RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) through (c) and
mandates the use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher and the Government
Travel Charge Card (GTCC) for Permanent Change of Station (PCS)
travel in accordance with the timelines listed in paragraph 2. The
MyPCS Travel Voucher is a fully automated, electronic travel claim
voucher capability introduced to the Fleet in 2019. Its use has
streamlined the travel claim process, increasing accuracy and
reducing processing timelines. The GTCC has also been authorized
for PCS travel since 2019. These efforts are a proven capability
providing Sailors and their families a reliable mean of financial
support during and after a PCS move. These represent another MyNavy
HR milestone toward delivering better quality of service to Sailors
and their families through a modernized pay and personnel process.
Reference (d) provides information and guidance to reinforce
procedures for using the GTCC during a PCS travel.
2. Timeline. On 01 Jan 2022, Phase I of the mandatory use of the
MyPCS Travel Voucher and GTCC for PCS travel was implemented for all
Active Duty (AD) and Training and Administration of the Reserve
(TAR) in paygrades E-9 and O-6 and above. Mandatory use of the
MyPCS Travel Voucher and GTCC for PCS will expand to other paygrades
as reflected below.
a. MyPCS Travel Voucher: 01 Jul 2022, all AD and TAR Service
Members in all paygrades are required to use the MyPCS Travel
Voucher for submission of PCS travel claims, except for members
reporting to commands listed in paragraph 10c. Mandated use of the
MyPCS Travel Voucher was previously expanded to include Selected
Reservists executing Active Duty for Operational Support and Officer
Recall PCS orders.
b. GTCC Phase II: 01 Jul 2022, all Service Members in paygrades
E-7 and above and O-4 and above will be required to use the GTCC for
PCS travel expenses.
c. GTCC Phase III: 01 Jan 2023, all Service Members in all
paygrades will be required to use the GTCC for PCS travel expenses.
3. Policy
a. Use of the GTCC for PCS travel applies to personnel traveling
on both Continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS (OCONUS)
PCS orders who are:
(1) Active Duty
(2) Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR)
(3) Selected Reservists (SELRES) executing Active Duty for
Operational Support (ADOS) and Officer Recall PCS orders
b. Use of the GTCC for PCS travel does not apply to:
(1) Personnel on accession, separation, or retirement orders
(2) DoD Civilian personnel and contractors
(3) Individual mobilization augmentees
(4) Individual Ready Reserve Navy personnel
(5) Individuals not eligible to obtain a GTCC or are otherwise
explicitly exempted by reference (e)
c. New accessions eligible to receive a GTCC will apply for and
receive their GTCC upon check-in at their first Permanent Duty
Station (PDS).
4. Actions and Responsibilities.
a. Commanders and supervisors. Ensure Agency Program
Coordinators (APC), Command Pay and Personnel Administrators
(CPPA), and GTCC cardholders adhere to all applicable instructions.
Commanders and supervisors at all levels are responsible for
ensuring compliance with Section 040103 of reference (e).
b. APCs. APCs shall be reflected on command check-in and check-
out sheets.
(1) Losing command. APCs will consult with all Service
Members during the check-out process and advise them of the rules,
regulations, and requirement to use the GTCC for PCS travel for all
authorized expenses (paragraph 5). In accordance with reference
(e), APCs shall verify the cardholders GTCC is active, in a Mission
Critical (MC)/PCS status, and has a zero balance prior to the
Service Member detaching from the command. Credit, retail, and cash
withdrawal limits above the default limits in reference (e) must be
adjusted to accommodate requirements for the duration of PCS travel.
If the APCs approval maximum is insufficient for the duration and
requirements of PCS travel, the affected APC shall consult the next
higher APC hierarchy level for further consideration. APCs shall
provide MC/PCS status expiration date and advise the Service Member
to call MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) to renew MC/PCS status every 90
days as necessary.
(2) Gaining command. Upon arrival at the gaining command,
APCs will ensure the cardholders account is transferred into the
gaining command hierarchy and account status adjustments are made to
update the members phone number, email address, physical mailing
address or other pertinent information which changed due to the
move. Under no circumstances should an APC either close a
cardholders GTCC account or remove the cardholder from MC/PCS
status, as it will have negative effects on the timeline towards
delinquency.
c. CPPAs. The CPPA shall be reflected on command check-in and
check-out sheets. Gaining command CPPAs shall ensure members submit
their MyPCS Travel Vouchers within five working days of arrival.
d. Cardholders. Service Members using the GTCC for official
government travel are encouraged to register on Citimanager
(https://home.cards.citidirect.com/CommercialCard/login). Failure to use the
GTCC for authorized PCS expenses may subject the cardholder to appropriate
administrative or disciplinary action.
(1) Before travel: During check out with the APC/CPPA, the
Service Member shall provide a copy of their PCS orders, estimated
PCS expenses and a contact number where the Service Member can be
reached during travel.
(2) During travel: Service Members shall keep receipts for all
reimbursable expenses. Cardholders who have reached their credit
limit or experience a declined GTCC when attempting to make an
authorized purchase should call MNCC for assistance to raise their
credit limit or to determine if a Merchant Category Code (MCC) block
may restrict that vendor. Service Members will be reimbursed for
PCS expenses up to their maximum entitlement per reference (f).
Overspending of entitlements may result in personal indebtedness and
the cardholder will be subject to repaying the remaining balance on
the GTCC.
