Navy e-Learning financial readiness touchpoint training courses and the upcoming MyNavy Financial Literacy app touchpoint training feature will give our Sailors greater flexibility, especially in today’s environment, in satisfying the financial literacy touchpoint training requirements,” said John Hunt, lead program analyst, 21st Century Sailor Office (OPNAV N17). “The Navy recognizes that the personal financial readiness of our Sailors is critical to mission readiness and the implementation of these new training resources greatly aids this cause.” The first touchpoint is "Initial Entry Training" whereby financial literacy training is provided at boot camp and life skills courses for enlisted Sailors and during the officer accessions training pipeline for officers. The other touchpoints include: - First permanent duty station - Permanent change of station (O-3 and below, E-4 and below) - Promotion (O-4 and below, E-5 and below) - Vesting in Thrift Savings Plan (under Blended Retirement System [BRS] upon completion of two years of service) - Entitlement to continuation pay (under BRS) - Marriage - Divorce - Birth of first child - Disabling sickness or condition - Pre- and post-deployment - Leadership training - Transition of the service member from Active or Reserve components, separation or retirement NeL courses now address all of the mandatory financial literacy touchpoints, excluding the “Initial Entry Training” and “Transition” touchpoints. The officer/enlisted accession pipelines and the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) class address these two touchpoints. Sailors can find these courses on NeL at https://learning.nel.navy.mil/ELIAASv2p/ by searching for the title “touchpoint” under the Course Catalog tab. A command financial specialist or a Fleet and Family Support Center personal financial manager can also provide in-person financial readiness touchpoint training. Sailors can find in-person training resources and information on the General Military Training webpage on MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/general-skills-training/gmt/ or at the Department of Defense Office of Financial Readiness website's Navy Resources webpage at https://finred.usalearning.gov/SPL/Training/NavyResource. Additionally, the Navy will update its MyNavy Financial Literacy application in late December 2020 to host the NeL financial readiness touchpoint training courses. Sailors will also be able to submit course completion certificates directly to their Electronic Training Jacket through the application. For more information on financial literacy education, visit the 21st Century Sailor webpages on Navy Personnel Command’s website at https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/21st_Century_Sailor/readiness/Pages/Personal-Financial-Management.aspx

AUSTIN, Texas – The Navy has hired two special education lawyers as part of a three-year pilot program to expand support for service members enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program.
