In 1911, Eugene Ely became the first pilot to land a plane on a warship when he touched down on the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco Bay. The Pennsylvania had been fitted with a special platform and a crude arresting system of ropes and sandbags. Ely had lunch with the captain then took off and returned to land. A new era was born.

The following message to the Joint Force was co-signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Vice Chairman, and each of the Service Chiefs. It reads: The American people have trusted the Armed Forces of the United States to protect them and our Constitution for almost 250 years. As we have done throughout our history, the U.S. military will obey lawful orders from civilian leadership, support civil authorities to protect lives and property, ensure public safety in accordance with the law, and remain fully committed to protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The violent riot in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process. We mourn the deaths of two Capitol policemen and others connected to these unprecedented events. We witnessed actions inside the Capitol building that were inconsistent with the rule of law. The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection. As Service Members, we must embody the values and ideals of the Nation. We support and defend the Constitution. Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values, and oath; it is against the law. On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief. To our men and women deployed and at home, safeguarding our country--stay ready, keep your eyes on the horizon, and remain focused on the mission. We honor your continued service in defense of every American. 2. Admiral Gilday sends.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

THIS MESSAGE ANNOUNCES COMMANDER, NAVY RESERVE FORCE (CNRF) POLICY AND GUIDANCE FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR (CY) 2021 MERITORIOUS ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM (MAP) FOR SELECTED RESERVE (SELRES) SAILORS AND SUPERSEDES REFERENCE (A). 2. MAP INTENT. WE CONTINUE TO REFINE AND IMPROVE MAP TO EMPOWER COMMAND TRIADS TO RECOGNIZE THEIR MOST TALENTED SAILORS THROUGH IMMEDIATE ADVANCEMENT. OUR RESERVE FORCE IS A PREDOMINANTLY PRIOR SERVICE FORCE WITH UNIQUE ACCESSION PATHWAYS. RATING HEALTH AND ADVANCEMENT OUTLOOK IS SIMILAR BUT NOT IDENTICAL TO ACTIVE DUTY/FTS PLANNING FACTORS. BECAUSE OF THESE DIFFERENCES, RATING HEALTH FOR SELRES NECESSITATES A DIFFERENT PROCESS IN NOMINATION OPPORTUNITY RATHER THAN A DIRECT ADVANCEMENT QUOTA. SELRES ENLISTED COMMUNITY MANAGERS AT BUPERS-352 REMAIN LASER-FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY HEALTH AND FUTURE YEAR ADVANCEMENT MODELS TO ENSURE SELRES MAP TAKES NO UNNECESSARY RISK TOWARDS RATING INVENTORY OR REQUISITE ADVANCEMENT EXPERIENCE. ADDITIONALLY, MAP HAS CONTROLS TO ENSURE WE MAINTAIN A BALANCED AND HEALTHY ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITY BY RATING. ALLOTTED QUOTAS TO RESERVE UNITS WILL CONTINUE TO BE REFERRED TO AS "NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES" TO MANAGE EXPECTATIONS FOR CORRECTLY MANNED RATINGS AND MAY CONTAIN A LIMITED OPPORTUNITY FOR MERITORIOUS ADVANCEMENT. 3. GIVEN THE SUCCESS OF MAP IN CY20, WE WILL TAKE A SUBSTANTIAL STEP FORWARD IN CY21 TO EXPAND THE ABILITY OF EACH COMMAND TRIAD TO RECOGNIZE TOP PERFORMING TALENT DIRECTLY. THIS CHANGE BETTER ALIGNS WITH TOTAL FORCE INITIATIVES. 4. NEW CHANGES FOR THE CY21 MAP INCLUDE: A. ALIGNING MAP SEASONS WITH THE NAVY-WIDE ADVANCEMENT EXAM (NWAE) CYCLES. WE ARE MOVING TO A TWO-SEASON FRAMEWORK IN WHICH THE MAP SEASONS OVERLAP THE NWAE AND CLARIFY THE INTENT OF MAP TO SELECT AND REWARD THE RIGHT SAILORS. THIS CHANGE WILL REQUIRE COMMAND TRIADS TO SELECT THEIR MOST-QUALIFIED SAILORS FOR MAP, WITHOUT REGARD FOR NWAE RESULTS; HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT RELIEVE SAILORS FROM THE NEED TO PREPARE AND STUDY FOR THE TECHNICAL RATING INFORMATION TESTED BY THE NWAE. B. SEASON ONE WINDOW: 01 MARCH 2021 - 30 APRIL 2021. SEASON TWO WINDOW: 01 SEPTEMBER 2021 - 31 OCTOBER 2021 C. MAP-R AUTOMATION TOOL. SIMILAR TO ACTIVE DUTY MAP, RESERVE MAP NOW HAS AN AUTOMATION TOOL, IN NSIPS, FOR NOMINATION SUBMISSIONS. THE TOOL AUTOMATICALLY VERIFIES CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY AND CORRECTLY ROUTES NOMINATION SUBMISSIONS. THE AUTOMATION REDUCES THE POSSIBLE NOMINATION OF INELIGIBLE CANDIDATES. 