(3) Extended PCS travel (>120 days): Cardholder accounts are
placed in a MC/PCS status while a Service Member is traveling to
their new PDS. MC/PCS status protects the Service Member from any
payments being due on the GTCC until 60 days after coming out of
MC/PCS status. Citibank program limitations only allow accounts to
be in a MC/PCS status for 120 days at a time. To prevent the
Citibank bill from coming due prior to the Service Member reporting
to their PDS, Service Members must contact their detaching command
APC or MNCC Pro Cell at (833-330-MNCC) Option 2 to have their MC/PCS
status extended. Failure to extend the account in MC/PCS status may
result in the Service Member being placed in a past due or
delinquent status and ultimately lead to loss of GTCC privileges and
potential damage to personal credit rating.
(4) Upon check-in to PDS: Cardholders shall review their GTCC
account for accuracy and ensure all supporting receipts are
submitted using the MyPCS Travel Voucher to ensure sufficient funds
are allocated to pay the full balance on the card when the travel
claim is liquidated. Service Members shall check-in with the APC
and CPPA to submit their travel voucher using MyPCS Travel Voucher
within five working days and before executing any permissive TDY.
Split disbursement is mandatory when using GTCC for PCS.
(5) To verify full payment has been completed upon MyPCS
Travel Voucher liquidation, Service Members shall review their
Advice of Payment in MyPay.
(6) MNCC will verify GTCC balance when liquidating travel
claims to result in a zero balance on the GTCC. This may result in
per diem funds being applied to produce a zero balance.
(7) Service Members should verify their GTCC balance on Citi
Manager has been paid in full after their travel has been
liquidated.
(8) Individual cardholders are responsible for timely payment
of their GTCC balance. Any outstanding balance on the GTCC must be
paid within 60 days of coming out of MC/PCS status. Account
delinquency may adversely impact the Service Members assignability,
financial health, security clearance, or credit history. Accounts
become past due 31 days after checking in to the command. On Day
61, the GTCC is suspended. On Day 75, the cardholder is charged a
29.00 per month late fee. On Day 126, the member is submitted for
enrollment in Salary Offset and on Day 211, Citibank may charge off
the debt which could affect the cardholders credit.
5. Authorized and unauthorized uses of the GTCC for PCS travel.
a. Service Members should note PCS travel expenses are not
necessarily directly reimbursed. Reimbursement is based on PCS
allowance rules in accordance with Chapter 5 of reference (f).
b. The GTCC is authorized for the following travel expenses:
(1) Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) at the old or new CONUS
PDS. See Chapter 5 of reference (f) for information on TLE.
(2) Fuel and electric vehicle charging for a Privately Owned
Vehicle (POV) when POV is the authorized mode of transportation.
(3) Rental car and fuel, when a rental car is the authorized
mode of transportation.
(4) Lodging. Service Members will be reimbursed per reference
(f) Chapter 2.
(5) Meals. Service Members will be reimbursed per reference
(f) Chapter 2.
(6) Dislocation Allowance (DLA) Expenses. These are expenses
related to DLA normally used to establish a household (e.g., carpet
cleaning, utility deposits). If the Service Member uses the GTCC
for DLA expenses and does not exceed their authorized entitlement,
the member will receive the full amount of the difference when their
travel claim is liquidated. If the Service Member was issued
advanced DLA, the member shall not use the GTCC for DLA expenses.
(7) Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or bank teller withdrawals
up to the monthly cash withdrawal limit in reference (e). A 2.4
percent non-reimbursable fee applies to any amount withdrawn. ATM
charges are not reimbursable expenses.
c. The GTCC is not authorized for the following travel expenses:
(1) DLA expenses when issued advanced DLA.
(2) Dependent use without the Service Member.
(3) Commercial airfare for PCS travel. Commercial airfare
will continue to be booked by the Navy Passenger Transportation
Office (NAVPTO). No commercial airfare charges will be made to a
Service Members GTCC account including when the Service Members
orders contain intermediate stops to PDS.
(4) Personal travel arrangements incurred during leave in
conjunction with orders. See reference (e) for further details.
(5) Personally Procured Moves (PPM) operating expenses (e.g.,
rental truck/trailers, moving supplies, furniture pads, rope, oil,
weight ticket fees).
(6) Accession, separation, or retirement travel.
(7) Payment of debt owed to creditors.
(8) Personal expenses unrelated to travel expenses (e.g.,
automobile repairs, medical expenses, childcare, entertainment, or
uniform items).
(9) Short-term storage-in-transit (SIT) or long-term non-
temporary storage (NTS) of PPMs or other household goods.
(10) Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA). In accordance with
reference (g), TLA may be authorized by the TLA Authority when a
Service Member or dependent is reporting to an OCONUS location and
needs to occupy temporary lodging at personal expense. TLA cannot
be paid for with the GTCC since it is a pay entitlement, not a
travel entitlement. Additionally, TLA expenses cannot be split
disbursed to Citibank.
6. GTCC Misuse. Commanders, supervisors, CPPAs, and APCs will
ensure Service Members using their GTCC are advised of authorized
and prohibited uses of the GTCC for PCS travel. Examples of misuse
include but are not limited to:
a. Expenses unrelated to PCS travel.
b. ATM cash withdrawals made more than three working days prior
to official government travel or excessive ATM cash withdrawals for
amounts exceeding authorized meals and incidental expense amounts.
c. Intentional failure to pay undisputed charges in a timely
manner.
d. Personal use for entertainment or gambling. Military
personnel who violate the specific prohibitions contained in
reference (e) can be subject to administrative or disciplinary
action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) based on
the nature of the misconduct involved.
7. Travel Advance Guidance.
a. If desired and qualified per reference (f), a Service Member
under PCS orders may request advanced DLA. If issued, the GTCC
shall not be used for DLA expenses.
b. Service Members may request an Advance Operating Allowance
for Household Goods (HHG) PPMs and Advance Basic Pay and still use
their GTCC for all authorized travel expenses.
c. All other travel advances (per diem, mileage, Temporary
Additional Duty (TAD) travel) are not authorized with concurrent use
of the GTCC. Qualified exceptions will be restricted to non-
concurrent travel of dependents and Service Members not eligible to
receive a GTCC per reference (e).
d. Use of the GTCC and receipt of travel advances for the same
entitlement could result in indebtedness to the Government through
over expenditure of entitlements, and Service Members may be subject
to administrative and disciplinary action.
8. TLE guidance. APCs shall ensure Service Members planning on
using TLE at their PDS remain in a MC/PCS status while using the
GTCC for TLE expenses. The Service Member shall check-in with their
CPPA immediately upon arrival and submit their MyPCS Travel Voucher
within five working days regardless of whether TLE has been used.
Service Members who use their GTCC for TLE expenses to their PDS
should file a supplemental Travel Voucher upon completion of their
temporary lodging stay via MyPCS Travel Voucher and ensure split
disbursement is annotated. Reference (f) Section 0506 details TLE
eligibility, reimbursement, and limits.
9. Dual-military PCS guidance. Dual-military Service Members
conducting concurrent PCS moves have separate Lines of Accounting
and funding allocated. Therefore, Service Members shall each use
their GTCC for respective PCS expenses (meals, fuel, etc.) in
accordance with this NAVADMIN and file separate MyPCS Travel
Vouchers for individual travel.
10. MyPCS Travel Voucher.
a. Use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher greatly reduces errors and
expedites reimbursement. It provides Service Members the ability to
submit an electronic travel voucher with photo upload functionality
for receipts using a personal or government computer, mobile device
or tablet. Additional capabilities of MyPCS Travel Voucher include
the travel entitlements calculator, lean orders, and a custom-
tailored PCS checklist for use before departure. It also gives
Service Members and CPPAs greater visibility of the status of
submitted PCS Travel Vouchers. MyPCS Travel Voucher may be accessed
via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://my.navy.mil/.
b. Effective 01 Jul 2022, use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher is
mandatory for submission of PCS travel claims. The enterprise
Customer Relationship Management (eCRM) system is a backup solution
if unable to use MyPCS Travel Voucher; however, the use of eCRM will
delay timely travel claim liquidation.
c. Use of the MyPCS Travel Voucher is not required for GTCC
users reporting to Aircraft Carriers (CVN), Submarine Tenders (AS)
and Flag Ships (LCC). MyPCS Travel Voucher will be expanded to
these commands this fall.
d. CAC-free access using a mobile device requires the Service
Member to establish a CAC-free user name and password via MNP.
Using a CAC-enabled machine, go to MNP, click "Login" in the top
right corner, select "Login Help & FAQs" from the drop-down, then
select "How do I set up CAC-free Access?" Follow directions
provided on the page. Video tutorials are available
athttps://my.navy.mil/tutorials.html. Once a CAC-free account is
established, the password is valid for 60 days.
11. Customer Support and Online Resources.
a. Phone and email support is available 24/7 from the MNCC Pro
Cell at 833-330-MNCC (6622) Option 2 or via e-mail at:
askmncc(at)navy.mil, or from Citibank (800-200-7056).
b. MNP registration for CAC-free access to MNP:

should be addressed to PERS-45 Assignment, Leave, and Travel
Business Design Owner (BDO) at gtcc_pcs.fct(at)navy.mil. Questions
regarding MyPCS Travel Voucher and issues using your GTCC during PCS
should be addressed to MNCC.

(DMAP).
REF B IS NAVADMIN 234/08, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS.
REF C IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE.RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides additional details and guidance regarding
Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) to ensure more Sailors and
commands can benefit.
a. In addition to afloat commands benefitting from experienced and
motivated Sailors staying at sea, DMAP plank owners selected in the recent
inaugural MyNavy Assignment (MNA) cycle will:
(1) Receive an increase in pay through advancement from E4 to E5, if
not already E5.
(2) Collect a monthly monetary incentive, Detailing Marketplace
Incentive Pay (DMIP), in addition to collecting sea pay and sea pay premium.
(3) Remain in the same homeport on the ship or squadron where they
trained as an Apprentice Sailor if selected for Command Advance to Position
(CA2P).
(4) Earn an advantage in MNA for a follow-on shore tour assignment
after completing their journeyman (E5) sea tour.
b. Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings (ABF, ABH, CS and
GSM) should anticipate maximum flexibility in determining who meets the
requirements of reference (a) and minimum friction in accepting a DMAP plus-
three sea tour. The MyNavy HR team will interpret every requirement within
all DMAP policy guidance to ensure the greatest possible participation.2. Projected Rotation Date (PRD) Adjustments. Effective immediately,
Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40) will adjust PRDs to a 48-month tour
for all E5 and E5 eligible Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings who are
serving in their initial Continental United States (CONUS) sea tour. This
replaces paragraph4.f of reference (a) and alleviates the administrative burden on activities
by no longer requiring submission of Electronic Personnel Action Request
(NAVPERS 1306/7) for DMAP Sailors.3. PRD Assignments for New Accession Sailors. Effective immediately, all
CONUS sea duty accession orders for Sailors in the DMAP Phase I ratings will
be written for an initial 48-month sea tour. Sailors who do not qualify for
a journeyman (E5) sea tour after serving 3 years on their first sea tour will
have their PRDs adjusted to align with their soft end of active obligated
service.