5. MAP ELIGIBILITY. MAP IS OPEN TO SAILORS WHO MEET ADVANCEMENT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND ARE IN A VALID PAY BILLET. PRIOR SERVICE RE-ENLISTMENT ELIGIBILITY RESERVE (PRISE-R) SAILORS ARE ELIGIBLE ONLY IF THEIR NEW RATE IS PERMANENT BEFORE 1 MARCH 2021. A. UNITS CAN ONLY MERITORIOUSLY ADVANCE SAILORS ONE PAYGRADE. SAILORS IN A FROCKED STATUS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ADVANCEMENT TO THE NEXT HIGHER PAYGRADE UNTIL EFFECTIVELY ADVANCED (I.E., FROCKED E-5 CANNOT BE MERITORIOUSLY PROMOTED TO E-6). B. MAP TIME-IN-RATE (TIR) REQUIREMENTS. THE MINIMUM TIR DATES MUST BE ON OR BEFORE: (1) E-6: 1 JANUARY 2020 (2) E-5: NO TIR REQUIREMENT C. MOBILIZED, DEFINITE RECALL, ADOS, AND CANVASSER RECRUITER (CANREC) SAILORS. SAILORS WHO ARE CURRENTLY MOBILIZED OR SERVING ON DEFINITE RECALL, ADOS, OR CANREC ORDERS CAN COMPETE FOR A SELRES MAP NOMINATION OPPORTUNITY. THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AC/FTS QUOTAS. NOMINATION PACKAGES FOR SAILORS ON MOBILIZATION, DEFINITE RECALL, AND ADOS ORDERS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN NSIPS VIA THE AUTOMATION TOOL BY THE MEMBER'S RESPECTIVE NAVY RESERVE UNIT (SPECIFICALLY THEIR UMUIC). NOMINATION PACKAGES FOR SAILORS ON CANREC ORDERS MUST BE SUBMITTED MANUALLY TO CNRFC VIA THEIR RESPECTIVE RECRUITING REGION. REFERENCE (B) CONTAINS GUIDANCE ON NSIPS MAP-R USER ROLES. D. PER REFERENCE (C), SAILORS MUST COMPLETE PMK-EE FOR THE DESIRED ADVANCEMENT PAYGRADE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE MERITORIOUS ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM. E. MAP PACKAGE REQUIRED ATTACHMENTS. MAP NOMINATIONS SUBMITTED IN THE AUTOMATION TOOL MUST CONTAIN EVALUATIONS FROM 1 JANUARY 2019 THROUGH 1 JANUARY 2021. PACKAGES WITHOUT A 2020 EVALUATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR MAP. 6. MAP NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES. THE LIST OF MAP NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES BY UIC FOR COMMISSIONED UNITS AND RESERVE COMPONENT COMMAND (RCC) FOR AUGMENT UNITS WILL BE LOADED INTO THE AUTOMATION TOOL. THEY WILL BE VISIBLE BY UNIT LEADERSHIP ONCE USER ROLE PERMISSIONS HAVE BEEN GRANTED. CANREC NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE PROVIDED TO NAVY RECRUITING COMMAND BY POC LISTED BELOW IN MESSAGE. MAP NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES ARE ALLOCATED AS FOLLOWS: A. SELRES COMMISSIONED UNITS. NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMISSIONED UNITS ARE BASED ON EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT'S E-4 AND E-5 BILLETS AUTHORIZED (BA). B. SELRES AUGMENT UNITS. EACH RCCS NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES ARE BASED ON E-4 AND E-5 BA FOR THE AUGMENT UNITS WITHIN THEIR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. EACH AUGMENT UNIT WILL COMPETE FOR A NOMINATION OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE RCC. EACH RCC WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUBMISSION GUIDANCE ON THEIR MAP BOARD FOR RESPECTIVE AUGMENT UNITS. C. CANREC. EACH NAVY TALENT ACQUISITION GROUP (NTAG) WILL COMPETE FOR NOMINATION OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE REGION (EAST OR WEST). NAVY RECRUITING COMMAND (NRC) HQ AND PERS-9 ARE ALLOTTED ONE NOMINATION OPPORTUNITY. 7. SELRES MAP RATES. ALL E-4 AND E-5 RATES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MAP, BUT SELECTIONS WILL BE CONTROLLED. ALL NOMINATIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED PER THE TIMELINE IN PARAGRAPH 8 BELOW. 8. TIMELINE. A. THE MAP AUTOMATION TOOL IS DESIGNED TO ROUTE THE MAP PACKAGES AUTOMATICALLY ON THE DATES BELOW. ANY FAILURE TO MAKE SELECTIONS BY THE DUE DATES IS IRREVOCABLE AND COMMANDS WILL FORFEIT THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT MAP NOMINATION PACKAGE(S) FOR SEASON ONE. B. 15 MARCH 2021: DEADLINE FOR AUGMENT UNITS AND NTAGS TO SUBMIT NOMINATION PACKAGES TO APPROPRIATE RCC OR NRC REGION, RESPECTIVELY. FOR AUGMENTS UNITS, THE AUTOMATION TOOL WILL AUTOMATICALLY ROUTE THE NOMINATION TO THE APPROPRIATE RCC ON THIS DEADLINE DATE. NRC REGIONS WILL PROVIDE SUBMISSION GUIDANCE TO THEIR COMMANDS. C. 31 MARCH 2021: DEADLINE TO SUBMIT RANKED NOMINATION PACKAGES TO CNRF FOR THE BELOW COMMANDS. (1) COMMISSIONED UNIT. THE AUTOMATION TOOL WILL AUTOMATICALLY ROUTE SELECTED AND RANKED PACKAGES TO CNRF. (2) RESERVE COMPONENT COMMANDS. THE AUTOMATION TOOL WILL AUTOMATICALLY ROUTE SELECTED AND RANKED AUGMENT UNIT PACKAGES TO CNRF. (3) NAVY RECRUITING COMMAND (NRC) HQ, NRC REGION, AND PERS-9 CANREC NOMINATIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE POC LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 9 BELOW. D. 10 APRIL 2021: SELRES COMMISSIONED, AUGMENT UNIT, AND CANREC NOMINATION BOARD CONVENES. 9. THE CNRF POC IS NCCM(AW) KIMBERLY CEDAR AT (757) 322-5774, EMAIL: KIMBERLY.CEDAR(AT)NAVY.MIL. 10. THIS NAVRESFOR WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL SUPERSEDED OR CANCELED. 11. RELEASED BY VICE ADMIRAL J.B.

Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) has released ALNAVRESFOR 001/21, announcing the latest changes and improvements to the Navy Reserve’s Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP-R). The changes align MAP-R seasons with the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycles, effectively doubling the advancement opportunity for Sailors and further supporting the intent of MAP-R to select and reward the right Sailors for possible advancement. MAP-R is a Navy Reserve program to meritoriously advance eligible personnel in paygrades E-5 and below to the next higher paygrade. The program is intended to give commanding officers the opportunity to recognize their best Sailors by nominating them for advancement when they are ready for the next level of responsibility. “We’ve refined and improved the program to further empower command triads the ability to recognize their most talented Sailors through immediate advancement,” said Master Chief Kimberly Cedar, Reserve Force Command Career Counselor. “We’ve also eliminated several manual administrative processes by automatically verifying candidate eligibility and correctly routing the nomination submissions.” Beginning in season one of calendar year (CY) 2021 (March 1, 2021 – April 30, 2021), MAP-R will utilize a new automated system in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) to track the process from beginning to end. Commands will no longer be required to manually calculate eligibility, submit nominations, and track their paper trail. Instead, the updated MAP-R system will manage nomination opportunities, determine eligibility, and adjudicate the Sailors approved for advancement in a centralized location. The MAP-R initiative aligns with the Navy Reserve’s overall efforts to modernize its administrative processes throughout the Force. Similar to MAP-R, new systems are regularly being released to automate pay processes, orders processing, personnel data, and more. Prior to this announcement, ALNAVRESFOR 029/20 directed commands and units to set up their MAP-R user roles by February 1, 2021 in preparation for the first advancement season of CY-21. Reserve Component Commands (RCC) and Immediate Supervisors in Command (ISIC) must designate an RCC Approver or ISIC Approver, to include account access in order to support subordinate unit MAP-R nominations as delineated in the MAP-R hierarchy structure in NSIPS.

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.

I am getting a lot of inquiries from Sailors who are unable to view their profile sheet. I am unable to help, but I'd appreciate it if you could post here if you are having issues also. Please include the related advancement cycle. I believe most are having issues with cycle 107 but I am not sure.