This replaces paragraph 4.b in reference (a) and aligns with the DMAP four-
plus-three construct.4. CA2P. To nominate a Sailor for CA2P, activities must submit a member
realignment request (MRR) in MNA prior to or within the first
3 weeks of the next MNA cycle (i.e., prior to the end of the upcoming MNA
scrub phase). PERS-40 will validate that the activity has a current or
projected E5 funded billet vacancy and then Sailors will be ranked based on
their most recent E5 examination final multiple score. If DMAP quotas are
available (see paragraph 6), Sailors will:
a. Be approved for CA2P.
b. Be realigned to a valid E5 billet.
c. Have their PRD extended for a 3 year journeyman (E5) tour or a 7 year
total initial sea tour (whichever is later).
d. Be frocked to E5 upon completion of agreement to obligate additional
service as described above.
e. Be advanced to E5 upon completion of required training and placement
into a valid E5 billet.
(1) Commands can frock Sailors to E5 as soon as CA2P approval is
received and the Sailor has obligated service through their extended PRD,
either through reenlistment or extension of enlistment.
(2) Sailors will advance to E5 and begin receiving E5 pay upon
filling the E5 billet and will receive DMIP for the last three years on sea
duty. Transaction support centers will effect advancement to E5 upon
receiving the required key supporting documents.
(3) Instructions on how to submit an MRR, as well as a general list
of eligibility requirements, can be found on the Detailing Marketplace
webpage of the MyNavy HR website at:
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing-
Marketplace/.
(4) The full MNA schedule is available on the detailing marketplace
webpage listed above. The first 3 weeks of the upcoming MNA cycles (i.e.,
the scrub phase) are provided below:
6 - 24 June 2022
8 - 28 August 2022
3 - 21 October 2022
5 - 22 December 2022
(5) MNA does not allow activities to submit an MRR for Sailors who
are within their order negotiation window (i.e., within
12 months of their PRD). When operational requirements or PRD adjustments
described in paragraph 2 above prevent MRR submissions prior to the order
negotiation window, activities can submit CA2P nominations via email to
DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil. If the request is approved, actions will be executed
in alignment with paragraph 4.5. Sailors on Second Sea Tour. E5 eligible Sailors (i.e., E4 Sailors who
have passed the most recent E5 Navy wide advancement
exam) and E5 Sailors in a DMAP Phase I rating who are on their second sea
tour are eligible for DMAP incentives in return for a 3 year extension to the
prescribed sea tour length listed in references (b) and (c). This provides
additional advancement opportunities to E5 eligible Sailors prior to hitting
E4 high year tenure. It also provides additional geographic stability
options for Sailors desiring to remain in their current homeport. This is an
expansion of eligibility described in paragraphs 1 and 4 of reference (a).6. DMAP Quotas. The number of DMAP quotas available (i.e., the number of
Sailors that can be on a plus-three sea tour) for each Phase I rating depends
on the number of sea and shore duty billets the rating needs to fill. DMAP
intends to fill sea duty billets that would remain unmanned under sea shore
flow (SSF). MyNavy HR intends to phase in the number of Sailors on a plus-
three journeyman
(E5) sea tour across several years to ensure a smooth transition from SSF to
DMAP, provide opportunity fairness and avoid a large movement of Sailors from
sea to shore at the end of their plus-three journeyman (E5) sea tour.7. Additional Considerations. DMAP represents a major paradigm shift in how
the Navy mans the Fleet. As such, MyNavy HR intends to collect data and
feedback to help inform future adjustments to DMAP.
Sailor and command flexibility and feedback remain key enablers to ensuring
success. To that end, the following considerations are
provided:
a. Tour Extensions. The transition from SSF to DMAP may require PERS-40
to extend Sailors in their current shore duty assignment to ensure proper
manning of critical shore activities and to maximize the alignment between
Sailor and billet rating and paygrade.
b. C-School Quota Management. DMAP Sailors approved for CA2P or A2P who
require training prior to filling a journeyman (E5) sea duty billet will be
given priority placement in the appropriate C- school to the maximum extent
practicable.
c. Pulse Surveys. MyNavy HR intends to send pulse surveys to DMAP Phase
I Sailors who negotiated for orders after each MNA cycle.
This gives Sailors the opportunity to provide direct feedback that will be
used in future policy development.
d. Command Triad Feedback. Command triads are encouraged to provide
feedback, lessons learned and suggested improvements through their immediate
superior in command and type commanders.8. Points of Contact
a. For specific rate/rating/Navy enlisted classification questions and
concerns, Sailors should contact their respective community manager or
detailer.
b. For general career information, including questions about DMIP,
Advance to Position and CA2P, contact MyNavy Career Center contact center at
833-330-MNCC (6622) or askmncc(at)navy.mil.
c. For DMAP questions, contact the MyNavy HR DMAP team at
DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil.9. This message will remain in effect until superseded or canceled.

(6) Due to the FY-23 Enlisted Selection Board schedule for Active E-
7, First Class Petty Officers awaiting Chief Petty Officer (CPO) results to
apply for CWO are encouraged to apply and submit their application by the 1
October 2022 deadline with the following guidelines:
(a) Commands are directed to proceed with the application process
for these applicants as outlined in this NAVADMIN.
(b) First Class Petty Officers awaiting CPO selection results
must add the following statement at the top of the Commanding Officers
endorsement: *Member is awaiting CPO results.* PERS-803 will set aside these
applications until CPO results are announced.
(c) First Class Petty Officer evaluations due 15 November 2022
will be submitted as an addendum per guidelines of this NAVADMIN. If
selected for CPO and the pinning date is after receiving a 15 November 2022
periodic First Class evaluation, the close-out eval is not required to be
submitted as an addendum. Submit the close-out evaluation as an addendum if a
periodic First Class evaluation was not received. Once all of the CPO
results are announced, PERS-803 will integrate or remove those
records/applications accordingly.
(7) WO1 (784X only): 6 to 14 years TIS for E-5 and above. TIS waivers
will not be considered or exceptions granted. Cyber Warrant Officer WO1
(784X) applicants refer to eligibility requirements listed in reference (e).
c. To support career progression models and maximize the
return on investment for the Navy, TIS waivers must be submitted to
ldocwoocm.fct(at)navy.mil before 15 July 2022 for adjudication. Approved
waivers must be submitted with the application.
d. Intelligence CWO (783X) applicants will be considered for selection
into one of three Core Competency Areas (CCA): CI/HUMINT, GEOINT/Targeting or
OPINTEL. In order to apply, applicants must request a primary CCA and those
holding qualifying Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) in more than one field
may request a secondary CCA (i.e., 783X CI/HUMINT / 783X OPINTEL).
e. First Class Petty Officers serving in congressionally designated
combat zones and approved contingency operations areas that meet the
conditions of reference (f) are also eligible for LDO if all other
eligibility requirements are met.
f. Due to ongoing rating mergers or realignments, eligible Sailors are
encouraged to apply for the designator for which they have extensive
documented technical expertise and leadership experience in their enlisted
service records, regardless of current rating. However, special attention
should be given to the guidance in chapter 7, subparagraph 9c of reference
(a) and discrete requirements.
g. Applicants for designators outlined in reference (a) that
have color perception requirements shall have test results
documented as a telephone consult in Armed Forces Health
Longitudinal Technology Application within the past 12 months, and
provide hard copy or have test results documented on standard form-
600 and submitted with application.
h. Applicants must maintain eligibility throughout the selection and
promotion process. Applicants who are deemed ineligible after submitting an
application must be declared ineligible by their current Commanding
Officer/Officer in Charge (CO/OIC). A sample removal of recommendation
format is located at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs. Click through the following path of *Limited Duty Officer & Chief
Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board* link, then *Active-Duty LDO/CWO
In-Service Procurement Board click here* link, then select Applicant
Information, then select LDO and CWO In- Service Procurement Board to
download the form (See Sample Letter of Abeyance or Removal of
Recommendation). Nuclear Power LDO (620X) applicants who are deemed
ineligible must be declared ineligible by their current CO via letter to the
Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133).
4. Appraisal Boards. (Not required for Nuclear Power LDO 620X) Active duty
interview appraisal boards will be coordinated and approved by the CO/OIC and
consist of three AD Naval Officers (LDOs or CWOs preferred). The names of
the approved appraisal board members must be included in the CO/OIC
endorsement. Every effort (including teleconference media) should be made to
ensure the senior board member is from the LDO or CWO designator family for
which the applicant is applying.
a. LDO applicants - it is highly recommended that the senior member of
the interview panel for applicants applying for LDO be an in-designator
commander (CDR) or above. If not available, a LDO CDR or above in another
designator can serve in this capacity with at least one board member from the
designator family. Officers who were CDR or Captain (CAPT) LDOs that
converted to another designator via the Without Board Action (WOBA) process
can serve as the senior member. In communities where there are no longer
senior LDOs within the community, a CDR or CAPT from the parent community can
act as the senior board member, (e.g., a Supply Corps (3100) CDR or CAPT
for Supply (651X)) applicants.
b. CWO applicants - it is highly recommended that the senior member of
the interview panel for applicants applying for CWO be an in-designator
CWO5. If not available, a LCDR (LDO preferred) or above can serve in this
capacity with at least one board member from the in-designator or designator
family (CWO preferred).
c. Minimum ranks requirements for board members are Lieutenant or CWO3.
d. Only three interview appraisals may be submitted for each applicant.
e. Board member preparation for applicant appraisal is an important part
of the board process. Review of the application, review of discrete
requirements for the applicant designator, having well thought out questions
on technical expertise, leadership and knowledge of the designator for which
the candidate is applying, to include future career path if selected, are all
great examples of board member preparation.
f. The technical ability and potential blocks on the interview
appraisal sheet must be marked for LDO and CWO candidates.
g. Each appraisal shall contain the names of all three panel
members. Only the current version of the interviewer appraisal sheet will be
accepted. Interviewer appraisal sheet is located at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs. Click through the following path of *Limited Duty Officer & Chief
Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board* link, then *Active-Duty LDO/CWO
In-Service Procurement Board click here* link, then select Applicant
Information, then select LDO and CWO In- Service Procurement Board to
download the form.
5. Application Submission. Communication to the board (application,
addendums, etc.) should originate from the applicant via their CO. However,
it is acceptable for the command to submit an applicant’s package on his or
her behalf, provided that the package has been endorsed by the CO and the
applicant has been provided a copy of their entire package prior to
submission. Information received that is not under the cover letter of the
applicant (e.g., third party correspondence) and endorsed by the command, or
not received by the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) by the established
deadline(s) will not be presented to the board.
a. All applications must include a command endorsed LDO/CWO eligibility
checklist.
b. Each applicant and CO/OIC must ensure applications/addendums are
complete and accurate. Incomplete applications could result in
non-selection. Applications must be signed by the CO/OIC of the applicant or
the *Acting* CO/OIC. Addendums can be signed *By direction* if the CO or OIC
is unavailable.
c. All applicants must possess a security clearance prior to
commission. Refer to reference (a), (chapters 2 and 7) for security
clearance information, program overview and eligibility criteria.
d. CO/OIC endorsements must contain the following statement:
*Applicant meets all requirements outlined in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, NAVADMIN
XXX/22, the physical fitness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J, and is worldwide
assignable.* The endorsement must clearly identify the command, it must
identify the members of the interview panel, must be signed by the CO/OIC and
include the CO/OICs command point of contact information. A CO/OIC ranking
is no longer required, or desired.
e. Applicants must ensure a copy of their most recent periodic
evaluation is included in the application or provided via addendum for board
review and continuity if it is not already in Official Military Personnel
File (OMPF).
f. Applicants are not required to include an obligatory service
statement to remain on active duty.
g. Applicants currently serving in an Individual Augmentation Manpower
Management, Global Support Assignment or Overseas Contingency Operations
Support Assignment may have their application endorsed by the field
commander. Field commanders must obtain parent command endorsement prior to
submission. A sample format is located at

A Florida Veterans Affairs hospital refused treatment for a veteran dying of heart failure because first responders could not prove his military service, a clear violation of federal law, according to a new report released by a department watchdog Tuesday.
The incident, which occurred at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville in summer 2020, was not the first failure by emergency medical staff there to provide care to individuals facing critical medical crises. Staff from the VA Inspector General’s Office said without policy and staffing changes, it may not be the last.
-
The Navy unveiled promotion quotas for E-4, E-5, and E-6 sailors in the Selected Reserve — which give these sailors a greater chance of being promoted than last year.
Seamen looking to move up to petty officer third class are guaranteed they will get one of the 886 E-4 spots if they pass their advancement exam and meet other requirements. There is a 100% advancement opportunity, the same as last year.

REF G IS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FMR VOL 7A, MILITARY PAY POLICY - ACTIVE
DUTY AND RESERVE PAY.//RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the updated nuclear Enlisted Supervisor
Retention Pay (ESRP) policy memorandum, reference (a).
This ESRP policy memorandum and NAVADMIN supersede reference (b) and
reference (c), respectively, effective 1 August 2022. The ESRP Program
provides a retention incentive to senior Navy nuclear- trained enlisted
Sailors with highly specialized skills. A detailed program description is
outlined in reference (a) and can be found at
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community-
Management/Enlisted/Nuclear/Enlisted-Programs/. The legal authority for ESRP
is contained in section 331 of reference (d) and reference (e). Current ESRP
requirements limit the program as follows:
a. The minimum reenlistment length is 3 years.
b. The maximum bonus amount for each year of additional obligated
service (AOS) is limited to 30,000 dollars as stated in section 331 of
reference (d). The implication of this limit is that to earn a 100,000-
dollar bonus the minimum AOS required is 40 months.
c. The maximum reenlistment lifetime bonus amount is 360,000 dollars.
d. All ESRP payments must be received prior to completion of 28 years of
service (YOS). The implication of this limit is that any ESRP installment
that would be due after 28 YOS will be paid in the final installment prior to
completion of 28 YOS.2. Notable changes in reference (a) are as follows:
a. Zone 2 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 14
years but less than completion of 17 years.
b. Zone 3 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 17
years but less than completion of 23 years.
c. Provides guidance for ESRP requests to be submitted through the Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS).
d. Updates compensation for any term of reenlistment is limited to
30,000 per year of AOS (2,500/month of AOS).
e. Updates a service member cannot exceed combined SRB and ESRP payments
totaling 360,000 dollars in a career.
f. Updates that anniversary payments may not be made after completion of
28 YOS.
g. Provides clarity that each reenlistment must obligate service into
the next zone.3. ESRP Award Multiples. Award levels remain the same as previously
released in reference (c) and are listed below:
a. ESRP Zone 1 and Zone 2 award level (AOS computation stops at
completion of 16 YOS for Zone 1 and 18 YOS for Zone 2):
Rating PNEC Zone 1 Zone 2
ETNSS N13S 9.5 4.5

EMNSW N24S 0.5 1.5 2.5
MMNSW N25S 0.5 1.5 2.5
ELTSW N26S 0.5 1.5 2.54. Eligibility. Only Sailors assigned with an active supervisor Navy
enlisted classification (NEC) listed in paragraph 3 are eligible to reenlist
for ESRP. In addition, Service Members must hold a current security
clearance or be in an open status for a new investigation. ESRP requests and
anniversary payments for personnel with special category NECs (N59X/N89X)
will be held in abeyance pending final resolution. Overall, ESRP eligibility
requirements are defined in reference (a). To encourage career progression
and provide incentive for continued superior at-sea service, the following
supplementary eligibility requirements remain in place for each ESRP zone:
a. ESRP Zone 1. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be
assigned an active nuclear supervisor NEC (see paragraph 3).
b. ESRP Zone 2. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be a
frocked E-7 or in the paygrade of E-7, E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP
Zone 2 reenlistment.
c. ESRP Zone 3. In addition to the requirements of reference
(a):
(1) Be a frocked E-8 or in the paygrade of E-8 or E-9 on the date of
the ESRP Zone 3 reenlistment and
(2) Have successfully previously served as, be currently serving as
(on orders) or have been issued and accepted orders as a submarine
engineering department master chief, nuclear aircraft carrier (CVN) major
division leading chief petty officer, CVN reactor training division officer
or CVN reactor department master chief.5. Application Process. To ensure the approval message is released in a
timely manner, ESRP reenlistment requests should be submitted
35 to 120 days in advance of the desired reenlistment date.
Exceptions to this policy can be approved by the ESRP program manager on an
individual basis.
a. ESRP eligible service members must be recommended for reenlistment by
their commanding officer. The command may use the checklist (enclosure (l)
of reference (a)) to assist in submitting the ESRP request within the NSIPS.
b. NSIPS is programmed to accept ESRP reenlistment requests and is the
only method of submission. If the command is unable to submit ESRP
reenlistment requests due to operational commitments, then the commands
immediate superior in command may submit the request via NSIPS. Due to the
transition from Officer Personnel Information System Force Management to
NSIPS, the ESRP Program Manager can no longer submit a request for a Sailor
or command.
Entering an ESRP request in NSIPS is similar to that of submitting a SRB
request. Other specifics for submitting ESRP requests in NSIPS are stated in
reference (a).6. Officer Programs. ESRP entitlement for Sailors who reenlist after
applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. For
limited duty officer, the application deadline is considered the suspense
date as published in reference (f) and future announcement messages. For all
other commissioning programs, the date on which Nuclear Community Manager
(OPNAV N133) approves the conditional release to apply for that program is
the date after which additional ESRP entitlements will be held.7. Recoupment. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference
(d), chapter 2 of reference (g) and reference (a), which collectively
determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required or
not required, but left to Secretarial discretion or is prohibited. Section
373 of reference (d), requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a
general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought.
Examples of situations requiring repayment are provided in reference (a).8. Service Record Entry. An Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS
1070/613) entry acknowledging recoupment policy via NSIPS is required in the
record of the Service Member prior to execution of an ESRP reenlistment
(examples are provided in enclosure (2) of reference (a)).9. The point of contact is the ESRP Program Manager located at OPNAV N133 at
(703) 604-5502/DSN 664 or via e-mail at nxag_n133d3(at)navy.mil or

The Navy has officially changed the status of 13 Sailors lost when the USS Indianapolis (CA 35) was sunk in 1945 from “Unaccounted for” to “Buried at Sea,” Navy Casualty announced May 27.
The change in status is the result of extensive research between Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), Navy Casualty Office, the USS Indianapolis Survivors Association, the USS Indianapolis Legacy Organization, and the Chief Rick Stone and Family Charitable Foundation. The announcement helps bring closure to the families of these Sailors who lost their lives at the end of a secret mission which helped end World War II.

The Navy exceeded 1,000 separations due to sailors’ continued refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The service has now approved 1,074 separations for sailors who will not get vaccinated against COVID-19 and do not have a waiver, according to the sea service’s weekly update. The Navy cannot currently separate anyone who applied for a religious exemption due to a ruling in a federal lawsuit.

CPO that failure to comply with MPO or CPO terms may result in
Administrative or other disciplinary action, to include potential
criminal prosecution in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(UCMJ).

The grounding resulted from an accumulation of unit-level errors and omissions that fell far below U.S. Navy standards.
PEARL HARBOR — The U.S. Navy has released the command investigation into the USS Connecticut (SSN 22) grounding that occurred on October 2, 2021. USS Connecticut grounded on an uncharted seamount while operating submerged in a poorly surveyed area in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region. The investigation determined the grounding was preventable. Specifically, the grounding resulted from an accumulation of unit-level errors and omissions in navigation planning; watch team execution; and risk management – all of which fell far below U.S. Navy standards.The investigation and endorsements describes what happened, promulgates lessons learned, memorializes completed corrective actions, documents accountability actions, and delineates pending actions that must be finalized with a sense of urgency. In addition to addressing the unit-level errors that caused the grounding, the investigation highlighted specific areas for improvement in the deployment training and certification process – and the Navy is urgently implementing these improvements across the Submarine Force. This investigation delineates 28 corrective actions, of which 14 actions are complete, 13 actions are in progress, and 1 action is enduring.
In implementing these significant improvements, the Navy will become a more effective fighting force. Given the inherently dangerous nature of Naval operations, we cannot become a risk-averse or zero-defect organization, but prioritizing safety will engender a culture of greater attention to detail in operational tasks, enhanced procedural compliance, and a questioning attitude that constantly seeks improvement – which increases the readiness of our forces and the Navy’s lethality in combat.

SAFETY PROTOCOLS.
RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) and (b) pursuant to
the consolidated travel guidance in reference (c). This NAVADMIN
additionally provides additional guidance on mission-critical travel
for unvaccinated individuals and updates Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) guidance for meetings.
2. Summary. Travel and personnel movement must consider COVID-19
related Force Health Protection (FHP) measures to protect the health
and safety of the force, maintain mission readiness and comply with
federal, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of the Navy (DON)
and Host Nation (HN) guidelines. Guidelines have adjusted over time
due to the dynamic COVID-19 environment. FHP measures are now
consolidated in Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and
Readiness (USD(PR)) guidance (reference (c)) which will be regularly
updated as guidelines change. This guidance should be frequently
referenced for the latest FHP guidance on travel and personnel
movement. Reference (c) is available at the following website and
all commands and organizations should monitor the website to ensure
they review the most current version:
https://www.defense.gov/Spotlights/Coronavirus-DOD-Response/Latest-DOD-
Guidance//.
3. Applicability. This guidance applies to all Navy Service Members and
their dependents.
4. Travel and Personnel Movement Updated Guidance and Requirements.
The DoD conditions-based approach to COVID-19 personnel movement and
travel (reference (d)) has been rescinded with the issuance of the
consolidated guidance in reference (c). The conditions-based
approach formed the foundation of reference (a), which is cancelled
by this NAVADMIN. It remains paramount that personnel at all levels
continue to ensure appropriate FHP measures are implemented and the
risk assessment in reference (c) be completed prior to travel.
a. Reference (c) contains detailed guidance on travel for
service members and their dependents, as well as DoD civilians and
contractors, and bases the guidance on location of travel and
whether the travel is official or unofficial. It also provides
testing and restriction of movement requirements. That guidance
should be followed unless more restrictive Navy specific guidance is
provided. The guidance in reference (b), which is cancelled by this
NAVADMIN, is replaced with the testing guidance in reference (c).
During all official travel, travelers will follow all applicable
federal, state, local and commercial air carrier requirements and
applicable HN requirements.
b. Specific guidance for personnel movement for Navy
operational units is contained in reference (e).
5. Official travel for fully vaccinated individuals. In line with
reference (c), fully vaccinated individuals are not restricted from
official travel, both domestic and international.
6. Official travel for individuals not fully vaccinated.
Individuals who are not fully vaccinated, or who decline to provide
information about their vaccination status, are limited to only
mission-critical official travel, both domestic and international.
In any case, travel of unvaccinated individuals should be minimized.
Requests for official travel by unvaccinated personnel outside of
the following categories will be routed to the Under Secretary of
the Navy (UNSECNAV) for decision via the Chief of Naval Personnel
(CNP), the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASN MRA).
In line with reference (f), official travel by unvaccinated
personnel, or those who decline to provide information about their
vaccination status, is only authorized for the following mission
critical purposes:
a. Permanent Change of Station (PCS) travel for dependents
accompanying Service Members or civilian employees who are fully
vaccinated or have a permanently approved exemption. Overseas
screening and medical approval is still required per current
policies.
b. PCS travel for unvaccinated Service Members reassigned
from operational units to non-deployable units. Unvaccinated
dependents of these Service Members are also authorized to travel.
c. Travel of dependents associated with an approved early
return of dependents authorization from an overseas post or station.
d. Government funded emergency leave travel and emergency
visitation travel.
e. New recruits traveling to Recruit Training Command.
f. Travel by patients, 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.
g. Travel by Service Members and civilian personnel approved
for retirement or separation. For Service Members, travel is
authorized for purposes of taking transition leave.
h. Travel by Service Members under the authority of a Chief
of Mission and authorized by that Chief of Mission.
i. Travel by Service Members and civilian personnel not under
the authority of a Chief of Mission and ordered by the appropriate
DoD official to evacuate an area threatened by unusual or emergency
circumstances.
j. Travel associated with new civilian hiring and management
directed actions to include transfers, reassignments, management
directed reassignments and new civilian accessions including formal
entry-level civilian accession programs such as government-funded
internships and fellowships.
k. Travel by civilian employees complying with overseas tour
rotation agreement requirements.
l. Travel in support of mission critical maintenance
operations for DON assets as well as the critical assets of other
services, agencies, and international partnerships that support the
mission of the DON. Mission critical maintenance operations are in
direct support of DON ships, submarines, aircraft, information
technology equipment and infrastructure as well as other critical
equipment not otherwise listed.
m. Travel by Service Members from an overseas post or station
that are not eligible for involuntary extension or will surpass the
180-day limit for involuntary extension.
7. Updated COVID-19 Guidance Related to Meetings.
a. In line with reference (c), approval must be obtained in
advance for any planned, in-person meetings, events and conferences
sponsored by the DON with more than 50 participants (referred to
collectively herein as *meetings*, in a county or equivalent
jurisdiction where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) COVID-19 Community Level is high. Approval authority is the
UNSECNAV and no lower. All organizations within the Navy will
submit requests through the respective chain of command to the
UNSECNAV for approval via ASN (MRA). To the maximum extent
practicable, requests should be submitted no later than 30 days from
the planned start of the event to allow for proper coordination and
routing.
b. For any in-person meetings in a county or equivalent
jurisdiction where the CDC COVID-19 Community Level is high or
medium, the meeting organizer will require all attendees, including
Service Members and DoD civilian employees, to show a completed DD
Form 3150, *Contractor Personnel and Visitor Certification of
Vaccination.* In extenuating circumstances, the UNSECNAV may
approve exceptions for attendees who are not vaccinated. These
exceptions will be requested through the respective chain of command
to the UNSECNAV for approval via ASN (MRA). Organizers of approved
meetings will require attendees to confirm proof of vaccination and,
where exceptions are granted, organizers will ensure that
unvaccinated attendees meet the testing provisions of reference (c).
All attendees will remain in compliance with the masking guidance
within reference (g).
c. For purposes of this guidance, meetings do not include
military training, exercise events and operations. In addition,
private social events at Morale, Welfare and Recreation facilities
or events held as part of DoD Educational Activity schools functions
on naval installations do not constitute meetings.
8. It is incumbent on personnel at all levels of the Navy to take
personal ownership of continuing to effectively implement FHP
measures and ensure they are seeking out and following the latest
guidance.
9. Points of contact. Service Members with PCS questions should
contact their detailer directly or through the MyNavy Career Center.
